S., a female combat soldier in the IDF, inspected the bag of an Arab woman and discovered a Coca Cola bottle containing a suspicious liquid. She asked the woman what was in it, and was told: "Water".

A civil action was subsequently brought against him with a demand for NIS 270,000. His lawyer told him to ignore it, but judgment had been given. A. hired another lawyer, and with the aid of the settlement's rabbi reduced the amount he was forced to pay to $2000.

David Sharvit: Aged 35, married with 5 children, a building contractor who employs only Jewish labor, who lives in Har Bracha. About 8 years ago he fired at and wounded an Arab who had thrown stones at him, and was sentenced to 5 years imprisonment. Since that time, he has not been permitted to own a gun. However, because of the security situation he bought a hunting rifle for self defense. He was arrested and sentenced to 2.5 years jail for possessing an illegal weapon. This sentence is out of all proportion to the gravity of the offence, according to any judicial or human criterion.
