First of all, I am sorry for your injuries I hope you mend quickly. The people you were trying to remove had no business being there and had no business assaulting law enforcement officers doing their jobs. It is personally embarassing to see such behavior being exhibited by Jews against fellow Jews and their mounts. I regret your injuries profoundly. Police here have hard enough jobs as it is without violence being perpetrated against them by Israeli citizens and troublemakers who did not live in Amona. Best wishes for a speedy recovery for doing your job.

Where did you read (in most of the postings that were critical of the police) a support of violent settlers? Obviously, there were violent settlers who came to Amona to hurt police. However, it was also apparent that many of the protesters weren't violent and they were brutalized by an out-of-control police force. Why is that OK?

Shin Bet Cheif: "If we're talking about discrimination, you would find out that the discrimination leans much more in favor of Jews than Arabs," Diskin said in his talk last month." http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/679514.html

The camera doesn't lie and it showed the police stampeding small children and women. This guy should stop acting like a victim and take responsibility for his actions.

It's just Jewish lives in you little battle. Put on your uniform, get out your weapon, and finish Sharon's work. Then you can brag about how much fun you had. Just like the S.S.....

Please spare me he probably hit his own leg with the Metal baton he was swinging which he was aiming at others and missed - spare me the poor policeman with his broken leg - what about the people with their heads bashed in why is this not headlined ? G-d help us and all hte self hating Jews.

Barbaric Muslim terrorist murderers show no mercy to Jewish children. But Israel's police and IDF don't go to war against the terrorists. Israel's police and IDF go to war against defenseless Jewish children. Police on horseback charged at a gallop into Jewish peaceful protesters. Jews passively sitting down were savagely hit repeatedly in the head with metal batons. This is the U.S. EU, UN/Russia' Road Map peace process in action, to give Jewish Land and holy places to Islamic terrorists. Shlomo Wollins of: http://www.israelreporter.com "I have just been contacted by a medic who has been involved with the treatment of the 200+ wounded child protestors. He said that doctors who have worked in Israel for 20 years are shocked at extent of wounds and numbers of injured. The doctor said that when the IDF raids an arab “terror-den”, that the terrorists wounded in raid are usually less-severe than the majority of the cases with the child-protestors."

THE SELF DESTRUCT DOUBLE STANDARD by Yoram Ettinger, January 20, 2006 Illegal Arab construction has become a norm, led by the Palestinian Authority (many PA officials reside in illegal homes), bankrolled by Saudi petrodollars and observed by the wide-closed eyes of Israel. Illegal construction has become an effective means to challenge Jewish sovereignty over Jerusalem, to undermine major infrastructure and housing projects in the Negev and Galilee, to limit the freedom/security of Jewish movement along major transportation arteries, to facilitate terrorism and to exacerbate crime. While Israel has faced that threat meekishly, it is enforcing the law in an iron-fist manner when it comes to a few scores of Jewish houses throughout Judea & Samaria and Hebron (built on a Jewish-registered property, which was ravaged by Arabs in 1929). Over 1,000 illegal houses are built annually – by Jerusalem Arabs – since 1997. Only 30-40 are demolished by the authorities. About 10,000 illegal houses are built, annually, by "Green Line" Arabs in the Galilee, Negev, "Triangle", Lod and Ramleh. About 100 are demolished. Since 1967, there has been more Arab residential (largely illegal) construction in Jerusalem than Jewish construction in the capital of the Jewish State. But, Israel is enforcing the law in an iron-fist manner when it comes to a few scores of Jewish houses throughout Judea & Samaria and Hebron (built on a Jewish-registered property, which was ravaged by Arabs in 1929). Legal and governance impotence have characterized Israel's battle against illegal Arab construction, which threatens Israel's sovereignty and the rule of law in Jerusalem and all over the country. Palestinian documents, found at the PLO's "Orient House", highlight illegal construction as a key instrument in the campaign to erode the Jewish character of Jerusalem. According to the documents, the Palestinian Authority (PA) has enticed illegal construction in Jerusalem's Arab neighborhoods of Shoafat, Beit Haninah and A-Zaim, in order to prevent continuity between the Jewish neighborhoods of French Hill and Pisgat Ze'ev, and to avert the unification of Jerusalem and Ma'aleh Adoumim. Illegal construction is raging along Highway 443, the critical road from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, with the aim to transform it into an Arab road, threatening the security of Jewish transportation. While a 1999 Palestinian document anticipated that Israel was determined "to demolish 400-500 illegal houses in Beit Haninah and Shoafat", a 2000 document notified the PA that "no need to worry", since Israel would only demolish a few houses, and illegal construction could proceed with full speed ahead. But, Israel is determined to enforce the law in an iron-fist manner when it comes to a few scores of Jewish houses in Hebron and throughout Judea & Samaria. Illegal Arab construction has become a norm, led by the Palestinian Authority (many PA officials reside in illegal homes), bankrolled by Saudi petrodollars and observed by the wide-closed eyes of Israel. Illegal construction has become an effective means to challenge Jewish sovereignty over Jerusalem, to undermine major infrastructure and housing projects in the Negev and Galilee, to limit the freedom/security of Jewish movement along major transportation arteries, to facilitate terrorism and to exacerbate crime. For instance, illegal construction in the Jerusalem Arab neighborhood of Silwan has been a platform for intensified terrorism and felony. Forging real estate titles has proliferated in the Arab sector, robbing state-owned land as well as privately owned Arab land, fueling extortion, protection, gang-wars and the importation of illegal Arab residents from Hebron and other towns to Jerusalem – a fertile ground for terrorism. But, Israel is determined to enforce the law in an iron-fist manner when it comes to scores of Jewish houses in Hebron and throughout Judea & Samaria...

Police Strip Shirt Off Jewish Mother During Protest 17:31 Feb 02, '06 / 4 Shevat 5766 By IsraelNN Staff During a protest at the Shiloh junction north of Amona, a dozen police jumped a mother of nine, delivered strong blows to all parts of her body and then stripped off her shirt in public. The woman, who recently gave birth, told her story to our correspondent on condition of anonymity. She explained that she is ashamed to gain publicity for being stripped in public by the police. Click here to listen to an eyewitness account The incident began when a small group of people, including women and children, began a protest at the police roadblock against the demolition of homes in Amona. One girl crossed the road, and an officer told her to move out of the way. When she talked back to the officer, a policewoman teamed up with the officer, and they pushed her with force to the ground. "At this point," said the mother of nine, "I approached the officers and told them that they were using excessive force for no reason. A friend of mine tried to take a picture of the policewoman's badge, but it was tilted to the side. I extended my hand to straighten her badge, and my friend took the picture." According to the mother, the badge displayed the name: Yana Rosenfeld, #7467875. As per photographer's testimony, this policewoman wore badge "Yana Rosenfeld" "Yana ripped her badge away from me and called out to all the policemen there to arrest me. Within seconds, a dozen officers approached me to arrest me. They grabbed me, pushed me to the ground, and kicked me in my stomach, head, and all parts of my body. Yana kicked me right in my womb. Yana was yelling, 'Hit her hard. Smash her.'" Naomi Shachor, wife of the chief Rabbi of nearby Maaleh Levonah, came over when she saw the policemen trying to arrest a protestor. Naomi says, "We were trying to pull her back towards us. They grabbed her… I saw her on the ground, and they started to pull off her sweater… The ones who did it and pushed her were men... It was a very terrible and shocking moment for me. I am still trying to get myself together from it." The assaulted mother identified this policeman as one of the attackers The assaulted mother continued, "As they assaulted me, they began ripping my shirt. With no shame, several officers deliberately ripped off my shirt, and I was left there exposed. At this point, I started resisting so strongly that they backed off of me a bit, I grabbed my shirt from an officer who was holding it, and fled away in shame."... http://www.israelnationalnews.com/news.php3?id=97820

When you threaten violence and then use it you are not afforded the status of innocent. Everyone that came to demonstrate knew what they were getting into. I have no problem with an investigation. There is plenty of video tape to document what happened. But the support of the violent behavior of the protestors disgusts me. The lies being spread disgust me.

when marching in goose step! Hope you get better so you can spend some more quality time on your horse

Dear Perry Margalit, You headed a pogrom against innocent civilians. I have no sympathy whatsoever. Sit in your house and contemplate what you did. Think of the 344 people your forces injured- think of the kid with the crushed skull, the two kids who lost eyes, the four girls who lost wombs as a result of your riot. And don't give me the "I was only carrying out orders" line- it doesn't justify your crimes. Visit the victims in hospital, and beg them for their forgiveness. You had no business being where you were and doing where you did- you should be ashamed!

Dear officer margalit, Welcome to the "new Middle ages", You're a trained police offuicer in a democraticaly elected government of a modern State. You deserve to be praised for valenty and courage fecing archaic zealots. They are not the Maccabeans and you are not the syrian-greeks.You are an israeli police officer pride of our modern people. Chazak ve'ematz

so sorry you were injured i will get my violin out.get well soon more kids to beat

Margalit, What did you expect to receive there, You went with hatered and violence in mind there, so you will get that. "Democracy is not the government of the politicians and the Police" It is the government of the people.Israel is a country of a FAMILY,not of tyrants. "LOVE THY NEIGHBOURS AS THYSELF".

www.israelnationalnews.com Incidents of Police Violence and Abuse Continue to Surface 17:00 Feb 06, '06 / 8 Shevat 5766 By Hillel Fendel The Yesha leaders brought reports from teenaged girls who said that Yassam (special unit) and Magav (Border Guard) policemen had called them prostitutes, threatened to rape them, and touched their private parts. A 52-year old woman said that when a Yassam policeman took her out of a house in Amona, he placed his hand under her sweater. She slapped him in the face. Other policemen then approached her in a threatening manner, but then left her. Fifteen-year-old Avishag S. of Haifa, who says she is still in pain and now has developed fever, told the following story: "I was in house #6, and the Yassamnikim came in through the window. One of them pulled me up by the ear, while beating me with his club in my stomach. He didn't just hit me; he turned the stick around almost inside me - and then another one kicked me in the back, and then sort of threw me out the window, giving me glass splinters in my leg. That's what they did with all the girls there... "After a few seconds, my stomach began to hurt me terribly, and I just started screaming in pain, all doubled over. An army medic told me I had better go to the clinic, but a Yassamnik didn't let me pass. Only when they brought me a stretcher - because I couldn't walk - did he let me go through. "In the clinic, they didn't know exactly what to do, but they saw that there was a real fear of damage to an internal organ - so they called an ambulance. But throughout this time they couldn't give me any painkiller, and so I was yelling in pain the whole time. Once I was in the hospital (Shaarei Tzedek), they gave me an ultrasound and infusions and everything. That's when they finally told me that I was just a millimeter away from having an internal organ damaged, which would have meant a dangerous operation. I was also very worried that my uterus was affected, but in the end, they reassured me on that as well." "I hope that next time, the whole nation will be there - not to attack, but to defend." http://www.israelnn.com/news.php3?id=98046

I saw what your comrades did to women and children. It's all over the internet. You were violating the civil rights of Jews and they have the right to self defense. You are lucky that you were injured, because you won't have to expel any more Jews from their homes.
