An unnamed Palestinian man who collaborated with Israel and now fears for his life is receiving assistance from far-right activist Baruch Marzel. According to the Israeli news website NRG, the Palestinian man had cooperated with Israeli security services and had subsequently been declared a wanted man in the Palestinian Authority-controlled areas. He now fears retribution if he is forced to return to the Palestinian Authority.
After the state denied the man an Israeli identity card and decided to return him to Palestinian territory, Marzel met him at a checkpoint near the city of Modi’in and offered him his assistance.
“It is a commandment to help and protect he who helps the Jewish people,” the report quoted Marzel as saying. “I don’t hate Arabs. I love Jews and I love anyone who is on our side. It’s only those who hate us, and terrorists, whose heads need to be broken — if not more.
“To an Arab who loves us I’m prepared to give my soul. Those who cooperate with Israel, and members of the [former] South Lebanon Army, will always merit my assistance.”
Marzel also said that the Palestinian man would be given leave to sleep and eat as a guest of a Jewish community in the coming days. His options would be evaluated but, according to Marzel, he would ultimately likely be forced to leave the country.
Marzel was quoted as saying that members of the Shin Bet intelligence service needed to “grow up.”
“We are not in preschool,” he said. “This man is in mortal danger and helping him would have been the right thing to do.”
The Palestinian said he wanted Israel to acknowledge the help that he had provided, adding, “I just want a place to lay my head where I don’t have to fear for my life.”
