Right-wing activist Hanamel Dorfman, a friend of Amiram Ben Uliel, has come out against the charges accusing Ben Uliel of murder in the Arab village of Duma. Dorfman instead insists that Ben Uliel is a quiet and sensitive person who could not have committed the arson and murder.
"He is a quiet and sensitive man, married with children. I don't believe what has been published and I don't believe that he was behind the incident in Duma," Dorfman told Army Radio. "The connection between him and events such as these is as far apart as east and west. If he admits to it, then anyone could admit to things he did not do."
