Appeal to the Commissioner: The use of olive groves and those who skim at houses is forbidden

Residents in ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods and localities where riots took place this week demanded that the police use means to disperse demonstrations, against residents who are not connected to them and even towards the houses in the area.

"Disruptions do not justify unrestrained use of force," they explained.

"This conduct constitutes collective punishment"

In the video: Use of olive oil and skunk liquid in ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods directly to homes and without need (Editing: Tal Reznik)

Many residents in Bnei Brak and other ultra-Orthodox localities and neighborhoods have complained in recent weeks about the widespread and disproportionate use of olive oil and skunk liquid, sometimes directly into residents' homes. The Association for Civil Rights and the Committee Against Torture sent a letter to Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai today (Thursday). Demanding a ban on the use of skirts in residential neighborhoods, making sure that no olive grove is used near infants, children, passers-by and pregnant women, and banning spraying on houses, stairwells, windows, synagogues and other enclosed spaces.

The two organizations also demanded a police investigation into the spraying of the skunk water, as documented in videos from recent days.

From the testimonies and documents obtained by the association and the committee, it appears that the olive grove sprays skunk water on the windows of citizens' homes, which are not at all related to disturbances that have occurred in recent days.

Skimmer water is formed from an aqueous solution of yeast and baking soda, which creates pH conditions. A spicy that stays on clothes and surfaces for a long time.

"In practice, this conduct constitutes collective punishment against an entire population, without distinction between rioters and passers-by, between adults and children and between a demonstration in an open area and homes," the organization said.

"In light of this, the use of these measures for the purpose of punishment should be stopped immediately, the incidents used in violation of procedures should be investigated and it should be ensured that they are used proportionately and in accordance with procedures."

In a letter sent to the police chief, said organizations that "there is no doubt that the police deal with serious disturbances, but these events can not justify unrestrained use of force and injury to many people regardless of their involvement in the events."

ACRI also detailed cases in which innocent people were injured From the olive grove.

"A report was received of damage and damage to goods in a vegetable store located at the corner of Ezekiel and David streets at the entrance to the Bukharan market, while causing extensive damage to goods there."

In another case, a woman walking down the street with a baby stroller was injured.

"I went to Geula on Sunday afternoon with a baby in the direction of the pharmacy on Amos Street. I saw from a distance an olive grove, which sprayed a skunk who was hundreds of meters away.

I started running and almost slipped because everything was wet.

I got wet from the skunk water and it was on the baby too.

He started screaming in pain, I saw that all his face was red and burning in his eyes, "the woman said.

She added that" I could not even turn to him because I was all wet and stinking and I ran home.

At home I stripped him of his clothes, washed his face and he was still suffering and crying and full of burns.

The water also penetrated the feet through clothes.

I put aloe vera on him for burns and took baths and he still did not get well. "

Reut Shaar, director of public relations at the Association for Civil Rights, said in a conversation with Walla! NEWS that" the police use excessive, unjustified and far-reaching means to disperse demonstrations against civilians, most even They are not participating in the demonstrations. "

She added that "unfortunately, because the events take place in the ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods, the events receive almost no coverage from the perspective of the ultra-Orthodox community, and the feeling is that there is a free hand to harm citizens without criticism and without restraint."

"As is well known, the neighborhoods are very crowded, full of families and children and other sensitive populations, and in them, skunk and olive groves are used wildly, sometimes solely as a means of punishment," Shaar clarified.

"No demonstration or disorder can justify the use of means to disperse demonstrations as a means of collective punishment."

According to her, "there is in fact discriminatory and violent conduct by the police, which causes suffering and frustration, exacerbates mistrust and fuels the cycle of violence."

Police: "This is a measure that does not pose a danger to humans"

The Israel Police said that "recently, police officers working in the area repeatedly encounter law enforcement and corona regulations with hundreds of lawbreakers and rioters throwing various objects, stones, garbage bags at them, also from the streets and their balconies. During these activities, the police have to use Arrange on the spot and stop the lawbreakers and violators. "

The police also said that their forces use a variety of means to disperse riots according to rank, and that the skunk means is a means that is found to be effective in dispelling riots. "Its use is made only after it has been tested and approved by the professional bodies and approved for use against rioters and rioters," they clarified.

"This is a measure that does not pose any danger to humans and the environment, with the aim of using it to minimize the use of other means, and to minimize the friction between police forces and rioters that has a higher potential for harm when dispersing riots," the police clarified. "The use of skunk comes only after other attempts to disperse the disturbance and is intended to maintain law and order and stop roadblocks and violent riots."
