TIMES OF ISRAEL
The rabbi who married a couple at whose wedding revelers brandished guns and knives and stabbed the photo of a Palestinian baby who was killed in a suspected Jewish terrorist attack has blamed the deadly firebombing of the Dawabsha home on the Shin Bet and Arabs.
In a video published by Ynet on Friday, Rabbi Daniel Stavsky, a prominent religious leader among right-wing extremist settlers, says that concerning the torching of the Dawabsha family home in the West Bank village of Duma in July, “it’s known that all the actions they want to attribute to Jews — Arabs did, and even the provocateurs of the Shin Bet’s division against Jewish terrorism did it in order to incriminate [settler extremists]
Israeli authorities say the firebombing was the work of Jewish terrorists, and several suspects are in custody.
Stavsky officiated at a wedding earlier this month where guests danced with rifles and knives to songs calling for revenge against Palestinians and celebrating the murder of the Dawabsha family. A video from the wedding was leaked to the press earlier this week, prompting outrage.
Dozens of guests at the wedding will be summoned by police for questioning next week.
“All the agencies of evil are against the Jews alone,” Stavsky says in the undated video. He echoes the charges of a suspect’s lawyer, claiming that “in the dark basements of the Shin Bet’s division they’re carrying out terrible, brutal torture against innocents as well as sexual abuses and cruel crimes against humanity.”
An unspecified number of Jewish detainees are suspected in the July 31 firebombing of the home of the Dawabsha family in the northern West Bank village of Duma, killing 18-month-old Ali Saad on site. Parents Saad and Riham died of their wounds in the hospital. Only five-year-old Ahmed, now in rehab, survived the blaze.
In an unprecedented public statement, the Shin Bet on Thursday acknowledged the use of the so-called “ticking bomb” protocol in the interrogation of Jewish extremists, enabling the security service to “manhandle” detainees suspected of planning imminent attacks.
Still, the Shin Bet vehemently denied the accusations of detainees, who say they were subjected to sexual assault, electrocution and beatings. According to attorneys for some half-dozen detainees, Shin Bet investigators tortured the suspects through beatings, sleep deprivation and other measures.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Education Minister Naftali Bennett and numerous other Israeli leaders have firmly backed the Shin Bet, and dismissed the far-right criticism of the agency.
In contrast to Stavsky, earlier on Friday nearly 50 religious Zionist rabbis signed a letter condemning all acts of violence against Arabs and expressing support for the Shin Bet national security agency in its investigation of the fatal Duma firebombing attack.
“We condemn and reject all the detestable manifestations of violence and hatred, such as ‘price tag’ [attacks], directed against Arabs,” the 47 religious leaders wrote, referring to anti-Arab attacks and vandalism.
“We rule that these actions are entirely contrary to the Torah of Israel and Jewish values.”
The letter also supported the Shin Bet in its efforts to “uproot all manifestations of Jewish terrorism.”
The signatories included Rabbi David Stav, the head of the Tzohar organization, and Rabbi Shlomo Riskin, chief rabbi of Efrat.
Sick people !
The US has some 120 Holocaust museums. Time to organize at least one House of Horrors museum in which the illustration with quotes shown above could figure, among thousands of other Jewish documents and various “artifacts.”
