Judge orders IDF to reveal protocol for arresting Jews who attack Palestinians

[Lamar]

[quote]A court has ordered the Israel Defense Forces to reveal its protocol for arresting Jews suspected of attacking Palestinians in the West Bank.

The ruling was issued as part of a damage suit filed against the state by a Palestinian assault victim. The Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court gave the IDF until next week to comply.

The suit was filed by Mahmoud Awad, 38, a resident of the West Bank village of Tuba. Awad says that in March 2011, a masked man tried to stab him to death and then fled in the direction of Havat Maon, an illegal settlement outpost located nearby. Awad was stabbed in the hand and chest, and an Israeli doctor diagnosed him as having suffered a permanent 10-percent disability.

Awad sued the state for negligence because, according to a police report, border policemen were stationed in a jeep nearby at the time of the assault and saw a masked man fleeing past them.[/quote]

“There’s no doubt that had this been a case of a Palestinian assailant who attacked an Israeli and fled into a Palestinian town, the law enforcement agencies would have left no stone unturned in that town, and would also have tried to prevent the incident and/or arrest the assailant on the spot,” Mack wrote.

Instead, the police investigation was eventually closed on the grounds that the assailant’s identity was unknown.

Thus at a hearing this week, Mack asked Judge Einat Avman-Muller to order the IDF to disclose whether it even has a protocol for arresting Jews suspected of attacking Palestinians, and if so, what that protocol entails.[/quote]

Israel may have its bad sides but their justice system is definitely the best in the Middle East. No Arab state would launch such an inquiry if a foreign worker, for example, was assaulted by a national in front of police.
