More on Israeli Police Brutality

Eichler blasts police violence against helpless civilians

"MK Yisrael Eichler (United Torah Judaism) had harsh criticism for the Israel Police on Monday at a discussion in the Knesset on police violence against Israelis during protests, searches of detainees and even while handing out traffic tickets.

Eichler related specifically to police violence against the haredi community which, he claimed, routinely takes place and not only during demonstrations. He referred to the recent incident in Beit Shemesh, where a haredi yeshiva student was brutally beaten by a traffic policeman.

“They were not involved in a violent demonstration. The student was talking on the phone while driving and was fined a thousand shekels,” said Eichler, who added, “The driver pleaded with the policeman and said he has no money. It seemed that the policeman enjoyed tormenting him. The citizen said one sentence: ‘G-d will pay [the fine].’ I do not know if it is prohibited by law [to say that]. But the policeman grabbed him and fired a 'Taser' gun, knocked him down and dragged him like punching bag. No one said a word. The media was silent. Not because it is a criminal and a police officer, but because it is a haredi.”"

Israel pays students to post favorable comments online.

https://www.facebook.com/FromDarknessToLightTRUTH/videos/760705497393111/ There's a few ways of spotting the paid comment makers. One is they generally go for ad homenum attacks. This one is an antisemite, that one is an enemy of Israel, this one is not qualified to speak. I also find it amusing that Noam Chomsky is considered not qualified to speak because his PhD is in linguistics but Alan Dershowitz, a trial attorney, is even though Chomsky is just brimming with relevant facts and Dershowitz is so clearly a manipulator. They are not too educated these commenters.  Also, they also never respond to educated responses because they have no response and possibly they are instructed not to respond so as not to help promote educated thought on the topic.

Apikorsis in Eretz Yisroel

But today, we live in an atmosphere of  kefirah  [denial]. The whole world is  kefirah  today. And today, to get  emunah   peshutah  it is not easy at all. If a person says "I have  emunah   peshutah ," it means he is just dodging his responsibility, when you have to work to get  emunah , he's looking for a  teretz  [excuse] to get out of it, that's all.  Emunah   peshutah  today is very, very rare. If you're born into a very  frum  family, you get a certain degree. But even then, from the street it comes into the house, we don't realize. Once you come into America, or you come into England or Holland, or into Eretz Yisroel today, you should know, you're soaking in  apikorsus . Even the  fruma , under the skin, they have no  emunah  at all, a very thin veneer. You have to work hard, you must labor to get  emunah  today. It's very important to listen to these lessons, and ma...
