MK Yisrael Eichler used the Knesset forum on Tuesday 23 Iyar to speak out against police brutality in general, specifically against the chareidi community. Eichler spoke of the unprofessional and violent behavior of police when issuing traffic summonses as well as during protests. One case in point was the recent brutal beating of a chareidi man in Beit Shemesh, which is now under investigation by the Justice Ministry Police Investigations Unit.

Eichler cited police often use unjustified violence against chareidim, pointing out in the above case, the man in Beit Shemesh, he was simply talking on his mobile phone, questioning the justification of the policeman’s actions following the stop as seen in the video, the beating of the man and knocking him to the ground while calling for backup.
He commented on the actions of police at protests and the fact that in a democracy one may express one’s opinion but police often feel this is not the case. He decried the use of brutality in response to civil disobedience, questioning the need of force at protests, which has become the norm for Israel Police

THE DAY IS GETTING NEARER WHEN THE RELIGIOUS AND NOT RELIGIOUS IN ISRAEL WILL HAVE NO TOLERATION FOR EACH OTHER AND THAT WILL BE THE DAY THAT THE INTIFADA WILL WIN THE UPPER HAND.

THE GOVERNMENT OF ISRAEL HAS TO RECOGNISE THAT THE IDEAL OF THE FATHERS OF ZIONISM TO HAVE A COUNTRY WITH OUT TORAH IS DEAD AND NOT MATERIALIZING,AND THEY HAVE TO CHANGE THERE WAYS OF THINKING.
