Opinion | Acre: far from the eye, close to the heart | Israel today

2021-11-17T21:34:19.248Z


Half a year since disturbances in the heart of the country, and the city was forgotten behind, so today it is the task of the Israeli public to show Acre that even though it is far from the eye - it is very close to the heart


Half a year has passed since disturbances in the heart of the country.

Half a year from the Wall Guard, half a year since the inner explosive barrel we are sitting on exploded.

Half a year since Jaffa, Lod, Ramla, Acre and parts of the Negev and Galilee have burned.

The media fell asleep in its role - voluntarily or fearfully - and did not reflect to the public promil from what was there.

This week we saw buds of media awakening.

In the "Real Time" investigation here 11, a film was broadcast about disturbances in Acre.

A stifling film about a stifling reality.

Acre was forgotten behind.

She is too far, physically, from the center of Israeli existence.

Therefore hardly reached communication there during interruptions.

Therefore, almost no volunteers came.

So the lone voice heard from there was hoarse from too many cries for help.

Acre experienced the disturbances in a strong and violent way.

In Acre, the late Avi Har-Even, a hero of Israel, who was killed at the Effendi Hotel in the city, was burned to death.

A few detainees were led by police work in Acre.

Of the dozens of rioters who carried out the lynching of Moore Ganashvili, only three were prosecuted, and only one was charged with attempted murder.

Moore is afraid to return to the streets of Acre.

He is confined to a wheelchair following the lynching and suffers a mental injury that will not pass.

In the lynching of Elad Barzilai, who was walking down the street and was attacked, no one was charged.

Elad was fatally wounded in the head and is in the process of rehabilitation.

No one is accused of murdering the father of Har-Even.

One of the lighters of the Effendi Hotel, where my father was murdered, was recently released under house arrest.

Cheap blood.

The courts abandon the Jewish residents of Acre. They alleviate with the few rioters the police have managed to apprehend, and send them under house arrest with a permit to leave the house in favor of work. House arrest as if. As far as the courts in Israel are concerned, the danger has passed. In Acre, there have been torchlight processions in recent months to support and call for the release of the detainees. They did not plant a stranger, the rioters. They get backing from their community and also from MKs who come to support the demonstrations. Every rioter released by the court is another victory for the torchbearers, another victory for evil and another jarring loss to the State of Israel.

By the way, contrary to the police thesis that most rioters are criminals, the prosecution shows that only one defendant has a criminal record.

It is convenient to ignore the nationalist tension.

The police did not really return to the bubbling streets of Acre.

The police station in the Old City of Acre, which was set on fire during the riots, remained empty.

It has been partially renovated, repainted and has been empty for half a year.

Jews suffer from endless antisemitic harassment, from cursing to physical violence.

They are also afraid to complain.

Juden Reuss.

When there is no state, then there is also no fear among those who have repaid, there is no deterrence.

They upload videos to social networks that leave no room for doubt as to who owns the home.

They declare that Acre will be free of Jews, certainly Jews with religious overtones.

"It hurts me that they continued as usual," said Moore, "as if there was no Moore, no Elad, no Mordechai, no Avi Har-Even who was murdered. The State of Israel continues to mature."

It is the task of the Israeli public to show Acre that even though it is far from the eye, it is very close to the heart.
