JERUSALEM (VINnews) — An embarrassing incident took place, in which the Minister in charge of the Israeli police seemed to be unaware of a well-known matter–the recent arrest and alleged beating of a Charedi.

As reported in B’Chadrei Charedim, on Monday, Minister of Public Security Omer Bar Lev was asked by a journalist what he intends to do about the case of Chaim Mizrachi. To the utter shock of those present, Bar Lev responded, “I don’t know what case [you’re referring to.]”

Several minutes later, after apparently speaking with his advisors, Bar Lev recalled Mr. Mizrachi.

He also posted a statement on Twitter, attempting to clarify what happened. “When I was asked now about Chaim Mizrachi, I did not immediately connect the name with the troubling incident that took place several weeks ago. However, in real time when I found out about the incident, the evidence was turned over to the Department of Police Investigations at my instruction, and an investigation was opened in a short time.”

The arrest has created massive upheaval, with police being accused of severe brutality against Mr. Mizrachi, for no apparent reason other than him being Charedi. Mr. Mizrachi was injured so badly, he visited the hospital multiple times, and the Judge reprimanded the arresting detectives and ordered an investigation.

Only in the Zionist paradise. They hate real Judaism because it is a direct contradiction to their Zionist identity-theft of Judaism.

I’m sure the police have more important problems to worry about.

What actually happened in this situation will investigated I’m sure by the police who are trained to deal with these matters in an objective way.

I’m sure the police will also take into account the on-going situation that was happening at the time, i.e. the demonstration there, which was difficult for the police to handle.

The police are there to make sure people behave and deal with those who are dishonest. Integrity is something that we all have to learn.
