I. Against the Palestinian People

“The anarchy on the street of Judea and Samaria[1] must stop! A situation in which armed terrorists are traveling freely on our streets, to the location of the attack and back, clearly knowing that their chances of encountering a checkpoint or an IDF[2] search are 0 – This situation is unreasonable, immoral, and intolerable. As a government minister, I am ashamed of this anarchy.”

“Ramadan is over – the excuses are over. There is no reason for tolerance now. It is time to strike those who hurt us powerfully.”

“Siege”? Open google maps – Gaza has a 14 KM border with Egypt. “Occupation”? Did you forget the evection of the settlers in Gosh Katif[5]? You are confused.”

“3 Weeks after the complaint I filed against the Mufti of Jerusalem, Ekrima Sabri[6], and the Israeli police summoned him for questioning. This is one of the biggest inciters in Israel, a person who speaks in front of thousands of believers almost every week, praises terrorists (…) This man needs to sit in jail for as long as possible.”

“Operation “Shield and Arrow”[7] brings back deterrence and also justice. A precise, calculated, responsible operation that makes it clear to our enemies who are trying to hurt us – your blood is on your hands. Even within the terrible reality created after the escape from Gaza in Oslo, and later in the Disengagement plan[8], a reality where there is no real solution for the terrorism that previous mistaken governments single-handedly created. Even in this difficult reality, we need to act responsibly and professionally. And most importantly, we need to remember and know not to repeat these past terrible mistakes (…).”

Gilad Erdan, Permanent Representative of Israel to the United Nations (Twitter, 14 May 2023)

“As part of our campaign to boycott the events of the Palestinians’ “Nakba Day”[9] tomorrow in the UN, I sent a letter to the UN states’ Ambassadors and asked not to attend an event that depicts the establishment of Israel as a disaster. We have succeeded in convincing a significant number of states to boycott this despicable event, and I continue to act to convince more states.”

“(…) The vast majority of attacks in the past year have come from the north of Samaria. Almost half of those killed in the entire country – from attacks from the north of Samaria. X territory that is developing into a monster. We must, must, must launch an operation against the terrorism cells there.”

Almog Cohen, Member of Knesset for the Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) party (Facebook, 31 May 2023)

“This morning, I arrived at Maasiyahu Prison[10] to call against the possible release of the despicable terrorist, Walid Dakka[11]. I am happy that the committee eventually determined that it is not in their authority to release him, but the fight is not over (…).”

Tally Gotliv, Member of Knesset for the Likud party (Twitter, 23 May 2023)

“Walid Dakka, the damned, who killed soldier Moshe Tamam, may God avenge him, with torture and brutality, appealed to the parole board for an early release due to humanitarian reasons. The damned terrorist is sentenced to death, sweetened to unlimited life in prison, which the president approved. We cannot provide a despicable terrorist a victory photo! (…)”

“Is this how a “demolished” terrorist’s house looks like?[12]”

Almog Cohen, Member of Knesset for the Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) party (Facebook, 17 May 2023)

“I congratulate the departure of former MK Ayman Odeh[13] from political life. Instead of loyally representing the Arab and Bedouin public in the Negev, which needs employment, security, and health, Ayman Odeh used his power and time again to encourage terrorism, hate, and corruption. I am hopeful that the next representative that replaces him will truly care of the real problems of Israel’s Arabs in general and the Arabs in the Negev and south in particular.”

“Lions’ Gate: Terrorists attacking Jews with rocks.[15] There are injuries. So far, no terrorist was terminated.”
