Press Announcement

Tadmit wrote to the Chief Military Prosecutor's Office on Thursday afternoon
regarding the remarks of IDF Radio sports reporter Ariel Chamish.

In the wake of Tadmit's application, the posting of the IDF Radio
broadcaster in the NIF facebook, where he wrote "they murder because you
build" was removed.

Attorney Hila Cohen of the Legal Forum for the Land of Israel has applied to
the Chief Military Prosecutor requesting that the soldier be prosecuted for
violating the Staff Orders that prohibit "public expressions on military
and state matters without the authorization of the COS, head of the IDF
Personnel Directorate or IDF Spokesperson."

The letter also say he should be prosecuted for "violating the prohibition
on supporting terror organizations in accordance with Section 4B and 4C of
the Order to Prevent Terror, 1948, as well as violation of Incitement for
Violence or Terror in accordance with Section 144D2 of the Criminal Law
1977. Likewise it is possible that his comments even fit the legal
definition of sedition."

To see the remarks of Chamish:

"You don't build because they murder, they murder because you build.
Continue to build and they will continue to murder you. Just don't come
afterwards with claims that the underdog occupied people that have no
possibility to have human rights are trying to fight you in its
territory..."
