last week three ladies went to the synagogue that Yuli Edelstein attends and put flyers with pictures of the hostages on the seats.  The next day they were arrested, handcuffed and charged.  They were sentenced to five days of house arrest.  Here’s the most neutral article I’ve seen.

I don’t know who called the cops – it wasn’t the synagogue or the people who were there at the time.  But they were summoned.

I am ashamed I didn’t tell you about it – but I was also ashamed it could happen in Israel.  And when Edelstein himself backed the decision, I was mortified.  

But in a time of war I try not to say too many bad things about us.   My friend Pam put the incident in the proper place:
