Gil (actual identify withheld) mistakenly entered the Arab village of Qalandiya in Judea due to a navigational error. He was attacked upon coming into the village. His bag turned into stolen and a huge stone become thrown at his motor vehicle. He escaped, however the police refuse to appreciate the attack as nationalistically inspired, and his attraction in opposition t the choice became rejected this week.
The incident occurred the Friday before the Sukkot break. Gil changed into touring from his place of work in the Binyamin region to his domestic in Lod, when his Waze navigation tool directed him into Qalandiya after he overlooked the turn to Jerusalem. He discovered himself stuck in a traffic jam and surrounded through Arabs. one of the most Arabs realized that he become a Jew, and attempted to open the driver's door. Gil pulled out the knife he consists of for self-protection and left his vehicle to confront the attacker. The Arab then ran around the vehicle, opened the back door, grabbed a bag from the again seat, and fled.
Gil tried to make his break out in the car after having been exposed as a kippah-wearing Jew in entrance of all of the Arabs crowding the intersection. yet another Arab threw a huge stone at his car as he tried to break out the traffic jam. He managed to get away and make contact with the police and turned into in contact with them and with the IDF until he reached Jerusalem safely.
Gil may have escaped from the attack, but his try to receive compensation for the hurt and the stolen bag have been stymied when the police determined to categorise the incident as criminal instead of nationalistic in nature. He became to attorney Menashe Yaddo, a representative of the Honenu criminal organization. Yaddo appealed the decision to the police officer in can charge of the case, but the appeal turned into rejected on the grounds that stone throwing and theft are crook offenses.
Yaddo referred to that he would continue to attraction the resolution. "This changed into naturally a nationalistic incident. we've considered a couple of nationalistic robberies, together with the murder and robbery of Avi Ben-Zion."
"however even if we assume that the device is appropriate to label robberies as criminal offenses, there is not any logic in defining stone-throwing as criminal. Thieves don't throw stones. each infant in the street knows that the throwing of stones at a Jew who's surrounded by way of Arabs is nationalistic. The police, regrettably, places its head in the sand and refuses to contend with the well-known fact that Jews are attacked for nationalistic reasons."
