work out well with them. Get the court protocols. The file
number is 108/98, registered at the Jerusalem regional
court."
The file number was right on the money.
The next evening, the man returned. "The trial continued in
the summer of '99. In that session, Eskin reiterated his
Shabak ties."
This information also checked out. Dov has submitted an
appeal to rehear my trial based on relevant new evidence.
The protocols of both sessions have been requested from
the court. Knowing Israel's justice system as I am learning it
now, I assume they will arrive tampered with, and the
damning testimony will be removed.
Still, it was fair try.
BEN GVIR SUES ME
On Dec. 6, I received a phone call from the newspaper Kol
Ha'ir asking my reaction to Itamar Ben Gvir's suit against me
for 140,000 shekels. It was the first I had heard of it, so I
stumbled through my reaction. I was better prepared for the
next reporter who called, from Yerushalayim Magazine.
I have claimed that Ben Gvir's actions serve the purposes of
the state and its security apparatus far better than that of
legitimate anti-government protesters. In fact, Ben Gvir and
his ilk have destroyed legitimate protest in a number of ways,
including:
- Through their atrocious actions, the public associates any
anti-government protest with irrational radicalism.
- In fact, to the broad public, one who protests on behalf of
any anti-government cause is an advocate of murder and the
transfer of Arabs elsewhere.
