In Tehillim(Psalm) 123, King David wrote as a prayer and a plea to
the Creator to bless us and redeem us. There is hardly a more
appropriate Psalm for the current plight of Honenu’s clients:
“חננו ה’ חננו כי רב שבענו בוז”
“Favor us, Hashem, favor us, for we are fully sated with contempt.”
Today, Jews are arrested and tried for defending themselves against Arab
terrorists. Demolition of Jewish homes are carried out in a
discriminatory fashion. Jewish nationalists are targeted by a
politicized police and judicial system.
Honenu was established in 2001 by Shmuel Meidad. Honenu in a non
profit legal defense organization providing legal aid to our loyal
citizens, who at times due to the security situation are being
persecuted by government authorities and a court system heavily
influenced and pressured by anti Israel “human rights” groups. These
groups are heavily funded by the European Union and others .
As a resident of Hebron, and an active soldier, Medad personally
experienced the complicated and constricting realities of combat against
a creative and disguised enemy. The strict rules of engagement often
put soldiers deployed on life-saving missions at enormous, even
unnecessary, risk. To counter this lack of integrity for care of Jewish
well-being, Meidad created Honenu to act as a positive and assertive
influence in the political and judicial sectors and to influence and
re-address proper standards of impartiality and fairness.
