Ruling: Beit din excoriates both sides for their actions and accusations. These are unacceptable for cultured people. The gemara (Bava Metzia 58) equates public embarrassment to murder. Both sides should do teshuva, including asking forgiveness from the other side.
On the matter’s legal side, the Shulchan Aruch (CM 421:13) ruled that if Reuven attacked Shimon and in the process, Shimon injured Reuven, Shimon is exempt from payment. The Rama continues that if Reuven attacked Shimon and Shimon called him a mamzer, he is exempt because it is expected that one who is attacked will react strongly, even when he is not permitted to. The Yam Shel Shlomo (cited by the Pitchei Teshuva, ibid. 3) says that while it is forbidden to hit one who called him inflammatory names, he is not considered a rasha. The responding side must not overdo the reaction in comparison to what he suffered.
In this case, both sides attacked their neighbors in a manner that they should be ashamed of, but it has not been proven that one side was the main culprit. Therefore, neither side deserves compensation. Also, most of the mutual claims were denied by the other side. The video sent shows an altercation, but it does not show who started it. As far as what was said in beit din, beit din does not obligate a side for lashon hara said in court, as the sides have license to make harsh claims in advancing their arguments.
The damages mentioned in #s 1-3 were not proven to be attributable to pl, and therefore beit din will not obligate payment for them. Def admitted to damaging the gas alcoves, but def claim that his father built them, not the municipality or pl’s parents; when there were good relations, def did not mind that pl used the alcoves, but now he does. Beit din rules that if pl gets information from the municipality that they provided the alcoves and will not fix them, beit din could possibly rule that def must pay.
