Orit Struk, Director of the Yesha Human Rights organization responded to the decision of the High Court to release the five right wing detainees to house arrest.

Stop the unbridled wild oppression of the right wing detainees at the hands of the State Attorney’s Office, that deals a fatal blow to the principles of democracy and...

True story. The minyan at which I daven on Saturdays was started when an apartment complex already mostly built in Hebron was forcibly shut by the police. The land was legally purchased from Arabs who actually owned it and voluntarily sold it, took the money, and got the hell out to the US of A before the PA could kill them. The entire transaction was videotaped and the deed was recorded in the public records. Building permits were obtained and plans for the building filed. But the Civilian Administration decided not to approve of the building, Bet Shalom, and the police forcibly shut it down. But before they could do that, the families who had purchased units barricaded themselves in.

Naturally, where there are Joooz! getting undermined by their own government, the Arabs will come and assault them. So one of the intransigent Joooz!, name of Wolfe I believe, was rushed by five Arabs at once. He had a licensed rifle, and shot two of them strictly to wound. The other three beat him but failed to take away his gun or kill him. The entire incident was on video. Despite the fact that he was clearly in the right, and used his firearm to defend himself, and with restraint, they put him under house arrest, revoked his firearm license, and kept him under house arrest for a few months. The minyan was started in his house in Remat Mamre to support him against the government's blatant injustices. He was finally released, seeing as he had done nothing wrong, but the minyan remains. And the Bet Shalom complex remains closed to this date. You can see it on your way to the Shrine of the Patriarchs. It has concrete road blocks right against all the entrances. One fine day, we will have a government that will gladly open it up again, and allow the builders to finish the work, and the families to move in. It won't be Bibi/Ehud's government, though.
