Shocking statement • Watch: "Violence of the oppressed; let them use weapons""

November 22, 2021   

Incitement in the Knesset: Leftist Haim Shadmi, the journalist who made headlines when he threatened Yair Netanyahu - with a shocking statement against the Jewish settlers in Judea and Samaria, whom he accused of violence against the Palestinians. During a conference on the subject in the Knesset, Shadmi said: "I don't understand what's going on here. There's a discussion here as if the occupation and the violence of the settlers started in the last two years. I hear MK after MK here telling how much they support. What is this? Is this a Dovrat conference? Where are the solutions? "So if you are not capable, we are your security forces. I want to say, in a very short time, we will organize ourselves, in quotation marks, an 'outpost in the territories'. We will create security for the residents." Shadmi added: "Enough to call it settlers, this is the civilian arm of the occupation. Please, give us the permission to use weapons. We will do the work for the Palestinians." Minister Issawi Freij interrupted Shadmi: "No, no, no. "This is not appropriate." The leftist insisted, clarifying: "No one was harmed, no one was harmed." Freij: "Go back to your roots. In my opinion, you are getting carried away." The Torat Lahima organization responded to Shadmi's serious incitement: "Civil society organizations of the extreme left are seeking to take up arms and join the ranks of Hamas against Jews. It wasn't enough for the sleepwalking left to give orders to the IDF against settlers at the conference of terror supporters in the Knesset, now they are asking for weapons in their hands. This is the face of the coalition of terror supporters against the IDF and the settlements. The place of these instigators, members of Knesset and members of extremist organizations is in prison, not in the Knesset.".
