Israeli Official Incitement: November 2022

I. Against the Palestinian People

 Avi Dichter – Member of Knesset for the Likud party (Facebook, 4 November 2022)

“In the equation of the Islamic Jihad, if Israel terminates terrorists in Judea and Samaria^[1], they are allowed to shoot rockets from Gaza. This is how it is when you do not strengthen deterrence – when faced with the Jihad in Gaza. We will fix this also (…).”

Orit Malka Strock – Member of Knesset for the Religious Zionism party (Twitter, 8 November 2022)

“As expected, the ministers from the left, on their way out of the government, are putting in every effort to prove to the public how right its vote was in the ballot boxes.^[2]  Administrative arrest^[3]  is one of the most draconian measures^[4], in a reality where the field is filled with Arab stone throwers, which no one even attempts to catch, and with weapons that shoot at us daily (…)”

Miri Regev – Member of the Knesset for the Likud party (Twitter, 11 November 2022)

“(…) No vote^[5] will change the simple reality: The land of Israel belongs to the people of Israel. Legally. The Parasha “Vayeira” ^[6] exposes the roots of the Israeli – “Palestinian” conflict. The big lie of the violent Palestinian impersonation as heirs to the land of our forefathers.”

Itamar Ben Gvir – Member of Knesset for the Otzma Yehudit party (Facebook, 15 November 2022)

“(…) we must pass the law for the death penalty to terrorists^[7] that will end terrorism. Only an iron fist will stop the terrorists."

Almog Cohen – Member of the Knesset for the Otzma Yehudit party (Twitter, 23 November 2022)

“A security prisoner^[8] is supposed to suffer! Period. A security prisoner must be punished. A security prisoner is not supposed to invite ^[9] female prison guards by demand. A security prisoner is not supposed to eat red meat. And most definitely should not be allowed to watch ^[10] the world cup in his cell. Some of the things I said to Almez Mengistu ^[11]on News 12 today.”

Almog Cohen – Member of the Knesset for the Otzma Yehudit party (Facebook, 23 November 2022)

“We want as many dead terrorists^[12] as possible. It’s the most moral thing to do.”

Tvika Foghel – Member of Knesset for the Otzma Yehudit party (Twitter, 23 November 2022)

“Deterrence will not be accomplished with moderate means. We have great force. It must be used. Nablus, Ramallah, Gaza, and Jenin must now feel it until the white flags are raised^[13] (…).”

Ad Kan ^[14] (Twitter, 17 November 2022)

“We bring ^[15] the truth to the light regarding “human rights” organizations. We demand the government to stop the destructive mechanism between the organizations of delegitimization^[16] and Hamas (…)”

Bezalel Smotrich – Member of Knesset for the Religious Zionism party (Twitter, 23 November 2022)

“Murderous Arab terrorism is knocking on our door, we must establish a national government immediately!  I call upon the intended Prime Minister Netanyahu to assemble the heads of parties to reach agreements and immediately establish a right-wing government that will make real change and return the security to the citizens of Israel.”

Gilad Erdan – Israel’s Ambassador to the UN, retweeted an article published by JNS on 30 November 2022, in which it quoted Erdan during the opening of  an exhibition in New York highlighting the expulsion of Jews from Arab countries.

“A day after the decision^[17], Jews were violently and cruelly expelled from Arab countries and Iran. This year, after a long struggle, we managed to place an exhibition with photos that document the story of the real Nakba. I will continue to fight for the truth and against the false narrative that the Palestinians and their supporters spread.”

II. Against the Palestinian Citizens of Israel

Almog Cohen – Member of Knesset for Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Might) party (Facebook, 17 November 2022)

“Following a publication of the organization “Btsalmo^[18]” that next Sunday there will be an event in the Culture center in Haifa, where terrorist supporter Lubna Zoabi ^[19] will appear, who publicly supported terrorists (…)^[20] I just sent an urgent letter to the Minister of Culture, Chili Tropper, and Haifa Mayor, Einat Kalisch- Rotem, to immediately cancel the event and not allow the use of public funds to fund terrorism supporters (…)”

Itamar Ben Gvir – Member of Kennest for the Otzma Yehudit party (Twitter, 7 November 2022)

“It is time! May we only hear of such news, and may they not return here.” ^[21]

Avigdor Lieberman – Minister of Finance, Member of Knesset for the Yisrael Beitenu party (Facebook, 30 November 2022)

“We will not allow the dishonor of IDF^[22] soldiers. I have directed the professional team in the Ministry of Finance to work on revoking the budget given to Al-Saraya theatre in Jaffa, which chose to screen the Jordanian movie “Farha^[23]” – an inciting film filled with lies against IDF soldiers.  I find it crazy that Netflix chose to upload a movie that’s sole purpose is to present a false image that incites against IDF soldiers, but the choice of a culture institute^[24] funded by the state of Israel to screen this movie is an unacceptable decision that requires all possible steps, including withdrawing budgets from that institute to prevent maybe to the screening of the horrible film or similar films in the future (…).”

Shlomo Karhi – Member of Knesset for the Likud party (Twitter, 28 November 2022)

“I was ashamed to see the images of the terrorist outside the courthouse. These images cannot be ignored. Punishment must be severe to return deterrence and security to the state of Israel. And Aida^[25]? Terrorism supporters should not even be in the Knesset (…).”

Itamar Ben Gvir- Member of Knesset for Otzma Yehudit party (Twitter, 28 November 2022)

“This terrorist is called Adham Bashir, a resident of Acre who committed a lynching in Mor Jenashvili during the Guardian of the Wall operation^[26]. The judge noted that "the accused repented and apologized" and sentenced him to only 10 years in prison, instead of life imprisonment (…) we must make a change in the justice system! It is a must!!!”

Miri Regev – Member of Knesset for the Likud party (Twitter, 28 November 2022)

“This is how they celebrate in our education system. Waving Palestinian flags^[27] in the Tel Aviv University, which is funded with public funds. This is what happens when the Minister of Education gives up bible lessons. When the departing government relinquishes our Jewish identity, when you grovel to terrorism supporters.^[28]
