Halutz Contradicts Ezra at Amona Investigation
Contradiction Between Testimonies of Ezra and Halutz
Excerpts;
“Chief of General Staff, Lt.-Gen. Dan Halutz, appeared before the Amona investigative committee on Wednesday. ‘In no way did I understand that the Amona evacuation was similar to the Gaza evacuation,’ he said.”
“‘The Gaza evacuation was an operation conducted against legal settlements, while Amona was about enforcing the law and order against illegal construction. Therefore I see no room to compare the two events at their base level,’ said Halutz.”
“The first contradiction unearthed in the investigation was found between the testimonies of Interior Security Minister Gideon Ezra and Chief of Staff Halutz.”
“Ezra told the committee last week that security forces had to march all night, instead of using vehicles, because of roadblocks imposed by settlers. Halutz, however, said that ‘the initial plan called for a march on foot - altogether they marched over half an hour some two to three kilometers. The march was planned ahead of time,’ said Halutz. But added that ‘there were roadblocks on the way.’”
“Halutz said that he had allowed, in principle, for force to be used if necessary. But only police officers with the rank of Assistant-Commander and higher had the authority to implement the use of clubs against protesters. He said that he banned the use of rubber bullets ahead of time.”

[…] But perhaps, after Gush Katif, the Shalhevet neighborhood in Chevron and the police violence and brutality in Amona (click here and here), chas v’chalila that it would be written in future history that the religious turned the other cheek yet again, instead of tossing the anti-Torah bumbs out on election day — seeing that ALL of the Amona criminals stand trial on earth as well as in Shemayim. All of them from Olmert, to Ezra and Karadi, to Mofaz and Halutz and the perpetrators beneathe them who followed immoral orders deserve to stand trial for crimes against the Jewish people, even if it means doing what we didn’t do last year before the Gush Katif expulsion; following the Ukrainian model and putting a 100,000 Jews in front of Knesset 24/7; not for how it might affect the mindset and actions of an Ehud Olmert or a Peres, Silvan Shalom, Mofaz, Gideon Ezra, etc., but for the rock-solid dedication and unity it would build amongst ourselves, ala Mordechai and Esther and the Jews of the city of Shushan. Last year, the Am Yisrael was too busy fighting and hating each other and were too self-directed to care about the Klal and so 9,000 formerly productive, independent citizens are now destitute, devoid of their property and possessions and dependent upon the chessed of many others, while Kassams rain down upon S’derot and Askelon threatening homes, lives and vital services.
