“These people call themselves yeshiva students?” Ben Abu’s father, Albert, told Channel 13 news on Tuesday, adding that the mob was motivated by ignorance.
Ben Abu and his family said his son was not part of the mob and had been trying to calm the situation.
“He just ran into a terrible situation and paid for it with his life. He only wanted to help, he wasn’t connected to anything going on. He really never wanted to do a bad thing to anyone,” Itamar Ben Abu’s sister said.
When the army comes looking to draft them, they shout "We stay and learn in our yeshivos!" Perhaps the law should be simple - if you're out on the street, off to the army you go!
