More than a week ago, an Arab driver intentionally ran over civilians participating in the Chabad Lag BaOmer procession in Be'er Sheva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The police prosecution unit filed charges against him for drunk driving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the Honenu organization, which represents the victims of the car crash, is demanding that the prosecutor's office transfer the case to it, make the charges in the indictment more severe, and have it heard in the district court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Attorney Haim Bleicher of Mhonenu wrote a letter to the Southern District Attorney's Office, demanding that the indictment filed against the Arab who intentionally ran over civilians participating in the Chabad Lag BaOmer procession in Be'er Sheva be made more severe. The driver was arrested after the runover and was found to be drunk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The police prosecution unit filed charges against him for drunk driving and traffic violations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In his letter, Attorney Bleicher emphasizes that the runover was intentional and that it should be examined whether the incident was nationalistic in nature: "This is an extremely serious incident. A deliberate runover of a vehicle that knowingly drove into a large crowd of people. It has now been reported in the media that the police prosecution has filed an indictment against the suspect for drunk driving and traffic offenses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\""This is an incident that was directed at a Jewish march for Lag BaOmer. This connection cannot be separated from the driver's wild and dangerous behavior, even if he was under the influence of alcohol. In the circumstances, this is at least an offense of intentionally endangering human life on a transportation route, the penalty for which is set forth in the law is 20 years in prison.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\""Given the seriousness of the offenses, the serious harm to the general public, and the religious nature of the event, it is in the public interest that the case be managed and handled by the Attorney General's Office and not by the Police Prosecution Unit. Leaving the case in the hands of the Police Prosecution and handling it in a Magistrate's Court rather than a District Court leaves the impression of disregard for the intensity and seriousness of the event.". <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\""The feelings of my clients and those around them are extremely difficult. Following this, we will ask to re-examine the possibility of charging the suspect with racially motivated offenses, since even though the driver was drunk, there is still basic responsibility and awareness for his actions. Even drunk drivers do not intentionally drive into a crowd of people, and it is clear to any reasonable person that the behavior of that drunk driver was committed in connection and in the context of the fact that the march was a Jewish religious event.". <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\""I would like to ask that you transfer the case to your unit, and that the defendant be brought to justice to the fullest extent, in a manner that will be reflected in both the charges and the punishment.".<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u05dc\u05e4\u05e0\u05d9 \u05d9\u05d5\u05ea\u05e8 \u05de\u05e9\u05d1\u05d5\u05e2 \u05d3\u05e8\u05e1 \u05e0\u05d4\u05d2 \u05e2\u05e8\u05d1\u05d9 \u05d1\u05de\u05db\u05d5\u05d5\u05df \u05d0\u05d6\u05e8\u05d7\u05d9\u05dd \u05e9\u05d4\u05e9\u05ea\u05ea\u05e4\u05d5 \u05d1\u05ea\u05d4\u05dc\u05d5\u05db\u05ea \u05dc\"\u05d2 \u05d1\u05e2\u05d5\u05de\u05e8 \u05e9\u05dc \u05d7\u05d1\"\u05d3 \u05d1\u05d1\u05d0\u05e8 \u05e9\u05d1\u05e2. \u05d9\u05d7\u05d9\u05d3\u05ea \u05d4\u05ea\u05d1\u05d9\u05e2\u05d5\u05ea \u05e9\u05dc \u05d4\u05de\u05e9\u05d8\u05e8\u05d4 \u05d4\u05d2\u05d9\u05e9\u05d4 \u05e0\u05d2\u05d3\u05d5 \u05db\u05ea\u05d1 \u05d0\u05d9\u05e9\u05d5\u05dd \u05e2\u05dc \u05e0\u05d4\u05d9\u05d2\u05d4 \u05d1\u05e9\u05db\u05e8\u05d5\u05ea. \u05d0\u05dc\u05d0 \u05e9\u05d0\u05e8\u05d2\u05d5\u05df \u05d7\u05d5\u05e0\u05e0\u05d5, \u05d4\u05de\u05d9\u05d9\u05e6\u05d2 \u05d0\u05ea \u05e4\u05e6\u05d5\u05e2\u05d9 \u05d4\u05d3\u05e8\u05d9\u05e1\u05d4, \u05d3\u05d5\u05e8\u05e9 \u05de\u05d4\u05e4\u05e8\u05e7\u05dc\u05d9\u05d8\u05d5\u05ea \u05dc\u05d4\u05e2\u05d1\u05d9\u05e8 \u05d0\u05dc\u05d9\u05d4 \u05d0\u05ea \u05e0\u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05dc \u05d4\u05ea\u05d9\u05e7, \u05dc\u05d4\u05d7\u05de\u05d9\u05e8 \u05d0\u05ea \u05d4\u05e1\u05e2\u05d9\u05e4\u05d9\u05dd \u05d1\u05db\u05ea\u05d1 \u05d4\u05d0\u05d9\u05e9\u05d5\u05dd \u05d5\u05dc\u05d3\u05d5\u05df \u05d1\u05d5 \u05d1\u05d1\u05d9\u05ea \u05d4\u05de\u05e9\u05e4\u05d8 \u05d4\u05de\u05d7\u05d5\u05d6\u05d9. \u05e2\u05d5\"\u05d3 \u05d7\u05d9\u05d9\u05dd \u05d1\u05dc\u05d9\u05d9\u05db\u05e8 \u05de\u05d7\u05d5\u05e0\u05e0\u05d5, […]","protected":false},"author":47,"featured_media":1051077,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1051395","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-24"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
