My outspoken views about communism in Israel and Israel s ties with communist countries were
bringing increased harassment upon me by Israeli government agencies. It wore heavily on my
nerves which in turn affected my entire physical condition. Many times I would be bed ridden for
extended periods of time. To make matters worse, no Israeli doctor would treat me properly.
In August of 1975, an intense effort to silence me began. One day after work, I was asked to come
into the office of the security guard company for which I was working. I was accused of making 6400
lirot worth of telephone calls to the U.S. 6400 lirot equaled $800 at that time.
I asked how they determined I had made a telephone calls let alone $800 worth. After all, I pointed
out to them, there were 30 other people who had as much, if not more, access to the office phone
than I did.
The company accountant took me to the "Peugeot" auto company the company I was assigned to
for security guard duty. It was here that the telephone calls were supposed to have been made.
I voiced my objection to the company boss saying, "Why accuse me of making calls? There were 30
other people who could have made calls to the U.S. if there were any calls made."
He ignored my objection and told me to sign a piece of paper admitting I had made the calls. I
refused. He advised, "You better sign it. We don't want you to have an 'accident' on the company's
premises.
When he said that, I recalled there were two husky "goons" at the foot of the stairs when we came
in. But, I wasn't about to sign anything admitting to something I didn't do, so I again refused and
started to leave.
He pushed a button on the intercom and muttered something. Immediately, the two "goons" started
up the stairs. Seeing them, I turned and walked back into the office. The boss then said to the two
goons, "Never mind."
Faced with the alternatives of signing the paper or getting beaten up and maybe crippled, I signed
the paper. Then, the boss said, "OK, you can pay the 6400 lirot now."
I said, "I don't have it." And then in fear, I offered to pay 100 lirot a month.
"I want it now," he growled, "With inflation as bad as it is, it will be worth nothing by the time you
get it paid."
I told him that I couldn't that I didn't have the money. He informed me that if I didn't pay, he'd file
criminal and civil charges against me.
I tried to impress him there was nothing I could do since I didn't have the money. Angrily, he told me
to "get out of here."

After leaving the Peugeot office, the security guard company accountant said I was lucky, that the
two men at the foot of the stairs were ex convicts and would have "busted me up good."
I received two threatening letters shortly after warning that they would bring criminal and civil
charges against me if I didn't "pay up."
I contacted Social Welfare to try and get legal advice; but since I had signed the paper admitting I had
made the telephone calls, they said there was nothing they could do even though I had signed
"under duress."
Several months later I received a summons to appear at the Ramat Gan police station, I was sick
from lack of medical treatment, but I got out of bed any way and went to the station.
They fingerprinted me, interrogated me and again forced me to sign a confession under threat of
physical violence. No formal charges were made at that time and I was told to "get the hell out."
Five months later, November 1976, a preliminary hearing of my case was held. I was too sick to
attend so an attorney represented me. My trial was set for February, 1977.
My wife urged me to go to trial, saying I would probably only be sentenced to a few months in prison
and could learn a trade during this time. But like most Arab women and Arab Jewesses, she had led a
sheltered life and was not aware of the extent of Zionist/communist atrocities against anyone who
crosses their path.
Since I had spoken out against racism and communism in Israel and had written letters about these
conditions to people back in the United States, I knew my time in prison would be no picnic. Israeli
prisons are notorious for torture of Arabs and anti communist Jews. Various sources report that
methods of torture in Israeli prisons include:
* Prisoners are forced to stand for long periods of time, sometimes for a week or more
in order to exhaust them.
* Prisoners are refused toilet privileges to the point that prisoners are forced to urinate on
themselves.
* Prisoners have thick bags put over their heads and their arms are tied behind their backs
with handcuffs which are especially designed so that any attempted movement increases the
pressure on their wrists.
* Prisoners have their stomachs stomped on and are repeatedly kicked like animals.
* Prisoners' testicles are squashed and they are beaten upon their genitals.
* Prisoners' hair are pulled; their heads beaten against the wall; and they are left hanging
heads down.
* A stick is pushed up the anus of a prisoner.
* Cigarette butts are put out on a prisoner's bare skin.

* Relatives are brought in and subjected to abuse and even threatened with rape in front of
prisoners.
* Ball point pens are forced into the penis of prisoners.
* Prisoners are kept in cells 28 inches wide by 6 feet long for weeks at a time.

THE DISAPPEARANCE OF DR. LEVY
As in other communist countries, human rights are virtually non existent in Israel. Besides false
imprisonment and torture, Jews who speak out against Israel, and Arabs for any little reason, are
known to simply disappear. This happened to a friend of mine, Dr. Eliahu Clement Levy, whom I met
in September of 1973.
Dr. Levy was an Egyptian Jew, born of Russian (Ashkenazic) parents. He was raised in Egypt and
served as an intelligence officer in the British Army during World War II.
After migrating to Israel, Dr. Levy became a professor of Languages. His condemnation of Israel's war
crimes, Israel's racism, and Israel's close ties to Soviet Russia, Rumania, Cuba, Red China and other
communist countries led to his dismissal.
Unable to secure a decent job in Israel, he was forced to become a security guard. Since we were
both working as security guards, and since we were both speaking out against Israel's policies, we be
came good friends.
One day, a worried Dr. Levy informed me he had to go into the hospital for medical treatment. I
asked which hospital. He turned away and didn't answer.
Two days later, I checked every hospital in the Tel Aviv and Ramat Gan area no Dr. Eliahu Clement
