Is Ben so important? perhaps not, but his views and actions are.<\/p>\n

On Saturday 7\/6\/08 Yael and Zohar, a young Israeli woman and a young Israeli man, were savagely attacked by a group of 5-6 young men in Tel Aviv, after attending a demonstration to mark 41 years of occupation. Zohar is a Yesh Gvul activist, and the attackers had cursed him during the demonstration, after seeing him distributing Yesh Gvul leaflets about war crimes. Zohar had to be taken to a hospital after the attack. The attackers are still at large. To those concerned, Zohar is now back to his life of studying, work, and activism.<\/p>\n

After the incident was reported, Ben Frenkel, a law student (and a lawyer one day?) sent Zohar the following email:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>“I just want you to know that I and many of my friends, encourage the attackers, it’s so good that there people who care!<\/p>\n

And no, I am not a settler, I am not religious, I am completely secular, from the centre of Israel, and I am just thrilled about this [attack]”<\/p>\n
