At the Maoz Esther outpost in the West Bank, which has been dismantled several times and rebuilt anew (and will apparently be evacuated yet again within the coming months), Maj. Gen. Tamir Yadai recently met with rabbis and residents of the surrounding Binyamin region. Precisely during the period when the disturbances by the so-called hilltop youth following the death of Ahuvia Sandak reached their peak, the Central Command commander decided to reward the rioters and hold a friendly encounter with them – a heart-to-heart chat on the backdrop of an attack on the commander of a patrol near Kedumim in mid-January and an exceptional incident at the end of January in which soldiers arrested four settlers who had broken into an army base.

Do you remember Zvi Bar Yosef, the settler thug from the West Bank outpost of Zvi’s Farm, a disciple of Jewish supremacy, who a month ago, together with some settler friends, tried to drive away a family of Arab citizens of Israel just because they dared to have a picnic in the occupied territories, where the settlers themselves live in violation of the law?
Do you remember the video footage of this ugly incident, which wouldn’t have embarrassed members of the Ku Klux Klan in 20th-century Alabama, that showed the settlers ordering this Arab family – grandparents, parents and babies – to leave the area, even though they were on public land that doesn’t lie within the jurisdiction of any settlement (we’ll ignore for the moment the fact that the settlements are illegal)? And then, when the family refused, do you remember how our armed Jewish thug grabbed their personal belongings and poured the drinks from their cups over the campfire they had made?

A West Bank settler was filmed trying to eject an Arab family from a public area on Friday, three weeks after being filmed ejecting, with the help of a soldier, an Arab family having a picnic in the same area.
The video of Zvi Bar Yosef, a resident of the nearby unauthorized outpost of Havat Zvi near the village of Jibiya, joins other reports over the past year by Palestinians about being removed from the area.
The unauthorized outpost, partially built on state land and partially on privately owned land, is one of many that have proliferated in the West Bank, which control large tracts and deny access to Arabs.

The meeting came two hours after the Israel Roads Company’s board met in order to sign a Government Companies Authority document committing to uphold the ban on government companies from aiding election campaigns in any form.
At that meeting, the board approved a document by the Government Companies Authority reminding them of their obligation to not use government company employees or assets in election campaigns.
“This document emphasizes the importance of not damaging public trust through political behavior at government companies – and to maintain the ban, on using company assets in any form for political purposes,” it states.

When the head of Israel Defense Forces Central Command, Maj. Gen. Tamir Yadai, meets with “hilltop youth,” residents of the Maoz Esther outpost, in order to “create rapprochement and calm things down” in the words of a military representative, he is conducting negotiations with terrorists. Some of these “youth,” who are no longer teenagers, but adults who legally bear criminal responsibility, participated in unruly demonstrations against policemen after one of them, Ahuvia Sandak, was killed in a road accident during a police chase.
His friends, who fled with him by car after apparently throwing stones at Palestinians, are suspected of reckless homicide, endangering human life on a traffic artery for nationalist reasons, throwing stones at Palestinians and conspiring to commit a crime. These are all clauses that are familiar from indictments filed against Palestinians. The illegal outpost had been declared a closed military area and was supposed to
