When Keystone Cops Get Sinister

Read Joe Settler's report on the deceit of the Israeli Police Dept. Be sure to visit the links in his post.

Arutz 7 has more:

Nadia Matar, co-chair and founder of the nationalist grassroots organization Women in Green, recalls a demonstration she organized 13 years ago protesting the Oslo Accords - and in which she was brutally arrested by then-Deputy Jerusalem District Commander Mickey Levy. Levy accused her of attacking him, but when a film of the event was later produced showing the opposite, the charges against her were abruptly withdrawn.

Matar now asks that State Comptroller Micha Lindenstrauss block the expected appointment of Levy as Israel's new Deputy Police Commander. In a letter to Lindenstrauss, Matar asks that he investigate Levy's past, noting that Levy "faced a disciplinary trial in the Bureau for Investigations Against Policemen for perjury - but was strangely acquitted [despite the film]."

Arutz 7 has the film of Levy "arresting" Matar, even though she was not doing anything illegal.

So Mickey Levy falsely charged Nadia Matar of assault and lied under oath. He certainly should not be promoted.
