Young Jewish Woman Fears for Her Life: "Ramallah Resident Threatened to Beat and Kidnap Me"

A 20-year-old resident of Rehovot, the daughter of a well-known actor, filed a complaint last night (Tuesday) at the Rehovot police station against a minority resident of the territories she was in contact with.

According to her, the minority resident, whom she met during her work, threatened her life. "He knows where I live and threatened several times to beat me and kidnap me to Ramallah," she said in fear, adding she experienced violence from him. "We were in some kind of relationship," she described. "He got my phone number from one of the workers at my job and started talking to me. Initially, I didn't want to, but then we had hour-long conversations, and I would sleep at his place. One night I slept there, he raised his hand and hit me. This happened early last Sunday. I was asleep, he had an alarm clock, I woke him up, and he slapped me. He knows where I live, and I went to file a police complaint yesterday because I'm afraid he'll do something to me.

"Our relationship lasted a month. Since last Sunday, we spoke a little on the phone, and that was it. I forgave him for that, but then I realized I shouldn’t have forgiven him. He chased after me; I left, and he threatened me that if I spoke out, he wouldn't talk to me, and bad things would happen," the young woman added.

At the end of the hearing, the young woman received a protection order, and next week he will be required to appear in court to address her claims against him.

The online community did not remain indifferent upon hearing about the case, and commented: "'But he was nice at first,' she will probably say, like all those who fall into these hard places. Understand, naivety, it's all a game."

Another user wrote: "I will never understand. Aren't there enough good Jewish boys? Why look in foreign fields? What does a Jewish girl have to do with Ramallah? Probably not watching the news. All the attacks happening, may Hashem have mercy on His people Israel. Holy Israelite daughters, why go to Shechem son of Hamor? I still cry today over a case I personally know. Why, why, why?"

Another user commented on the fact that the girl slept in Ramallah: "'I slept at his place.' What a disgrace, what a shame. Israelite daughter, where have we come to?" Another responded: "Jewish girls, have mercy on us, stop putting us in troubles that generations of murderers pay for. We don't have the strength. Stop going with them."
