Israel Police have arrested a Jewish teen for allegedly pepper-spraying a group of Arabs who he said attacked his family on Rehov Shalshelet in the Old City of Jerusalem.
The incident took place late this morning (Tuesday, Sept. 29), when the teen and his family was passing the Shalshelet Gate.
The youth allegedly released the spray after a group of screaming and cursing Arabs harassed his family near the Gate.
Family members told the Honenu organization they had come to the Old City to celebrate the Sukkot holiday. It was only after they arrived in the city and heard the Arabs screaming and the invectives they yelled, however, that they began to realize the danger they were in, they said.
Honenu Attorney Rehavia Pilz traveled to the police station in an attempt to sort out the situation for the youth who tried to defend his family from screaming and cursing Arabs in Jerusalem.
Last month an older Jewish woman who immigrated to Israel on aliyah from the United States almost a year ago was punched in the ribs by a screaming burka-clad Muslim Arab woman while touring the Temple Mount grounds.
The problem with Muslim Arab harassment here in Israel is that it is impossible to predict when the shrieking “Allahu Akbar!” howls will transform themselves from war cries into true, active jihad (Islamic holy war). It is precisely this dilemma that daily faces Israel’s military, its police force, its government and worse, its civilian population.
The Israeli government has stiffened the penalties for perpetrators of terror, including those of younger ages, their parents, and those who throw stones.
But the government has yet to contend with the perpetrators within its own midst who nurture, incite and encourage terrorism aimed at our own population.
These are the Israeli Arab Knesset members who have traveled to hostile enemy governments in order to promote new forms of attacks on the country they purport to represent, or who have joined hostile, illegal flotillas aimed at breaching Israel’s maritime blockade that exists to prevent terrorists from smuggling weapons to each other.
Some, like MK Jamal Zahalka, joined rioters on the Temple Mount Tuesday morning (Sept. 29) in order to curse and malign the very security forces that are there to protect their lives and those of Israeli citizens who come to visit the site.
Israel is’t going to make it to 100 years old.
Bite your tongue.
why are they not protected from the arabs harrasing them? thats why i wont move to israel, jews ars not protected
And what about the harassers?
Why are the attacking Arabs not being arrested?
Israel will stand forever and her enemies will fall by the wayside amen. G-D Abraham Isaac and Jacob watches over Israel amen.
Israel does the same to its citizens as everyone else, attack Jews who defend themselves.
If they attack, the Muslim must know we we defend our selfs….good for the boy, he has the right to defend his life….why was he arrested?
Why cant he protect himself
Good for the boy
It’s about time! We shouldn’t take it anymore! Kol hakavod to the teenager he saved his family and stood up to anti semitism in his own home we should commend him not punish him
Imagine walking down Times Square and a group of women start threatening, screaming and yelling the “n” word to a family calmly walking down the street!
This is what is happening to Jews in their own homeland every minute of everyday!
This is ridiculous. We should be able to do what we can to protect ourselves. Enough shtuyot!
Sounds like self defense to me.
That’s my question Bruce
That is fkn BULL
They arrested the kid? Israel is turned upside down. Kol hakavod to this young man.
He should have sprayed them with napalm.
sometimes the israeli police is unfair bemet ? ..Kol hakavod jewish teen you fight back.
He must protect himself and his family.
If we do nothing and continue like this then we will fall. Seems most people prefer to bury their heads in the sand. Nothing new for Jews.
This is so wrong in so many ways
May as well just shoot the bastard arabs, you’re going to get in trouble anyway,
When we don’t stand up for ourselves we’re called cowards and when we do stand up we’re arrested! I for one am glad he did something!
I can’t believe you can’t protect yourselves in Israel at least pepper spray should be legal that’s BS
Good for that Jewish young lady !!!
They are protected outside of Arab sections and this one is just now being freed from their insanity. Now it’s about going to show our numbers. I’m proud of this teen for protecting his family when the guard are still afraid to. Sad no Muslim ever seem to be indicted for their antics!
Where is my friend Benjamin Netanyahu בנימין נתניהו
Ridiculous!
The Jewish Agency for Israel
Rubbish, detain the Arabs who upset the Jewish visitors
R I D I C U L O U S
What about the arab women who are hurting jews?
Smart boy! Jewish worshippers should be able to defend themselves against Arab terrorists!
Give him a medal!
Yes Lizabeth Dana Rafaeli your wright, but unfortunately Pepperspray is against the Law in Israel the same as in many western Countries. Only Police and Military have it in case of Riot. And yes if you being bothered by someone then that’s where you have to report that to the Police like here in Canada.
LOL good for him !!!
Good point Barbara why go their if the police on the mount wont protect us . I think this is why many American Jews wont move to Israel all that fighting and rockets and chatting death to Jews . Plus Isreal letting all them prisoners out on trade deals after they murder Jews not a good thing they go right back to killing more Jews .
So the Muslims were not arrested for their actions but the Jewish kid was. Only with Netanyahu and Ya’alon in power are Jews not allowed to protect themselves but need to constantly be martyrs to the stupidity of appeasement.
That is so unfair! If Arab will do that, no arrest?
why are Israeli police arresting those who protect their families,they should be arresting the arabs,everyone has a right to defend themselves,,
This teen is a hero!
And the arabs? Incredible!
I’m sick and tired of reading stories about violent, abusive Arabs who attack Jews on their holiest sites. I’m tired of the political correctness that protects Arabs and Muslims at the expense of Jewish people. An award for this Jewish teen who pepper sprayed the Muslim Arabs!
He was defending his family. Shouldn’t have been arrested .
the teen should get a medal.
Why you arresting a teen but not Arabs who were harassing the family . This is a problem with Israel get rid of all Arabs from Israel . Revoke their citizenship . Arab are really stupid ,they live or come to the countries were the can live in peace no car bombing in sharia law but no they have bring their crappy life style to our civilize society . So stay home don’t come to us .
for his protection I hope
Is Obama running the Israel Police Services these days ?
These screaming harrasing Arabs should be arrested and fined for disturbing the peace.
Would you prefer stones like the arabs?
The screaming harrasing Arabs should be arrested for disturbing the peace!
He only DEFENDED his family!!!!! Detain the right people please!!
Why arrest the victim ?
As always the victim is arrested while the attackers are free… why? Because ACAB!
Arrest and expel these Arabs instead of treating them with kid gloves already.
WTF???
Jordan and its lousy king is paying these hags to harrass Jews! He's provoking this unrest and then he goes to the world and complains about how Israel is handling the "problem" that he has been helping to foment! I agree…EXPELL THESE TERRORISTS AND WOULD-BE TERRORISTS and those who sit in the Knesset.
Just wait till Gabriel comes down and destroys all that you thought was good. You will wonder who he is because he can’t be the same Angel that entered the house that Mohammed was in because he is 100 ft tall. You will wonder why he can’t be killed by the blessings you give Allah. You will wonder why even the ones not attacking him are dying. In that moment as your turn comes, then ,and only then will you know that there is. No Allah. He will trodden the city and clean the evil from its borders before His return. To the Hebrews pray that you will not be found here on earth that day for the time is near for you to climb on your rooftop.
just pep per spraying thats it not killing?
Wake up Netanyahu and trow all the arabs out of Israel border;it´s the only way for Jewish peole to live in peace.
i reckon, that if i was there, i would have done worse than pepper spray. women or no women.
Seems as though the insanity of empowering your enemies who seek your destruction has been imported in ful force from the US to Eretz Israel
Good.
I had a similar experience in the US, a group of Black Jew-haters attacked me, left me bleeding. I managed to spray them, and they ran away. A racist Black cop arrested me, not the attackers. Everybody knows that leftist secular Jews are just as dangerous as antisemites.
You can planely see that is a man hiding under the black sheet.
That a Israeli Jew would be arrested for protecting his family from rioting Arabs is so bizarre I fear for Israel's future if this mindset does not change.
When a goverment can not secure its people it should be replaced..
A jewish person fighting back…are you all mad. It's a well known fact that Jews never fight back. Millions of Jews marched right into the gas chambers without fighting back. Here in Israel that same mentality remains the same. Jewish lives are cheap, just ask any Israeli. Rockets come in, suicide bombing occur, Palestinians kidnap Israelis, and stone anything that moves, Pizza parlors and schools are blown up, what does Israel do? It captures the terrorists, then lets them go. Jewish People acting like they really give a damn…you must be dreaming, or high on drugs.
This is insane.
Disgusting ! Fire the police chief.
i assume they will offer him the appropriate reward for defending his family against the scum of the earth Jew haters. i mean they will do that. right?
The Israeli police detained the victims instead of the criminals. A Jew once said if your are alapped in the face then turn the other cheek. When will the Israelis learn that arabs respect force not mercy
Netanyahu, why bend over backwards to punish your citizens for defending themselves, but go lightly on the militant Muslims. Don’t do in Israel what the U.S. is doing our citizens.
Sorry David Brooks, the G-D of Abraham Isaac and Jacob don’t slumber or sleep He will keep Israel forever and forever please read the word of G-D because the Most High G-D don’t need man but we need Him the I Am amen.
THESE muzzrat ENEMIES SHOULD HAVE BEEN SPRAYED WITH LIVE AMMO!
SET THEIR BLACK BODY BAGS ON FIRE!
walking trash bags!
THIS IS OUR HOLOUR NATION.
THE LAND MUST BE PREPARED FOR THE THIRD TEMPLE. Rebuild the Temple Now
Spines will grow and thrust you, if you Israel let that alive beside you.
He should get a medal.
No! Now is the time "Never Again" should mean "Never Again" & this time if you try to take us down we will take you with us. We will not go quietly this time!
OUTRAGEOUS ! Justice turned on its head ! !
Jews have turned the other cheek so often it feels like a massage…!
Unfortunately, the present government in Israel is playing the waiting game, all of these incidences against Jews/Israel will be justified in one foul swoop when the time is right…!
Why is pepper spray illegal in Israel? It's bad enough that we have such stupid gun laws. What are we supposed to protect ourselves with, marshmallows and fairy dust?
Rabbi Henkin and his wife are murdered. However, the police arrested a teenager, using pepper spray defending his family. No wonder, the Arabs are murdering us.
It's easier to control Jews than Muslim Arabs.
