The rabbi's 18-year-old daughter, Ayala, met the 17-year-old<br />

ultra-Orthodox youngster three months ago through an<br />

Internet chat.<br />

However, the Amar family did not approve of the relationship.<br />

After failed attempts to convince the couple to end their<br />

relationship, the rabbi's son, Meir Amar, contacted two<br />

acquaintances, brothers Ahmed and Abdullah Sawalma from<br />

the Israeli Arab town of Kalansua, and together they planned<br />

the kidnapping.<br />

Reminiscent of 'A Clockwork Orange'<br />

According to police officials, the rabbi‟s daughter coaxed the<br />

youngster into meeting her at a street in the religious town of<br />

Bnei Brak near Tel Aviv, where he was pushed into a car and<br />

kidnapped at knifepoint by the rabbi‟s son.<br />

The officials said the youth was beaten and threatened<br />

during the drive to an apartment in Kalansua.<br />

“When they took him up to the apartment I stayed in the car<br />

the whole time, and did not see what they were doing to<br />

him,” the rabbi‟s daughter said during questioning.<br />

Police suspect the youngster was beaten for four hours, as if<br />

from a “Clockwork Orange" scene, unaware that his<br />

kidnapper was the brother of his girlfriend. The youth was<br />

taken to Jerusalem the following morning where his<br />

kidnappers continued to beat him in the rabbi‟s home.<br />

Meir Amar claimed he wanted to “reeducate” his sister and<br />

her suitor, as the ultra-Orthodox are not permitted to meet<br />

prior to their wedding.<br />
