District Court Judge Nasser Abu Taha has requested to relocate from his home in southern Israel to northern Israel and serve as a judge there due to threats and a hostile atmosphere created by criminal elements in Arab society, i24NEWS reported Wednesday evening.
According to the report, some of the suspects and defendants whom Abu Taha has judged over the years hold him responsible for the punishments imposed on them and the "damage" they suffered as a result of his rulings. Against this background, they are demanding that his family compensate them.
The request to relocate to northern Israel was described in the report as an unprecedented step, stemming from the threats and the atmosphere that has developed around the judge in the south.
Abu Taha completed his legal studies in Italy...
Abu Taha was appointed as a judge in 2002 after being selected by the Judicial Selection Committee, becoming Israel's first Bedouin judge.
This is not the first time Abu Taha has been threatened. His car was set on fire in 2014.

So... some bad guys threatened him and he ran away.
Bedouins are nomadic.
Sure, that explains his running away like a boss.
Hey, how come you are in some foreign country now?
Were you just being nomadic? Or did you run away?
Tell the truth, no fibbing.
He was probably an honest judge, so some of the elements decided he needed to reminded of whence he came.
I wanted to move to Israel since I was 13. Obama getting elected dovetailed with my oldest son’s wedding in Israel. So I came, and didn’t leave. This is not “some foreign country” to me. It’s home to all Jewish people, and I felt that acutely since I was a boy.
How come you are hitting the bottle again? Sedative for the pain of your f’d up life? PTSD from military time?
Tell the truth, no fibbing.
Likely. Wouldn’t take baqshish. Ruled according to the law. Unforgivable to the Arabian and Russian underworlds.
