Killer Of Terrorist Was Beaten Unconscious By Police At Anti-Disengagement Protest

Killer Of Terrorist Was Beaten Unconscious By Police At Anti-Disengagement
Protest
Dr. Aaron Lerner Date: 3 July, 2008

Makor Rishon correspondent Hodaya Karish-Hazony, reports today that "Mem",
the soldier who killed the terrorist yesterday in Jerusalem, had been
severely beaten by police during an anti-disengagement protest that took
place May 2005.

"Mem", who at the time was 17, was beaten unconscious by police as he
photographed - from the sidewalk - a protest in Ramat Gan during which the
road was blocked.

Karish-Hazony suggests that police decided to beat him unconscious even
though he was standing on the sidewalk and not involved in blocking the road
in an attempt to stop him from documenting the event.

"Mem" was detained and released several days later and his file was closed
for "lack of evidence" - a move that left a police record that made it
necessary for him to have to fight the IDF in order to be drafted into an
elite unit.

Yediot Ahronot reports that it took "Mem" two years of arguing with the IDF
before he was ultimately drafted into an elite unit.
