Over 30 Wounded in Razing of Beit El Youth Clubhouse
Sivan 26, 5770, 08 June 10 10:36
by Hillel Fendel and Eli StutzA major clash between Jewish protesters and Israel police forces took place this morning in Beit El following the destruction of a youth clubhouse. Over 30 were left wounded.
A busload of Border Guard policemen came out to Beit El Tuesday morning to protect Civil Administration personnel destroying a small structure. The one-room shack, measuring five-by-five meters, had been built by the town's youth a few months ago in protest of the construction freeze and was used intermittently as a youth club. It stood behind the offices of Arutz-7, out of sight and mind of most of the town's residents.

A bulldozer knocked down the walls around 9 a.m. without warning and without opposition. However, by the time the forces attempted to leave, dozens of youths had blocked their way - sitting on the street in front of the bus, and placing two large trash bins in their path behind them. They succeeded in blocking them for almost two hours, until the police began using clubs and tear gas to "break the siege." Police arrested four protesters during the operation.
"30 protestors were wounded and two had to be evacuated for further medical treatment," Magen David Adom's Moshe Eliyah told Israel National News.
A group of youths and adults made their way back to the site of the destroyed structure, starting to rebuild it even as the police forces were still there.
The bulldozer destroyed the walls, and started on the concrete floor but abandoned the job after a few minutes. The town's Rabbi Zalman Baruch Melamed and Mayor Moshe Rosenbaum were on the scene as well. Rabbi Melamed attempted to negotiate with the police for the release of the four arrested protesters. "I told the police that if they released the protesters fully, then I would call for the others to allow the police to leave Beit El peacefully. But the police refused my offer," Rav Melamed related to Israel National News.
"Israel is ours," said Rav Melamed, "We have a right to this land. There is no place that is more ours than this place. All through the generations we have waited and hoped for the land of Israel. We must strengthen it now and not give up."
Police Commander Moti Shushan, who headed the operation, told his version of the events to Israel National News. "We escorted the Civil Administration into Beit El, to ensure their security as they removed an illegal structure," said Shushan. "Dozens of locals began to violently protest the action, and began throwing stones and blocks on my forces. One protester even took a gas grenade from a police vest that was lying in a police jeep and threw it on us. So we responded by spraying them with pepper spray. Eight policemen were wounded by the protesters. I don't know how many protesters were wounded."

A religious female journalist (pictured above) said she was also sprayed in the face with pepper spray. "The police apologized for spraying me; they said it was a mistake, and that it happened because I was too close by. It stung terribly and it still hurts a lot," she complained, her eyes red and blinking.

(Israelnationalnews.com) Knesset Member Dr. Michael Ben-Ari (National Union Party) responded to the Tuesday morning raid in Beit El where police and local residents clashed comparing it to the flotilla incident.
He stated, "Barak sends soldiers with paint-ball guns to fight terrorists and sends border police with clubs and tear gas to fight the settlers. Too bad they don't understand who is worthy of fighting against."
At least 20 youth were injured. The police came to back up the Civil Administration who came with a bulldozer to destroy a one room shack they said was in defiance of the building freeze for Jewish Residents of Judea and Samaria.
THIS IS NOTHING TO BE MOCKED. IT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS TO BE FOUGHT TOOTH AND NAIL. THE MAN IS A CRIMINAL AND HAS TO BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE. TO LET HIM CONTINUE ON HIS MURDEROUS PATH IS TO BE A PARTNER IN HIS CRIMES.

"The authorities are making cynical use of the death of Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu," local sources said. "His funeral was late at night, many people were up almost the whole night, so they came precisely now when everyone was least prepared."%ad%
A line of policemen blocked protesting yeshiva students near the entrance to Beit El. One yeshiva student, who was arguing loudly with the policemen, told Israel National News, "This is our home. After Gush Katif and Amona, we need to show that it won't be easy to destroy more Jewish homes. If we make a big fight over a small little hut, then they’ll realize what kind of trouble it will be to destroy a whole house. They won’t even try it."
Israel National News spoke with another yeshiva student who was wounded in the eyes, face, and neck with pepper spray. "We heard that they were going to destroy the building, so we came out," said the boy who was shivering, wet, and red in the eyes. "Then I went back to go learn in the Yeshiva, but then I was told that some of my friends were arrested so I went out again. We locked arms, and then the police started beating us and spraying us with pepper spray. A policeman sprayed me directly in the eyes. It hurt a lot. I couldn’t open my eyes for a long time. Finally, the MDA team came and sprayed me down with water. My eyes still hurt now. Why did I do this? Because we have to show them that they can’t destroy our homes. We can’t have another Gush Katif."

Report: Obama Nixed Anti-Riot Gear on Flotilla

by Maayana Miskin(Israelnationalnews.com) Israeli troops avoided the use of non-lethal riot gear against passengers on last week's Gaza-bound flotilla in order to appease United States President Barack Obama, according to the World Tribune. Quoting “diplomatic sources,” the paper said Obama nixed the use of equipment such as tear gas to stop the flotilla and demanded that Israel “exercise extreme caution and restraint.”
The White House has not commented on the report.
The report claimed that Defense Minister Ehud Barak accepted Obama's demand, possibly due to his hopes that America will agree to sell advanced weapons to Israel.
It says that the American demand was made despite Israeli intelligence reports indicating possible danger aboard one ship, the Mavi Marmara, which carried primarily Turkish citizens, many of them members of the pro-terrorist IHH organization. Intelligence agents had found that many of the Turkish passengers were trained in weapons use and hand-to-hand combat; their assessments were relayed to the White House.
Ultimately, soldiers boarded the ships with paintball guns and pistols instead of traditional anti-riot gear such as tear gas and rubber bullets. They were quickly overpowered by passengers on the Mavi Marmara, who were armed with clubs and knives. After two soldiers were critically wounded and dragged below deck, a commando opened fire , killing nine passengers and successfully ending the attack.
Obama did not condemn the IDF response, but since the flotilla incident, he has sought to ease tension with Turkey, and has called on Israel to ease its blockade on Gaza.

The Kommemiyut organization responded to the border police raid in Beit El earlier Tuesday by saying that “the rotten traditions of the government and those leading it were on display in Beit El today. We regret the lack of backbone among our national leaders, who let the Defense Minister continue his criminal activities against citizens loyal to the land and country. The crime in Beit El today was exacerbated coming only a short time after the burial of Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu, who loved the people and land of Israel. If just a small measure of the force used in Beit El had been used against the terrorists in the Gaza flotilla last week, no IDF soldiers would have been injured at all,” the group said in a statement.
