PM defends domestic security service, says investigation of Jewish extremists carried out ‘in accordance with the law’
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday rejected allegations that Jewish suspects in a West Bank terror attack had been tortured, telling Knesset members all Shin Bet investigations were being conducted “in accordance with the law.”
“The law is the same for Jews, Arabs, Christians and Circassians. Heaven forbid that we deviate from it,” Netanyahu said during a meeting of his Likud party’s Knesset faction, according to Israel’s Haaretz daily.
Likud Member of Knesset Miki Zohar told the prime minister during the meeting that there have been accusations that the Shin Bet security service tortured suspects during the investigation into the murders of the Dawabsha family, whose home in the West Bank village of Duma was firebombed in July. An 18-month-old infant and his two parents died in the attack, while his four-year-old brother was severely burned.
“Check out what’s happening,” the MK instructed Netanyahu.
In response, the prime minister told those present: “All investigations are carried out in accordance with the law, under the supervision of the attorney general and the courts. That’s how it happens. Despite the assertions, no one has deviated from the rules, which are overseen by the courts system.”
During a press conference on Thursday, the suspects’ attorneys accused the security service of “outrageous physical violence.

“The Shin Bet investigators are allowing themselves to abuse and strike the youth. I understand that the investigators want to arrive at their goal, but there’s a limit,” said the lawyers, all from the Honenu organization, which principally handles cases of Israelis accused of nationalistic crimes.
The Shin Bet, which normally remains silent in such cases, spoke out against the accusations and blasted Jewish terror groups, especially the suspects’ extremist organization, saying they were “anti-Zionist.”
Though the internal security agency would not divulge details of the case, the Shin Bet’s statement made it clear that those in custody were being held in connection with the Duma attack.

Netanyahu would also not discuss the ongoing investigation in depth, as the case is under a gag order. However, he said, “We have an interest in preventing the recurrence of incidents like this. We are doing everything legally and completely under supervision and control.”

@ bernard ross:
I would never look for anyone in the present Israeli political? constellation to be a leader or leaders.
There is nothing to look for in that sewer.
For the most those there are not either right or left, they are renegades, self serving people users.
On the other hand… Outside that cesspool there are thousands of highly capable Jews and friends that will never enter that sewer. ONLY a new structure of government devoid of contamination, at least to start with, could attract them/us.
And it is true. Among trash, Netanyahu is it.
SHmuel HaLevi 2 Said:
I dont think so, not attacks on ALL Jews. I beleive the MO is to destroy competition to the right of BB and their constituency. the demonization of settler jews and those seeking rights in Jewish holy places is geared to get more Israelis to abandon them.. similar to how BB got jews supporting Benett to vote for him. all competition to the right of BB will enable BB to be the only voice on the right… when he is really a centrist left candidate. Center left is where BB wants the electorate to go so that he can become the only reasonable voting choice of the nationalist voter and make the grand deal. The right will simply have to be satisfied with less and less of their desires being implemented by anyone.
SHmuel HaLevi 2 Said:
but who will accomplish that… there is no one.. and those left on the right are daily dwindling and being demonized by the left and the current GOI. During BB’s tenure the right has disappeared, YS has disappeared from discussion… BB is a master politician who is achieving his goals.. no more Bennet(he is now unelectable as a PM), no more feiglin, shaked undercut as Benett was, no more likud right wing(who are they?)…. its all over… the right is DEAD
Well, well, well…
I see that Netanyahu can count on one that believes that torturing, being sadistic against young Jews to extract “confessions” is what this place is all about.
Then again… After all el Netanyahu already graduated at pogroms, destruction of Jewish homes and whole or parts of villages and farms, allowing daily terrorist attacks on civilians, but never at kibbutzim, (go figure that one). Lying about construction came natural to the speechster also.
From all that to using cattle rods, tasers, sodomizing tables is one small step. Molten lead and impaling will be used later… ah?
His generalitos, busy with assaulting Jews in Y & S failed to smash Hamas in 50 days. They GOT to a cease fire… Fantastic logro…
But the gruesome losers tell us that they will do Iran…
Sure.
About a “revolution”. Having been in person witness to revolutions galore, I tend to doubt that three unarmed, untrained kids in sandals were or are up to that.
As to the rest of our folk doing the revolution thing. Whoever says so has got to be kidding.
No one who is willing to defend himself will ever get a gun. The Arab “pakid” in charge of “interviewing” petitioners for gun permits knows exactly who to keep defenseless.
Only monumental a..holes could possibly hang their hat on that monstrous claim. Revolution.
We do need a complete restart away from the MAPAI-MAPAM red book demokratiahhhh. The people must elect, freely elect OUTSIDE the cooked combina, a NEW system of government including but not limited to the establishing of a NEW Jewish National Assembly to utterly replace the knesset. Election by the people of a new judicial, police chiefs, school faculties, etc.
Disband into holding cells pending TRIALS, the torturing ensemble of beasts in the “Jewish Sektion”.
Doing that… Will end intifadas as well. The Rabin partners will understand who is next.
I next anticipate a chorus of “Viva la revolución”
@ bernard ross:
Two updates:
Hotovely inform us right now that [the degenerate beasts working for Netanyahu], are using methods never used until now by such things. Channel 7 INN report.
You and all know what that means.
The pretend “religious Jew” Bennett barked at the same time that the minors, [about three of them, unarmed, isolated, untrained in military subjects], are planning to take apart the country. Arguably his words appear to mean “our country”, their sole property “country” and that is the old MAPAM-MAPAI line.
Ladies and Gentlemen… Stop and think for a moment.
If the criminally bound imbeciles expect us to believe that a few idealist and poor youngsters can take apart this joint, can you all imagine what a real military will do to us if the command, (what command?), is afraid of the sandal totting kids to the point of torturing them to pieces?
I have no idea which country the sold out garbage is talking about.
To the best of records the only ones abandoning to the enemy every possible inch of Israel, ever since Yamit and Sinai, demolishing homes and farms to give the land away, etc, were the collective farms flotsam in uniform that passed to tools to Peres, Sharon, Netanyahu, Bennett and the rest of the creatures.
For the record;
I heard exactly the same words from the heads of the Junta murderers in Argentina justifying the 30000 tortured to death and made into “desaparecidos” victims.
So…
Prepare to see attacks by the monsters against all Jews everywhere. At night of course and using black uniforms, armed to their teeth and with tasers, electric prods, and other goodies…
Alternatively, join in the formation of a new Jewish National Assembly and discard the renegades, unJews under guise, now up there.
Netanyahu WILL perform “mega disengagement” plowing into every Jew he and his demonic associates can.
@ bernard ross:
I have consistently reported on that mutant for years.
Others now not active, Yamit among them, did as well.
Torture has been and is RAMPANT. “Accidents” usually involving prominent Jewish persons occur with uncanny timing and frequency…
Just as he “dealt” with Iran’s nuclear threat, African invaders now virtually controlling South Tel Aviv and all that added to your list of outright betrayals by the speechster with a mime side show aided by cardboard props, expose the item for what he is.
The PEOPLE must set aside the cesspool creatures passing as generals, commanders, self elected “judges” and other such and FREELY elect a new system of government and vetted JEWISH representatives ta the NEW JEWISH NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.
Netanyahu, now again suspected of spiriting State presents, is a mortal enemy of the people and Heritage.
NOTE. On his previous cycle the darling couple were found to have “misplaced” hundreds of presents from other states to Israel…
thats a relief, at least we have a credible declaration from a leader who is known for keeping his word, a lack of deceit and championing the rights of Jews as exampled by:
-his approval and subsequent building in E1
-His commissioning of the Levy report and the implementation of its findings.
-His record of announcing settlement projects and following through with building them.
-His refusal to allow muslim abuse of Jews in Jewish Holy places
-His declaration of the legal and legitimate rights of Jews to live in YS and his subsequent implementation of those rights in accordance with the LON mandate.
-His responsible leadership in advising for folks to remain calm and to wait for the results of an investigation in the apparent Duma arab vendetta arson.
-His plan for dealing with Iran after years of declaring their existential threat to Israel
-His shock at learning that euros were illegaly building muslim homes in YS and his subsequent halting and demolishment of their illegal projects.
-His even handed arrest and administrative detention of leftists and foreign paid Israeli moles who roam the world spreading lies and blood libels about Israel which have cause Jews to be murdered world wide
The list is long of all the reasons why Netanyahu is a credible assurance that should be taken at his word.
All of us be warned. Yet again.
Netanyahu is a pathological liar, betrayer, pogrom supporter… He froze voluntarily construction for Jews, without exception lied about construction, abandoned finally Temple Mount, destroyed hundreds of Jewish homes and villages while shamelessly lying about “reconstruction” alternatives as in Bet El, etc.
The people must use the trail history of such individuals because that will mark the control lines of their actions always.
The Nazis also upheld “the law”… So does the G SS “Jewish Sektion”. The Juntas also did.
The people must demand that the sequestered Jews be removed from the dungeons and offered open detention under a people elected Commission of Inquiry.
The “shabbak interrogation” facilities sealed and then open to the public.
And much more…
Their and our lives are at stake.
