Rightists arrested outside officer's home

Seven protestors, including extreme right-wing activist Noam Federman, detained for questioning while demonstrating opposite Tel Aviv home of Judea and Samaria Division commander

Extreme right-wing activist Noam Federman and six other protestors were detained for questioning by the police Saturday night on suspicion of causing a disturbance outside the home of Judea and Samaria Division Commander Brigadier-General Noam Tibon in north Tel Aviv.

 

The rightists arrived at the house as they had done last week. At a certain stage, they began rioting and clashing with Tibon's neighbors.

 

Police officers were dispatched to the area and detained seven protestors for questioning. Three of them – Federman and two others – were released on bail and ordered to stay away from the house. Four young girls who refused to cooperate were to be brought before a Juvenile Court judge later Sunday.

 

Federman told Ynet in response, "Noam Tibon is a human monster. A person who was defined by a District Court judge as one of the people of Sodom who abused Lot and his family members, and who the court ruled was responsible for violating international treaties by harming children.

 

"We shall continue to harass him as he harassed us," he added.

 

About a week ago, Federman's wife Elisheva was taken in for questioning while demonstrating outside Tibon's home. At the same time, Ayala Ben-Gvir, the wife of extreme rightist Itamar Ben-Gvir, was held for questioning along with four other women near the home of Central Command chief Major-General Gadi Shamni in Modiin.

 

Demonstrations were also held opposite the houses of Deputy State Prosecutor Shai Nitzan and the head of the Shin Bet's Jewish Department.

 

According to the activists, the purpose of the protest was to illustrate to "the leaders of the expulsion and harassment in Hebron" that "they are not immune" and that their homes could be reached as well.
