Staying
At A Dead Sea Kibbutz

Other
Settlers Don't See The Crime
According to the indictment, the two white teenage girls met the
suspects - Ron Rodeti, 22, Ben Evar, 21, and Dan Lahav, 22 - at the
kibbutz pub. It is alleged the Jewish men laced the drinks with a
date rape drug. The two girls went back to Lahav's apartment, where
they were given more alcohol.
There, Lahav allegedly tried to kiss one of the girls, and
when she refused, the indictment says, he removed her clothes and
raped her.
