Caroline Glick exposes the blood libel against Religious Zionism

The Israeli left's new blood libel: 'Jewish terrorism'
CAROLINE GLICK
"Inside the Israeli media's false reporting of the events of Aug. 4 and what it means for the country. Caroline Glick breaks it down.
(August 16, 2023 / JNS)
On Friday night, Aug. 4, the Israeli media reported that "Jewish terrorists" had entered the Palestinian village of Burqa in the Binyamin region and murdered a Palestinian in a deliberate act of terrorist murder.
The claim was based on the Palestinian Authority's propaganda organ the Wafa "news" service. The Israel Defense Forces spokesman, the Shin Bet and the Israeli Police also adopted and presented the Wafa allegation as fact....

Lichvod the BPJCC and the Jewish Press:
How can the BPJCC honor the likes of Hakeem Jeffries?
Is he really the staunch Israel friend in Congress? Yes he is planning his 7th delegation to Israel.
Study Amalek and you will understand Jeffries. He fooled me as well in 2015. I was charmed as were most of us. Then I finally saw through him and understood the depth of his deception.
A Primer on Amalek by Chananya Weissman
https://chananyaweissman.com/article.php?id=489
It hurts now to see the Jewish Press honor Hakeem Jeffries on their front cover.
Remember what Amalek did to us in Summer 2015 when they supported the Iran Deal and made deals with Jews to be silent so as not to effectively protest the Iran Deal!
Democrat Gillibrand, Jeffries, Booker came out for the Deal.
Jeffries pulled the wool over our eyes big time in 2015. We believed he was a true friend. He met with us. He is brilliant. He made us feel heard. He listened to us. He was our best friend. He talked the talk but it was all deception... deja vu.
They also threw the Yeshivos some $ bones in the summer of 2015.
They believe that for Jews it's just about the Benjamins.
Chuck Schumer didn't actively advocate against the Iran Deal at the time nor stand up to Obama 's support for the deal. He eventually voted against the deal but only after the votes necessary for the Deal to pass were in. He procrastinated and said he was too busy to study the Iran Deal because he was busy working on the Education bill. See 3:30 into video with Chuck Schumer:UP WITH STEVE KORNACKI 7/19/15 I'll make up my own mind on Iran nuke deal . http://www.msnbc.com/up/watch/schumer--ill-make-up-my-own-mind-on-nuke-deal-487177283523
Just knowing that Iran was getting $150 BILLION dollars of sanctions relief is reason enough to come out against it. What exactly about the deal did he have to study? (Caroline Glick at Times Square Rally opposing the Deal)
Only when Gillibrand and other Democrats came out in support of the deal, Schumer finally came out against it. Even after knowing that there were hidden side deals, Schumer didn't try very hard to convince fellow Democrats that this was a bad deal.
Is it happenstance that Yeshivos received big bucks from New York State end of July summer 2015 around this time..Schumer was focusing on this! Monies were freed up that were somehow owed to private schools from 9,10 years ago.... reimbursable...Impeccable timing?

So what did the Democrats gain with sending us some Benjamins at the time?
It bought our silence to protest the Iran Nuclear Deal.
Will Security really come from the Democrats and their blood money?
How effective for example are security cameras when criminals are released and the police have their hands tied?
Amalek is strong when we are weak in our trust of an Almighty G-d.
Isn't it nice Chuck Schumer showed up at this BPJCC bbq bragging about all the Benjamins $300 million as he put it he funnelled to the Jewish Community?
Is it really all about the Benjamins as they believe it is? Taking blood money for programs in Boro Park which buys silence against Pro Choice and any other Toeva agenda and anti G-d agenda of the Democratic Party really helpful for our security?
Hashem is paying attention to see whether we support His Agenda.
The BPJCC services the Torah Community. It is ok for them to speak words of Torah as proud Jews just to test whether their funding will dry up instantly as I predict it might.
Because that unfortunately is the main purpose of the Democrats generous funding to our community. It is quid pro quo and not altruistic.
I would like to hear from the BPJCC the Torah Message that the Land of Israel, encompassing all of Judea and Samaria, is Promised to our Forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob for an everlasting inheritance to the Nation of Israel!
We in turn are obligated to keep the Mitzvoth Teluyot Baaretz including Shemittah. This week's Parsha, Parshas Reeh includes the Mitzvah of Shemittas Kesafim.
But we are in America and it doesn't relate to us one may argue.
Shemittas Kesafim is relevant to us here outside of Israel and that is why our Chachomim have instituted Pruzbul for Jews all over the world. So it is relevant.
But how does Shemittah tie in to this discussion?
Those who keep the Mitzvos of the Torah and the Mitzvah of Shemittah in particular in its entirety are promised security.
Don't we need the Land to keep Shemittah properly and surely the Palestinians aren't interested in keeping Shemittah in EY.
How can G-d Fearing Jews support even a suggestion of a Palestinian State which is driving the campaign to harass and demonize the Settlers and Settlement in Judea and Samaria and stay passive?
Kol Yisrael Areivim.
Has our community spoken out for the Hilltop Youth in Judea and Samaria and the Settlers who are under daily physical attack from the Arabs and are slandered as Jewish Terrorists when they dare to defend themselves?
Is our community speaking out as innocent Settler Jews are being framed, blood libeled and literally tortured and held under Administrative detention, denied their basic civil and human rights while in the Jewish and Secular Media they are falsely portrayed as Jewish Terrorists?
The Police, Courts and IDF spokesperson and Shabak are building a case against innocent Jews with no evidence to speak of, slandering them to create a false narrative of Jewish Terror for a political agenda.
Is it any wonder that the IDF is accused of unfounded atrocities.
Mida Keneged Mida.
How long will it take for Antisemitism to raise its ugly head accusing all Jews especially those that look like the hilltop youth with a big Kippa, long Peyot, and Tzitzit of Terrorism? It actually doesn't take too long. In August 2015 one week after the arson in the Arab village of Duma, killing the Arab Father and Mother and son of the Dawabshe family, the NY Times had an Op Ed by Naftali Bennett blaming a fringe group of extremist Jews namely pointing at the Settler Hilltop Youth condemning them based on Hebrew Graffitti found at the scene and the say so of Shabak. No investigation. Several months later January 2016 there was another article in the NY YmTimes which pictured Hilltop youth learning in a Beis Medrash looking just like Satmer kids and describing them as Jewish Terrorists.
Will our silence and burying our heads about these false allegations and honoring Hakeem Jeffries in his deceptive "fight against antisemitism" really work?
But wont we starve and go bankrupt if we give out loans that don't need to get paid back?
Wont we starve if we refuse money from the Democratic party?
No. Because in the Shemittah year we party and probably gain lots of weight!
Hashem Promises us Great Blessings.
Deception is the name of the game of Amalek. Amalek is the snake charmer that charms us and masquerades as our friend when we fail to daven to Hashem and fail to put our Trust only in Hashem, and are passively silent as the world advocates violating every one of the Noahide laws. Amalek then raises their deceptive face as our friend, so we trust him and fear him instead of Hashem and then Amalek sees to it that we don't daven to Hashem that is until Amalek show their true colors with a planned Holocaust against us chas vesholom. Do we really need to wait for that to happen Chas VeShalom?
They have a given that Jews will do anything to betray their brothers for Benjamins.
Do we have to prove them right?
This BPJCC Kosher bbq is reminiscent of the party Achashveirosh threw for the Jews in Shushan.

Thank you so much for responding to my feedback. I hope it shows you want to report honestly and accurately.
Unfortunately your original report was based on information from IDF spokespeople and by the say so of Shabak who unfortunately, very sadly, are compromising Israel's defense and the defense of its citizens because of a global political agenda.
Know from this incident not to believe slander on the Jewish Settlers. They are persecuted. They have been framed, have been infiltrated with informers and set up and provoked to look as if they are engaging in acts of Jewish terror, engaging in acts of revenge against innocent Arabs, and then placed under administrative detention, denied a lawyer, denied due process and denied basic civil rights. They have been emotionally and physically abused, tortured and subjected to miscarriage of justice big time all for the purpose of producing a false narrative of Jewish Terror. The enemy will use Jewish Media like JBS and of course the secular media as their messengers of spreading this false narrative.
Please investigate the Duma arson and the ongoing miscarriage of Justice to Amiram ben Uliel. The wealth of proof of his innocence is there for anyone who is looking for Truth and Justice. Please do your due diligence before believing any reports of Jewish Terror.

I was listening to your report tonight about the Terror attack in Tel Aviv and how PM Netanyahu praised the guard who neutralized the attacker after the terrorist shot the security guard and said he saved many lives
Question: Are tax paying Jews in Judea and Samaria considered part of Israel?
You then talked about an episode in the Shomron where you either intentionally or unintentionally distorted the facts. You started the segment by stating that Jews and Arabs were throwing rocks at each other. Here are the facts from those at the scene. Close to Shabbos, late Friday afternoon a lone shepherd by the name of Yechiel Indor was shepherding his sheep near Maoz Zion. He came under attack by a mob of Arabs. Yechiel called for help and security. He had a license to carry a gun. His friends came. Apparently the Jews were greatly outnumbered. A big rock hit Yechiel in the head and he was seriously injured. Pictures show how there was a crack in his skull. Pretty gorey. Yechiel managed to shoot back in self defense and an Arab was killed. Yechiel did not start the provocation. He was seriously injured and required brain surgery. The Arabs were not initially investigated. So the more accurate news item is that yesterdays latest arrestees was a shepherd who was injured seriously and had to undergo brain surgery after his head was cracked open from a lynching Arab Mob and seems to have fired back in self defense and his friend Elisha ben Rena who brought him to Shaarei Tzedek and turned in the gun to the Mishtara then also got arrested as a suspect for killing an Arab.
Shame on the Mishtara and Shame on JBS TV for reporting in a way that slanders the Jewish Settlers with a slant pushing a narrative of Jewish Terror. Jewish Character assassination in the media was adding insult to injury following this attack on Jewish Settlers. Creating an equivalency between Arabs who glorify Jihad and shout "From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free" vs Jewish shepherds is wrong.
Do Jihadist Arabs really deserve a positive slant, or even equal moral equivalency, over the Jewish Settlers who defend themselves against Arab aggression?
Is the Blood of a Jewish Settler cheaper than the blood of a Jew from Tel Aviv?

Judicial Reform and the IDF
Bsd
Lichvod Rabbi Yitzchok Dovid Smith and Rabbi Shimon Chyrek, Shlita
Thank you for all that you do and have done on behalf of Am Yisroel.
I read the week's roundup
Week's Roundup - How to understand high intensity conflicts and the Marxist phony dialectics they serve - Case Study - Israeli Judicial Reform
listened to the video regarding justice reform.
Case study - Judicial Reform in Israel: How Marxist Phony Dialectics Divert us from G-d & our fellow
I hear the argument that evil forces, (Rabbi Smith calls it Marxist Communism phony dialectic), controls both sides.
I agree that the leftist anti judicial reform comes from a desire to control Israel.
I agree that Netanyahu is compromised and his agenda is not searching for Truth and Justice but rather simply to keep himself in power. He has lied to both sides. He too is a puppet.
I would suggest to continue your work namely that fighting for Truth and Justice based on Torah and yearning for Malchut Shamayim, and working to educate the world regarding observing the Sheva Mitzvoth Bnei Noach and Universal morality, is the way to move forward.
Rabbi Smith In the past, spoke out powerfully against getting bogged down with all the scary news out there such as dangers facing humanity via scientifically genetically modifying humans etc...
Rabbi Smith said that Marxist Communist phony dialectics infiltrates both sides to create disunity and war.
Let us do a Paradigm shift.
Hashem has empowered both the leftists and Netanyahu.
Rabbi Smith suggested in the past, not to take either side and not to fear all the terrible news that points to either side under the influence of the side of evil.
I remember writing back that indeed we need to acknowledge their great power to do evil but at the same time say Ein Od Milvado.
The same with the 2 political forces fighting for and against Judicial Reform.
Bh for Torah. Torah will dissipate the evil.
I would like to see a G-dly force of people seeking Truth and justice as defined by Torah and Halacha. We need leaders like yourself to lead and focus on Truth and Justice and the Sheva Mitzvoth. Torah is the only answer and the only true Justice Reform that could exist untainted by external evil forces.
Powerful political forces have infiltrated the IDF military and private companies in Israel and Israeli government and educational institutions etc....and they are rebelling against Hashem. We need to fight back.
This unfortunately probably will backlash big time as we see in the case with the media and courts and IDF and Police and prosecution framing Settler hilltop youth with slander and blood libels attempting to destroy them them with character assassination in the media painting a false narrative of "Jewish terrorism".
From their perspective, Torah fighting Jews are the most dangerous people out there. Especially the ones that demand courts based on Torah.
The creme de la creme, idealistic Hilltop Youth bh can not be easily bought. Of course evil forces try their best to infiltrate and since that doesn't work that well have resorted to framing, provoking, torture, blood libels and slander.
Let us collectively stand up against their immoral blood libels and Administrative Detention and unlawful incarceration. Let us not be afraid to base our arguments on Torah for Jew and Non Jew. Let us somehow educate the world to emulate Almighty G-d and His Attributes and that Torah is looking for Truth and Justice and mercy and Righteousness not only for Jews but for non Jews alike..
Both Jews and non Jews need real evidence of wrongdoing before locking anyone up under the pretext they are dangerous and ticking time bombs based on the say so of enemies from within or without who have no case to speak of...
Torturing Arabs to extract confession is not permissible.
Moshiach will usher an era of Peace and Prosperity. Wasn't the Sanhedrin stationed in the Bais HaMikdash on Temple Mount in the H-ly Temple itself? Didn't Yisro suggest a court of righteous judges and discouraged Moshe Rabbeinu from judging alone?
Is Moshiach a pre requisite for the Sanhedrin or is the yearning for Hoshiva Shofteinu a prerequisite for Moshiach?
Regarding the IDF and Sheirut Leumi a similar situation. Let us teach what a kosher Jewish army is about. How must a Jewish soldier act?
The Jews were counted in the Midbar according to Yotzei Tzava. 20-60.
Surely then Hashem supports a Jewish Army. Countless examples in Tanach. Shevet Gad and Reuvein, Shirat Devora all called for the entire nation to participate in the conquering of the land. What about the Mitzvoth DOrayta incumbent on a Jewish soldier. Surely there wouldn't be any such mitzvoth if a Jewish army is a bad thing ?
True the IDF has been infiltrated. But we still need a jewish army. We cant throw out the baby with the bathwater. We need to educate re Torah and Halacha when it comes to fighting our enemies.
Let us not be afraid to speak out for a Torah units in the IDF that do not brainwash its soldiers and for a prototype Torah State in Judea and Samaria run by Torah Law with militias and the ability to successfully defend ourselves from enemy attackers.
The present situation has deteriorated placing the Jews living in Judea and Samaria in real danger, in Hebrew, Sakonas nefoshos.
Being cruel to the merciful, namely cruel toward innocent hilltop settlers, and merciful to the cruel, namely attacking Arabs, for political brownie points, is against Torah and also against common sense and standard military protocol.
Hashem Oz leAmo Yiten.

Rabbi Rosenblum writes: Mishpacha 22 Shevat 5775/February 11, 2015 page 27
"No issue was fought more passionately by Israel's chareidi community in the 1950s than the national service for women. The gedolim of Eretz Yisrael ruled that attempts to enlist women of draft age even in nonmilitary, national service frameworks, created a prohibition of yehareg v'al yaavor - one must give up his life rather than transgress.
Prime Minister Golda Meir once asked Rav Yaakov Kamentesky why the gedolim so strongly forbade the national service option for women. Rab Yaakov replied that no unmarried, young woman may ever be subject to the authority of someone other than her father, and especially not someone who is not shomer mitzvos.
I'm pretty confident that Golda Meir found that particular explanation more than a little implausible, old-fashioned and unduly suspicious of the behavior of the IDF commanders.
My friend and mentor Rabbi Shmuel Kuperwasser pointed out to me last week more confirmation - not that any was needed - that the old rabbis were not naive. In the past year, seven high-ranking police commanders have resigned amidst scandal - four in bribery scandals and three in cases involving harassment of female employees often many such employees - under their command. A fourth district commander is also under investigation on harassment charges.
Inspector General Yohanan Danino admits that "the police department is in need of root canal work." And indeed the series of scandals has badly shaken public trust in the police. But at least it should have reinforced public trust in the rabbanim."
Dear Editor and Mr. Rosenblum,
Were these Sheirut Leumi girls?
This is my first hand knowledge of Sheirut Leumi. '
I lived in Kiryat Arbain the 1980s and the Kindergartens, schools, Matnas and Medrasha depended on Sheirut Leumi for their operation for the benefit of the community. It would have been very difficult to pay for these much needed services otherwise. Are you implying that working in schools, kindergartens, Medrasha, Matnas etc. can be dangerous to our girls?
On a very personal level, my daughter had a very positive Sheirut Leumi experience working for L''Maan Achai in Beit Shemesh servicing also the Chareidi community helping out in a Moadon for young girls ages 7-12 who came from disadvantaged homes. Twice a week she cooked lunch and the rest of the time she was a big sister to some of these girls and other times worked in the after school Moadon. Her co worker supervisor was a marriedChareidi Breslov women with a large family, a wonderful role model and friend for my daughter. My daughter also became close to many of the office staff (female) who befriended her etc. I am sure she also came in contact with males, who ran the program, like a sweet elderly volunteer gentleman of L'Maan Achai who always sampled her meals and complemented her on them or perhaps those who advised on how to handle finances in a responsible manner as he advised the clients of L'maan Achai.
My daughter also helped with distribution of Mishloach Manot and Kimche D'Pischa.
I'm not quite sure how this environment is any different than any Chareidi charitable organization and I am very upset that you are portraying Sheirut Leumi in a blanket negative light.
Do you have any evidence whatsoever that the girls involved in the police scandal were indeed from Sheirut Leumi?????
In addition, Motzei Shem Ra seemed to be the case also with the Chareidi Draft.
According to Rav Yisachar Shiomo Teichtal, a Torah giant, the Holocaust, to which he himself fell victim, was very much a consequence of the failure of Europe's orthodox Jewish leaders to heed the teachings of the Prophets and the Sages to redeem Eretz Yisrael when even Gentiles—recall the Balfour Declaration and the League of Nations—supported the return of the Jews to their ancient homeland. He blames rabbis who, by denouncing secular Zionism and opposing immigration to Israel—aliya—discouraged Jews from fulfilling their sacred obligation to return to and rebuild the Land of Israel and thereby sanctify God's Name.
Fleeing from the Nazis, and writing in 1943 without books and while Jews were perishing around him, Rav Teichtal composed an extraordinary work entitled Eim Habanim Semeichah (A Joyous Mother of Children)2 There he cites an incredible number of Torah, Talmudic, and post-Talmudic sources showing that "the purpose of our afflictions is to arouse us to return to Eretz Yisrael." These sources all speak of the crucial importance of the Holy Land. They show that the redemption of the Jewish people can only take place in the Land of Israel.
Rav Teichtal goes further. Contrary to what he had learned from contemporary rabbis and had himself believed prior to the Holocaust, he shows that the secular Zionists were deserving of great praise; for even though they denied the Torah, they were fulfilling the commandment to return to and rebuild the Land of Israel. What is more, further research on his part revealed that many of the great halachic authorities—experts in Jewish law— predicted that secularists would restore the Holy Land! How is it possible, therefore, that learned orthodox rabbis failed to heed the teachings of Torah masters—Rav Teichtal cites Maimonides (the Rambam) and Nachmanides (the Ramban)—regarding the mitzvah of settling in and rebuilding Eretz Yisrael?
To begin with, let us be fair and recall that, in the closing years of the nineteenth century and the early years of the twentieth, the venerable beliefs and customs of the Jewish people had come under the ideological assault of the Socialist and Communist movements along with that of secular Zionism. The defections from tradition, especially in urban areas, were massive. On the surface, therefore, orthodox rabbis had good reasons to oppose the shallow secular Zionism initiated by Theodore Herzl's The Jewish State. They saw in this Zionism the denial of the Sinai Covenant and the chosenness of the Jewish People. Secular Zionists, influenced by the egalitarianism of the Enlightenment, regarded all nations as equal. They rejected the idea that the Jews were "a nation apart." And yet, had not Jews lived and died for their apartness? Did not the deepest instincts of the Jews call for difference and distance? In contrast, the Zionists envisioned a state in which the Jews would become a "normal" people. No longer would they suffer the scourge of anti- Semitism, of pogroms and humiliation. The dignity of the despised Chosen. People would be restored—note the paradox—and at last they would live in peace and security.
To become a "normal" people, however, the Torah, which had sustained and inspired the Jews for thousands of years, would have to be relegated to the home and the synagogue. Jews would then have a new national identity. Judaism would be divorced from public law, would cease to be an all- comprehensive way of life. This was anathema to the rabbis. Besides, they believed that a Zionist state based on non-Torah law could not possibly succeed or endure.
Now it so happens that, three decades before Herzl's pioneering work, certain rabbis did in fact encourage aliya. In 1864, Rabbi Tzvi Kalischer published a book, Derishat Tzion, which was praised by various halachic authorities for its proposed "Organization for the Settlement of Eretz Yisrael." Mention should also be made of the Chofetz Chaim, Rabbi Yisrael Meir HaCohen, one of the greatest Torah scholars of modem times. (His unparalleled halachic work, the Mishnah Berura, is the definitive compendium of Jewish law.) Even in the aftermath of the 1929 Hebron massacre, the Chofetz Chaim encouraged aliya. He held that "there is no Torah like the Torah of Eretz Yisrael, and there is no wisdom like the wisdom of Eretz Yisrael" (Bereisheet Rabbah, Numbers 16:7). Nevertheless, when Rav Teichtal wrote Eim Habanim Semeichah, so prevalent was anti-Zionism among European rabbis that he was compelled to cite the halachic authorities that had endorsed Kalischer's work in the hope of persuading other rabbis to encourage aliya and thereby save as many Jews as possible from the Nazi inferno.
Without wishing to malign these rabbis and thereby arm the wicked, Rav Teichtal nonetheless compared them to the Ten Spies, about whom it says in Psalms 106:24-25: "They murmured in their tents... They despised the desirable Land" and thus discouraged the Children of Israel from entering the Land promised to the Patriarchs. Although the spies were princes of Israel, Rav Teichtal cites various sources that explain their behavior as motivated by self-interest: they were afraid that in Eretz Yisrael they would lose the positions of leadership they held in the desert! (See the Zohar 3:158a.) "The same holds true in our times," says Rav Teichtal "even of rabbis, rebbes, and chassidim. This one has a good rabbinical position; this one is an established Admor [a prominent Torah master]; and this one has a profitable business or factory or a prestigious job which provides great satisfaction. They are afraid that their status will decline if they go to Eretz Yisrael. People of this sort [though otherwise meritorious] are influenced by their deep-rooted, selfish motives to such an extent that they themselves do not realize that their prejudice speaks on their behalf."
Rav Teichtal quotes numerous sources that extol the great merit of Eretz Yisrael. The Talmud: "He who dwells in Eretz Yisrael is like one who has a God, and he who dwells outside the Land is like one who does not have a God" (Ketuvot llOb). The Midrash: "It is preferable to dwell in the deserts of Eretz Yisrael than the palaces of Chutz LaAretz" (Bereisheet Rabbah, Genesis 39:8). The Zohar. "I will return in peace to my father's home, for there lays the Holy Land, there I will be perfected . . ." (l:150b).
Does it not say in Genesis 15:7: "I am the Lord who brought you [Abraham] out of Ur-Kasdim to give you this Land to inherit it"? The Talmud expresses this as follows: "The Land of Israel is an inheritance from our forefathers" (Avodah Zara 53b). Therein is the basis of the Jewish claim to Eretz Yisrael. Now, if Rav Teichtal, a man of extraordinary learning, courage, and love of the Jewish people, could question the motives of prominent rabbis who denounced secular Zionism and thereby discouraged Jews from leaving the fleshpots of Europe for Eretz Yisrael, what shall we say of the descendants of those who established the State of Israel and who now wish to abandon Judea and Samaria, the heartland of the Jewish people? Are their motives any purer?

Shame on Slanderous reporting on JBS TV
Bsd
I was listening to your report tonight about the Terror attack in Tel Aviv and how PM Netanyahu praised the guard who neutralized the attacker after the terrorist shot the security guard and said we wont let such attacks go unaddressed in Israel.
Then you talked about an episode in the Shomron where you either intentionally or unintentionally distorted the facts. You started the segment by stating that Jews and Arabs were throwing rocks at each other. Here are the facts from those at the scene. Close to Shabbos, late Friday afternoon a lone shepherd by the name of Yechiel Indor was shepherding his sheep near Maoz Zion. He came under attack by a mob of Arabs. Yechiel called for help and security. He had a license to carry a gun. His friends came. Apparently the Jews were greatly outnumbered. He fired in the air. A big rock hit Yechiel in the head and he was seriously injured. Pictures show how there was a crack in his skull. Pretty gorey. Yechiel managed to shoot back in self defense and an Arab was killed. Yechiel did not start the provocation. He was seriously injured and required brain surgery. The Arabs were not initially investigated. So the more accurate news item is that yesterdays latest arrestees was a shepherd who was injured seriously and had to undergo brain surgery after his head was cracked open from a lynching Arab Mob and seems to have fired back in self defense and his friend Elisha ben Rena who brought him to Shaarei Tzedek and turned in the gun to the Mishtara, then also got arrested as a suspect for killing an Arab.
Shame on the Mishtara and Shame on JBS TV for reporting in a way that slanders the Jewish Settlers with a slant pushing a narrative of Jewish Terror. Jewish Character assassination in the media was adding insult to injury following this attack on Jewish Settlers. Creating an equivalency between Arabs who glorify Jihad and shout "From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free" vs Jewish shepherds is wrong.
Do Jihadist Arabs really deserve a positive slant, or even equal moral equivalency, over the Jewish Settlers who defend themselves against Arab aggression?
Is the Blood of a Jewish Settler cheaper than the blood of a Jew from Tel Aviv?
