Leftists’ ‘Innocent Arab Farmer’ a Serial Rapist

They will also investigate a subsequent clash in which leftists say they were assaulted by residents and police.

The incident in question took place on Rosh Hashanah, over two weeks ago. Members of the extremist “Sheikh Jarrah Solidarity” group tried to enter the Jewish village of Anatot next to Jerusalem without authorization, in order to bring in Yassin Rafai.

The group claimed that Rafai, an Arab resident of Jerusalem, was a farmer whose lands were stolen from him to create Anatot. However, in truth, Rafai is a serial sex offender who in the past has been sentenced to a total of 17 years in jail for various offenses, including rape.

He has also faced charges for a variety of offenses against Jews in Anatot, including harassment, vandalism, theft, and arson.

Activists blocked the entrance to Anatot in an attempt to force locals to allow Rafai in. A clash broke out. Members of the far-left groups Sheikh Jarrah Solidarity, Taayoush and Yesh Din subsequently accused police of assault, and demanded that the clash be investigated – and that the investigation be conducted by the Justice Department’s Department for Investigating Police, not by police themselves.

On Sunday prosecutors rejected the request, stating that the investigation will remain in police hands.

It didn't happen on American TV, or even Israeli TV, or even You Tube, so they can pretend it didn't happen, make up stories, game the system. Don't let this happen to you. The digital camera is mightier than the lying MSM. Never be at an incident without one. They are compact, versatile, and potentially devastating.
