GOOD! Marzel is taking up the fight I started a couple of months ago in Kiryat Arba -Hevron by going to the local council and giving them an ultimatum; high time. See "NOISE TORTURE, ARAB WEDDINGS" labels.

Hevron's Noisy War: Mosque Loudspeakers vs. Jewish Music

Elul 28, 5769, 17 September 09 01:38

by Maayana Miskin

(Israelnationalnews.com) Hevron resident Baruch Marzel is sick of being disturbed by Muslim prayers, which are broadcast through loudspeakers atop the Tomb of the Patriarchs (Maarat Hamachpelah) and other local mosques five times a day. So the veteran Land of Israel activist has rented his own sound system and says he will play chassidic music 24 hours a day until his Muslim neighbors agree to turn down the volume while praying.
(PS: no need to rent a sound system: we could make our own for about $ 750 )
"They got money from Saudi Arabia to get a loudspeaker system just to make us miserable. I rented a powerful system and put on Carlebach every hour of the day. The [IDF] Civil Administration asked me to stop, I told them that when they stop I'll stop – and believe me, they'll stop," Marzel explained.
Local Arabs have filed a complaint over Marzel's music, with help from the pro-Arab organization Yesh Din. ( unbelievable Chutzpah on their part: the cacophony they do is simply unbearable)
Marzel said he welcomed the complaint. "I'm waiting for them to bring this complaint forward, to bring this up for public debate." However, he criticized Yesh Din for taking up the cause, calling members of the group "anti-Semites and traitors."
Loud chassidic music is an appropriate response to the Muslim muezzin, said Marzel, who said he was acting "measure for measure," a synomyn to the concept of an "eye for an eye." Marzel also complained about Muslim weddings in the Tomb of the Patriarchs, which he said often continue until 3 a.m., while Jews are asked to end their ceremonies by 11 p.m.
"This is the only way to put an end to Arab abuse of Jews. And it isn't just here – the muezzin bothers residents of Ramat Shlomo as well," Marzel said. Even residents of Tel Aviv hear the call to prayer blasting from the Hassan Bek mosque, he added, "but in Tel Aviv they don't want to impinge on the sanctity of Islam. So let them keep suffering."
"We will not suffer. We will fight back," he concluded.
A similar battle took place earlier in the year in the town of Kfar Veradim in the Galilee. Residents of the town took to playing loud classical music in response to noisy weddings in the nearby Arab village of Tarshiha.

Shalom Daisy,

 

This piece really "resonates" with me Daisy. I was walking with a friend in Jaffa about 10 days ago and the local mosque began that hellish call to worship their moon god "allah". We were in an area of restaurants not far from the mosque and just that little bit of exposure was really more than I could stand. I hope the Jewish residents of Hevron give those evil Muslims no peace over this matter.

 

The more insults the Muslims heap on the Jews the worse it will be for them. Muslims understand and cower under force, so the idea of Jews siding with Muslims is just an abomination. May the Lord ultimately bring His wrath upon them as with their Muslim "friends".

 

Starting their young on a life of abominations, horror and torture; poor little baby girls, do they have ANY idea what awaits them? While boys are taught cruelty, VIOLATION OF BASIC HUMAN DECENCY at an early age... MONSTERS!

DS comments:

Over Shabbat, the video was removed for 'violations of term'; not just on this blog, on Tamar's blog too. Now let me ask you, WHO IS COMMITING A VIOLATION: THE PEOPLE WHO FILMED AND POSTED IT, OR THE PEOPLE WHO WERE FILMED EATING SNAKES ALIVE?? The video is violating human decency, and not the content? Not the people IN the video? I guess those savages don't want people to realize what subhuman, disgusting, repulsive creatures they are. But I had a chance to watch this movie, and it is absolutely disgusting: it is showing how Hezbollah 'trainees' eat snakes alive.

This is a clear violation of basic laws for humanity as expressed in the Torah: EVER MIN HACHAI, eating part of an animal while it is still alive. I didn't believe such things actually happened in real life, but now I have been proven wrong: our neighbors up north regularly practice that abomination.

This places them in a category all by themselves as NON-HUMAN. They act like wild animals, therefore they have left the human race and joined carnivores such as hyenas, cats, lions, panthers, etc. From now on they belong to the genus felines, not homo sapiens any longer.

And we know what we do when we find wild animals attacking humans; there is only one response possible.

Update on NOISE TORTURE, ''WEDDING" CELEBRATIONS, AND VERY REAL GUNSHOTS FIRED

IDF Ignores Threat of Celebratory Gunfire, Yesha Jews Say
Av 5, 5769, 26 July 09 10:40
by Maayana Miskin

(Israelnationalnews.com) In Judea and Samaria (Yesha), as well as the rest of Israel, the sound of celebratory gunfire from an Arab village is not uncommon. Such gunfire often accompanies weddings and other festive occasions in Arab communities throughout the region.

However, Jews in Judea and Samaria have discovered that such “festive” gunfire can pose a very real threat. The Jewish residents of these areas say the risks are being ignored by military and police officials who prefer to avoid possible friction with Arab villagers.

Menachem, who lives in a Jewish community near Ramallah, reports that a bullet pierced the roof of the caravan in which he lives with his wife. The projectile nearly hit their dining room table.

Menachem and his wife were not in their home at the time, and realized what had happened only the next day. Police came to investigate, he says, but told him, “There's nothing to do, these things happen.”

If Jews had fired guns for any reason and hit a nearby Arab home, the police response would have been different, Menachem believes.

A similar incident took place in the Jewish community of Beit El, north of Jerusalem. There, a bullet pierced a local caravan and nearly hit a baby girl.

The girl's father, Yisrael, recalls that a bullet hit his neighbor's house as well. The family heard the gunfire, but only realized the next morning how close the fire had come to causing a tragedy.

Security forces were informed of the incident, but chose not to respond, he say

Comments;

1. DS

This reminds me of the second intifada, except this time it is done much more intelligently - I guess they got good training from the American General Dayton. Now it is done under cover of celebrations. JESUIT TACTIC, NOT GOING FRONTALLY. BUT THE FACTS REMAIN THE SAME; A GUNSHOT IS A GUNSHOT IS A GUNSHOT.

WHO SAYS THOSE GUNSHOTS TO JEWISH HOMES ARE ACCIDENTAL? KNOWING THE ARABS, I WOULD SAY THAT THEY ARE DELIBERATE. IT SURE "SOUNDS" LIKE A CASE OF ISRAELI ARMY COLLUSION WITH YET MORE ARAB VIOLENCE.

AND REMEMBER WHO IS TRAINING THOSE PA SOLDIERS: THE USA, UNDER GENERAL DAYTON.. INCLUDING SNIPER RIFLE TRAINING, APPARENTLY... WHAT FOR, I ASK YOU?

AND HOW COME BARAK WANTS TO OPEN TZIR TZION ONCE MORE: SO THEY CAN HAVE MORE 'WEDDING CELEBRATIONS" - reminds me of the 'weddings' of young iranian girls in Iranian jails - , shoot at Jews, and quickly run away?

I HAD SUSPECTED THAT THESE "WEDDINGS" WERE COORDINATED WITH THE PTB, for the noise aspect. NOW IT SEEMS WE HAVE ONE MORE PROOF OF THE CRIMINALITY OF THE ARABS, THE POLICE , THE PTB, AND THE IDF, WHO DELIBERATELY LET THEM GET AWAY WITH SHOOTING AT JEWS.

ONLY BY MIRACLE, SO FAR, NOBODY GOT HURT ...


2. from A7 readers:

1. "there is nothing to do these things happen"
If it happened to the home of the police officer,he be singing a different tune.

All police & IDF personel should leave "Yesha" they serve no purpose there,The local population can take care of these matters,much more efficiantly with-out police or IDF interference.

3. Arabs have illegal weapons in Jerusalem
Last year at Id-el-fitr, after Ramadan, which coincided with Rosh Hashanah, celebratory gunfire occurred in primarily Arab Bet Zafafa, not 100 meters from Jewish homes and the new Mizpeh in Gilo. Calls by neighbors to the police to intervene received this response: "Don't worry. In a few days it will be over." One neighbor then asked: "And if I fire my gun into the air?" The policewoman answered: "We'll arrest you immediately." Arabs with illegal weapons fire into the air illegally and our police do nothing. The police and politcal establishment have already surrendered the "Arab" parts of Jerusalem. The city is divided. And When the next war occurs, call it Civil War because these Arabs frequently carry Israeli IDs and passports, guess who will be armed. Are we stupid? We need to shovel out the apathetic, defeatist, appeasing politicians and administrators as quickly as possible.
Big Lebowski, Venturamura (27/07/09)

5. Celebratory Gunfire
So, what happens when they start slanting the guns downward? The police involved in this incident should all be released. Why pay they money if they are not doing anything?

3. From our friends:

Yaacov says:

Get reserve officers to organize and train local community self defense units. In the Jerusalem Post for March 1, 2001, the IDF reported reduced manpower available for defense of communities over the Green Line and said that residents of those communities have to take more responsibility for their own defense. It is high time to take up the offer. The future of Israel as a Jewish state and as a democratic state depends on arming and training the Jews, community by community, neighborhood by neighborhood, to defend themselves. The government has to permit and facilitate it or it will place itself precisely in the role of the British Mandatory government, the protector of the Arabs in their massacres of Jews. Let Kiryat Arba lead the way. It should be emphasized that the threat is to every Jewish neighborhood in the country and every sector of the Jewish population.



The fact is that the whole country is under dire threat and the government seems to be pretending that the threat does not exist. Prior to the closure of Orient House, the Palestinian Authority had been deeply engaged in computerizing the identity of properties owned by Arabs prior to 1948 and matching properties to families. They make no secret of their intention to send hundreds of thousands of "refugees" into "Israel proper", backed up by armed Palestinian "police" to "reclaim" the homes their ancestors had abandoned. Nor do they conceal their intention to kill any occupant who refuses to vacate the premises.



Every Jew in Israel should apply for a license to own a weapon. Whoever is refused should write to every Jewish member of the Knesset demanding legislation mandating the right to own and bear arms. The government and the Knesset should be inundated with requests for licenses and demands for the right to own and bear arms. In fact, we should all demand that the weapons confiscated from the Palestinian terrorists be distributed to Jews. Meanwhile, neighbors should get together and bring in experts to teach them how to secure and defend their neighborhoods.

SHmuel says:

SHOTS: Karmiel has been non stop on the receiving end of "wedding" celebrations from Majd El Kurum, Dir EL Assad and Bane villages nearby.
They fire from M-16's to Mags using live ammo. In several cases "stray" bullets hit cars in Karmiel.
They have veritable arsenals in the villages and no one in the BP or police dares to go in to remove those weapons...


Rabbi Dov said:

The policy is to push the Jews out of Hebron

DS said:

For sure. But you know how: BY MURDER and TORTURE, plain and simple - at the hands of the Arabs.

Rabbi Dov replied:

This is an old idea. If the government will do it it will put it far away from any success in the next vote. There is enough place to think that was the reason why the murderer of Kahana was an Arab. There are who claim that he was a delegate of the SHABAK

NEW, COMPLETE VERSION, WHICH YOU CAN USE IN YOUR OWN MUNICIPALITIES: NOISE TORTURE PERPETRATED BY OUR ARAB NEIGHBORS; PRACTICAL STEPS TO TAKE, AND ONE SOLUTION TO THE NERVE-RACKING PROBLEM OF NOISE TORTURE BY OUR ARAB NEIGHBORS

NOISE TORTURE! Assault on the Shabbat; and not only in Jerusalem...

Deafening arab music in Kiryat Arba on Shabbat; you can see how close to our homes they built their houses, ON PURPOSE ( we were here first!).

B"H

Shavuah Tov to all,

This Shabbat must have been one of the most upsetting Shabbatot I spent in memory; not because of the heat, and not because of the nine days: because of an all-out ASSAULT ON SHABBAT BY ARABS IN RAMAT-MAMRE (Givat Hacharsina ), the neighborhood of Kiryat Arba across the valley where Arabs have set up residence, building their homes closer and closer to the fence, where I live.

After a long week of hard work, Shabbat had barely descended upon our usually peaceful community; a time of great delight every week, when silence descends upon Israel; Shabbat is palpable in the air, noise stops, and we can finally breathe a little bit better, and enjoy "Oneg Shabbat".

... but not this week: barely time for Kabbalat Shabbat, and the infernal noise broadcast via loudspeaker started... and wouldn't stop until way after midnight.

Read below: this is a recurring problem during the summer: the Arabs hold very loud weddings outdoors, and they also make sure to turn on their loudspeakers full blast in our direction; they have also built their homes as close as possible to the fence, and weddings in the summer are a frequent occurrence. They usually have more than one wedding at a time, so this creates a real cacophony. For about 10 minutes a night, I don't mind a little peasant music once in a while, it is actually sort of quaint; but when they blast their loudspeakers in a most aggressive manner,specially on Shabbat, turning them on and off, louder, less loud, in an absolutely maddening way, it is not only a nuisance; it is AGGRESSION, pure and simple. Everybody knows that they do this deliberately, to make our lives impossible. Not to mention the gunshots being fired non-stop throughout the night, and the fireworks - see the report below, how a car in the Tapuach junction thought it was being shot at, and it turned out it was a 'wedding',

Yeah,'weddings'. We need to give them a little dose of "weddings" too! As I was sharing my distress with my neighbors, who were equally upset, and mentioned how it ruined their HEALTH even; and after trying without success to have a message conveyed to the local police - don't forget, it was Shabbat, so we were unable to CALL and complain, so messages had to be relayed as best we could - I finally walked over to the home of a local policeman I don't know, knocked at his door, and told his wife ( he wasn't home, being on duty that night), who is also a Shabbat observant person , that unless the police starts acting against this, I would make sure that 150 cars blare their loudspeakers on a Friday , THEIR rest day, next to their homes, starting at 6:00 AM, and going non-stop all day long, until they get the message, and beg us to stop.

And then this morning, about 8:30, heavy machinery, which is NEVER heard , was started , coming from them, again, and would not stop until the evening.

Shabbat was just maddening, and NOT RESTFUL AT ALL. I am still shaking from it all. This is real psychological - and physical- abuse; read below how noise was used against the Branch Davidians in Texas to GET THEM TO LEAVE THEIR COMPOUND. Noise is also listed as a form of torture, secretly used so as not to leave a trace. This is an abuse that cannot be allowed to continue; TIME TO USE THE CORRECT TERMINOLOGY: it has to be called by its right name; not weddings, not noisy neighbors: VIOLATION OF OUR HUMAN RIGHTS, AGGRESSION, ABUSE, HATE CRIME, EVEN TORTURE OF THE JEWS , SPECIALLY ON OUR REST DAY.

Surprisingly, somebody in the North had a similar idea on how to tackle  the same problem- read below.

. And knowing the CLOSE RELATIONSHIP between Arabs, the AMERICANS, the PTB, and our government, knowing that the defense establishment routinely USES ARABS TO HURT US, I would not be surprised that this is one more weapon of the PTB to try to get us out of here. The police is not moving a finger against them, and the ABUSE CONTINUES.

IT IS A WHOLESALE ATTACK ON THE SHABBAT - NO DIFFERENT FROM THE ATTACK ON THE SHABBAT IN JERUSALEM, THAT RESULTS IN RIOTS ALMOST EVERY WEEK.

 (Ynet)Beethoven to the rescue

Northern residents upset at loud Arab music from nearby village respond with classical tunes

Officials at a northern Israel community found an original way to protest the unbearable noises coming from weddings in a nearby Arab village: "Bombarding" their Arab neighbors with classical music.

If you happened to be in the Kfar Vradim area Thursday night you would have been able to enjoy Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, Mozart's Requiem and Puccini's opera Tosca. The pieces were played at high volume in Kfar Vradim and were heard miles away.  

Kfar Vradim (Photo: Elad Gershgoren)

By now, Kfar Vradim residents are intimately familiar with a recurring annoyance: Every summer, once wedding season is underway in nearby Arab villages, Jewish residents complain of Arab music being played at a loud volume until the wee hours of the night. The weddings are routinely followed by angry calls to police. In some cases, the music is turned down for a short while, only to resume shortly after"'I 've lost all patience" said one Kfar Vradim resident. "At 11:01 pm I call the police in order to complain. I'm one of the regular callers. Our bedroom faces Tarshiha and it is just impossible to sleep with this noise. Some days you can't sit in the backyard. The level of disturbance changes in line with the wind direction; sometimes it feels as though the band is literally in our backyard. The noise is just awful."

 

Complaints are received from within the Arab village too. One Tahrshiha resident said this week: "We hear weddings from all directions. It's very disturbing. Christians hold their weddings at banquet halls, but Bedouins celebrate in their own yards, and the noise is a nuisance not just to their neighborhood but to the entire area." With all due respect to weddings, people have to get up for work in the morning," she said.

Kfar Vradim's musical reaction followed numerous failed attempts to engage in dialogue with Tarshiha residents. Finally, a decision was made to set up powerful loud speakers playing classical music for several hours.

A source affiliated with the council head explained why local official chose the unusual response: "We just felt we had no other choice; all of our attempts to explain that the loud music is undermining our quality of life have failed. But we have yet to despair; this week the council head scheduled a meeting with the village's dignitaries. He intends to explain to them again what his representatives have tried to explain in previous meetings: That residents of Kfar Vradim respect their neighbors' right to celebrate."

"On the other hand we have a reasonably sized population here that should not be forced to become an active participant in these celebrations. It's very disturbing, even in the early evening hours,"  the source said, adding that local officials have not been approached by their Arab neighbors following the classic music "performance."  

"It wasn't necessarily a one-time event, but we won't necessarily do it again. Everything will depend on developments. We are taking a series of actions, including purchasing a seismograph in order to render matters clear and not up for discussion or interpretation," he said.

"It's a long process which we hope to conclude successfully. However, if we are forced to play the music again we shall put the speakers closer to the neighbors' houses."

I don't have any literature on noise torture. However, I do recall that
when I was a member of Amnesty International I used to read in their
newsletter about something used in Latin America called "ablandamiento", if
my Spanish is correct, or "softening up". The prisoner would be bound and
blindfolded and have a set of headphones put on him, which would play noise
continuously for 24 hours or more.

One thinks too of the use of loud music to drive people out of strongholds
or sanctuaries, e.g. Noriega in Panama, and the Branch Davidians in Texas.

NOISE AS INSTRUMENT OF TORTURE:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torture

carried on in silence (official denial), semi-silence (known but not spoken about), or openly acknowledged in public (in order to instill fear and obedience).

In the 21st century, even when states sanction their interrogation methods, torturers often work outside the law. For this reason, some prefer methods that, while unpleasant, leave victims alive and unmarked. A victim with no visible damage may lack credibility when telling tales of torture, whereas a person missing fingernails or eyes can easily prove claims of torture. Mental torture, however can leave scars just as deep and long-lasting as physical torture.[68] Professional torturers in some countries have used techniques such as electrical shock, asphyxiation, heat, cold, noise, and sleep deprivation which leave little evidence, although in other contexts torture frequently results in horrific mutilation or death. However the most common and prevalent form of torture worldwide in both developed and under-developed countries is beating.[citation needed]


OTHER, IMPORTANT HEALTH DANGERS:



Hearing loss is bad as it is. But if you do not protect your hearing in music clubs, movie theaters or while working in the garden, you can contract tinnitus. Tinnitus that is induced by loud noise exposure is characterized as a constant sound that is only audible by yourself but not to anybody else.

Most reports fail to mention Tinnitus although it can become chronic, even the first time it occurs. And it can occur at any age. Contracting tinnitus is a life changing event for most people that are affected by it. There is no cure, only treatments that might or might not help improve the condition.

Nighttime Noise and Blood Pressure

By Sora Song

The din of airplanes landing, motorcycles roaring or a bedmate snoring can make for patchy sleep and strained nerves. But even when you manage to slumber through a rackety night, your body still registers the noise by raising blood pressure, according to a small new study.

Volunteers living near four major European airports with night flights — in Athens, Milan, Stockholm and London — took part in the study published this week in the European Heart Journal. Study participants were outfitted with ambulatory blood pressure monitors, which were programmed to take readings at 15-min. intervals throughout the night. The volunteers' bedrooms were also equipped with an MP3 recorder and a noise-meter, which recorded all ambient noise, its timing and its volume. Researchers considered a "noise event" to have occurred if any sound, from road traffic, aircraft or a partner's snoring, exceeded 35 decibels (dB) — not a very high threshold, considering that a quiet whisper from 3 ft. away measures about 30 dB and the hum of a refrigerator logs about 40 dB. Noise levels recorded in volunteers' bedrooms fluctuated between about 30 dB or 40 dB to about 80 dB or 90 dB, roughly the volume of a food blender.

Researchers found that people's blood pressure rose reliably in response to a noise event, even when it wasn't loud enough to wake them. The response was consistent across all sources of sound, whether from the runway or the other side of the bed. Airplane noise, for example, caused an average 6.2 mmHg increase in systolic blood pressure (the pressure of blood in the artery when the heart contracts — i.e., the larger, top number) and a 7.4 mmHg increase in diastolic pressure (when the heart relaxes between beats). A snoring partner and road traffic had similar impact. And the effect was dose dependent: The louder the noise, the higher the jump in blood pressure. For every additional 5 dB in volume of aircraft noise, systolic and diastolic blood pressure rose another 0.65 mmHg each. "It's a small increase in the blood pressure, obviously, but it is significant," says co-author Dr. Lars Jarup, who specializes in environmental and occupational medicine at Imperial College London.

The new report was a corollary of a much larger study conducted by the same research group, examining the relationship between hypertension and nighttime exposure to noise near airports or daily exposure to road traffic noise. That study, which appeared online in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives last December, involved 4,861 participants, aged 45 to 70, who had lived at least five years near a major European airport. Researchers found that nighttime airport noise was linked to a significant increase in risk for hypertension; every 10 dB increase in exposure led to a corresponding 14% rise in high blood pressure risk. In addition, the study found, daily exposure to road traffic noise (at average levels above 65 dB) led to a more than 50% increased risk of hypertension — but, curiously, only among men, not women.

The new study, which included 140 middle-aged volunteers with normal blood pressure, was designed to take a closer look at the link between noise and hypertension risk — a relationship that researchers still don't fully understand. "It seems plausible that if you have a lot of these transient [blood pressure] changes during the night — if you live around the airport for many years, for example — that in the end you might get some long-term effects on your blood pressure," says Jarup, "but we don't really know." Why the body responds to nighttime noise is also somewhat mysterious. While the research in humans is new, previous lab experiments in animals have shown that they register blood pressure blips in response to noise, even during sleep or sedation. "That was the same here," says Jarup of the current study, suggesting that the human body's response may be similarly automatic. "It's not that you're annoyed and that's why your blood pressure goes up. It's something that's in the brain, and we really don't know what the mechanism is.... It could well be some kind of stress reaction, which is recorded subconsciously."

Hypertension — defined as having systolic blood pressure of 140 mmHg or diastolic pressure 90 mmHg, or higher — is known to increase risk of stroke and heart attack. Risk factors like nighttime noise are perhaps less decisive than other changeable variables like weight, exercise and alcohol intake. But, in general, says Jarup, "I would say that the main point is to reduce your risk factors — the fewer the better."

LEGAL ASPECTS:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loud_music

Criminal

Many jurisdictions have laws defining loud music as a criminal offense, typically a misdemeanor. The exact definition of what constitutes a loud music violation varies by location, either at a certain volume (measured in decibels) or the distance from the source at which the music can be heard. The time of day is also often a factor in the law, with the restrictions in some places applying only to specified nighttime hours (e.g. 11 PM-7 AM). The amount of effort put forth by law enforcement members in dealing with loud music also varies by location.

The most common punishment for a conviction is a fine or some other small sanction. But on rare occasions, loud music may be grounds for imprisonment. In May 2008, a United Kingdom woman was sentenced to 90 days in jail for violating a court order not to play music that disturbed her neighbors eleven times.^[1]

Police have also at times discovered other crimes, such as illegal drug usage, when investigating loud music complaints.^[2]

Civil

In many settings, loud music is not tolerated by property owners, and may be grounds for certain civil actions, such as eviction from rented property.

 

A SOLUTION FROM A RADIO EXPERT:

This part of the article will be available to select readers only, upon proper identification and proof of need, such as being a Shabbat observer and being targeted by noise aggression.

CONCLUSION:


IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MOATZA TO MAKE SURE THAT THE POPULATION IS NOT EXPOSED TO CHRONIC HEALTH DANGERS.

IN THIS CASE, NOISE ABUSE, NOISE AGGRESSION AT ALL TIMES OF THE DAY OR NIGHT ARE THE HEALTH DANGER MENTIONED, BOTH PHYSICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL,

IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE POLICE TO STOP CHRONIC OFFENDERS.

HEALTH CONSEQUENCES WHICH OCCUR BECAUSE OF NEGLIGENCE ON THE PART OF THE POLICE AND THE MOATZA WILL BE DEALT WITH IN THE COURT SYSTEM.

TO AVOID A LAWSUIT, THE MOATZA AND THE POLICE NEED TO TAKE ACTION IMMEDIATELY.

EVERY DAY THAT PASSES INCREASES THE DANGER TO THE POPULATION, IN PARTICULAR TO OLDER PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN AREAS TARGETED BY THE ARABS' LOUDSPEAKERS.

BESIDES LEGAL REMEDIES, ONE POSSIBLE REMEDY IS LISTED ABOVE.

ALSO TO BE NOTED IS THE CURRENT USE OF JACKHAMMERS ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS, FROM EARLY MORNING UNTIL LATE HOURS OF THE DAY, BY THE SAME ENEMY ENTITIES , IN THE PROCESS OF BUILDING A HOUSE, THE LEGALITY OF WHICH IS CERTAINLY IN QUESTION. IT IS ASKED OF THE MUNICIPALITY TO DO ITS UTMOST TO CONVINCE THE POLICE TO REDUCE THAT ASPECT OF THE NOISE LEVEL AS WELL.

THE NOISE LEVEL THAT HAS TO BE REMOVED EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY IS THE UNCONSCIONABLE AND INTOLERABLE NOISE LEVEL PERPETRATED UNDER THE EXCUSE OF WEDDINGS.

JEWS HAVE WEDDINGS TOO, BUT WE DON'T ENDANGER OUR NEIGHBORS' HEALTH IN THE PROCESS.

IT IS THE OBLIGATION OF THE AUTHORITIES TO MAKE SURE THAT ARABS DON'T ENDANGER OUR HEALTH BECAUSE OF THEIR WEDDINGS.

IT IS ALSO IMPERATIVE THAT SHABBAT LOUD MUSIC BE BANNED EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY: AFTER A WHOLE WEEK OF WORK, JEWS ARE ENTITLED TO THEIR NEEDED REST, WHETHER RELIGIOUS OR SECULAR; THIS INCESSANT CACOPHONY MAKES REST ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE.

THE CHOICE OF THE CONSEQUENCES IS IN YOUR HANDS, IF YOU NEGLECT TO HANDLE THIS, BE PREPARED TO SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES.

KIRYAT ARBA

 

Somebody from Efrat comments;

Daisy,

Over here it started mamash the night of Rosh Chodesh Av, with hours and hours
of explosions and gunfire and fireworks and music blasting from all the Arab villages
from the hills surrounding us, in every direction. The fireworks seem like a cover for
machine gun training, as though they're having a wedding celebration. This happens
often enough, but since the Nine Days began, it's been crazy and out of control.
Better since Shabbat--maybe they tired out. It was almost as though they sent a
message stating that they understood the meaning of this time for us, and they were
mocking us, and flaunting their ascent, and our helplessness vis a vis Obama and
world pressure, and our own government's betrayal. Don't forget, major demolitions
of outposts and expulsions were slated at the time. In fact, the noise may have
