Israeli Official Incitement: November 2023

I. Against the People of Palestine/Supporting Gaza Genocide

Bezalel Smotrich, Minister of Finance, Chairman of Religious Zionism Party (Twitter, 28 November 2023)

“A reminder to those who have not yet sobered up and think that the Nazis in Judea and Samaria [1] are different than the Nazis in Gaza[2]. We will strengthen the settlement and strike the Nazis everywhere to insure that “Never again”!”

Itamar Ben Gvir, Minister of National Security, Member of Knesset (MK) for Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) Party (Facebook, 29 November 2023)

“Well done to the Yamam forces[3] and the IDF[4] for eliminating the commander of the Jenin brigade, terrorist Muhamad Zubeidi (the son of terrorist Zakaria Zubeidi[5]). Whoever is killed won’t be released in any deal.”

Itamar Ben Gvir, Minister of National Security, MK for Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) Party (Twitter, 26 November 2023)

 “I support the police and border police who acted tonight in Jabal al-Mukaber in East Jerusalem, to prevent the celebration of the terrorists’ release[6] from prison. This is how it must be done – zero tolerance towards terrorism supporters.”

Tally Gotliv, MK for Likud Party (Twitter, 25 November 2023)

“I demand that the cabinet sees the delay in returning the abductees[7] as a clear (and expected) violation of the deal.[8] Now, immediately, bomb with artillery without mercy. Announce a siege and no fuel supply. You played into the hands of the terrorist organization Hamas. If Israel does not take control, we will not bring back the abductees and we will lose the war. I hope I am wrong.”

Shlomo Karhi, MK for Likud Party (Twitter, 25 November)

"Our warriors will return only after cutting off all these damned foreskins."

Danny Danon, MK for Likud party, and Ram Ben Barak, MK for Yesh Atid Party in an Op-ed in Wall Street Journal, 13 November 2023)[9]

“(…)One idea is for countries around the world to accept limited numbers of Gazan families who have expressed a desire to relocate. Europe has a long history of assisting refugees fleeing conflicts (…) Looking to these examples, countries around the world should offer a haven for Gaza residents who seek relocation. Countries can accomplish this by creating well-structured and internationally coordinated relocation programs. Members of the international community can collaborate to provide one-time financial-support packages to Gazans interested in moving to help with relocation costs and to ease refugees’ acclimation to their new communities.

Global organizations with experience settling refugees should facilitate the relocation of Gaza residents who wish to move to countries willing to accept them. We simply need a handful of the world’s nations to share the responsibility of hosting Gazan residents. Even if countries took in as few as 10,000 people each, it would help alleviate the crisis (…)”

Amichai Chikli, Minister for Social Equality (Twitter, 23 November)

“This is not a war between Israel and the Palestinians… It is humanity and the civilized world against savages, against barbarism.”

Limor Son Har-Melech, MK for Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) Party (Twitter, 23 November) [10]

“Full control, which will include a vigorous and vibrant settlement throughout the strip”.

Tally Gotliv, MK for Likud Party (Twitter, 23 November 2023)

“A brave government must announce that there is no deal[11]!! That’s it. There is no second chance for a terrorist organization that is playing with Israel. And from now, bombing without mercy! Full siege on Gaza! Until the Gazans beg we take the abductees and give them water and food supply. That is the language.”

Michal Miriam Woldiger, MK for Religious Zionism Party (Twitter, 21 November 2023)

“As a citizen of the State of Israel, I am praying and hoping for the return of the abductees but every offer must include the release of them all. We cannot continue allowing Sinwar[12] to play with the national resilience and the families’ feelings. Additionally, losing our eyes in Gaza for 6 hours a day[13] – is ordering more of our soldiers’ killing. It’s allowing the Nazis to organize to kill us. How is that included in the offer? (…)”

Yair Lapid, Leader of the opposition, MK for Yesh Atid Party (Twitter, 20 November)

“The majority of the people who were killed were Hamas terrorists. People saying this number 12 thousand people were killed, yes this is the Hamas army of 40 thousand people many of them were killed.[14]”

Tzvika Foghel, MK for Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) Party (Facebook, 20 November 2023)

“Many years ago, the State of Israel determined that the death penaltey exists in Israel[15]. It implemented it once with the Nazi named Eichmann[16]. And I am telling you, every one of the terroists is Eichmann. Every one of them, without exception, must be executed. We cannot hold people[17] in our prisons, to whom killing children and torturing pregnant women are part of the lexicon. We are not supposed to accept these animals, we are supposed to continue growing the monster.”

Nissim Vaturi, MK for the Likud party (Channel 7 Website, 20 November 2023) [18]

“People from the right are being silenced. I said burn Gaza, why should we be ashamed? Who is still there? Are there citizens in Gaza? Yes, burn.

Every day soldiers are falling, all of a sudden, they are bringing in fuel to the Strip. They killed children, why should we accept such a thing? All of a sudden, we become humanitarian and have to take the entire world into consideration? (…)

What is left in Gaza? Tunnels, Hamas, the damned terrorists who killed little children[19], they are holding children captive. We are in a time where the Prime Minister says revenge. It never happened that a Prime Minister said something like that, they have crossed every possible line. I have always said that Hamas were born to kill children and Jews. This must be understood. The tune must change a little bit and understand that the landlord has gone crazy.[20]”

Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister, MK for Likud Party (Israel Hayom , 11 November 2023)

“In regards to discussions of the day after the war, that day will only come after the elimination of Hamas, Gaza is demilitarized, and there is no threat from Gaza to the State of Israel. And in order to ensure that this threat does not exist, for as long as needed, the IDF will maintain security control over Gaza to prevent terrorism from it. The massacre on 7 October proves that anywhere where there is no Israeli security control, terrorism returns and grows, and eventually hurts us. And this was also confirmed in Judea and Samaria, therefore, I will not compromise on the security control in any condition.”

Gila Gamliel, Minister of Intelligence, MK for the Likud party (The Jerusalem Post, 19 November 2023)

“(…) Instead of funneling money to rebuild Gaza or to the failed UNRWA, the international community can assist in the costs of resettlement, helping the people of Gaza build new lives in their new host countries (…)

Gaza has long been thought of as a problem without an answer. We have tried many different solutions – Disengagement, enrichment, conflict management, and building high walls in the hope of keeping the monsters of Hamas out of Israel. These have all failed.

We must try something new, and we call on the international community to help make it a reality. It could be a win-win solution: a win for those civilians of Gaza who seek a better life and a win for Israel after this devastating tragedy (…)”

Boaz Bismuth, MK for the Likud party (Twitter, 19 Novermber 2023)

“Tomorrow, the National Security committee will convene to discuss the “Death penalty for terrorists”[21] bill prior to the first vote in the Knesset plenum. This is the order of the hour! Terrorists who go out to kill our children, our babies, slaughter our women and men, kidnap our grandfathers and grandmothers – sons of death (they deserve to die)”

Oded Forer, MK for Yisrael Beitenu (Israel Our Home) Party (Twitter, 19 November 2023)

“(…) It is time to understand that only humanitarian pressure on the Strip will promote the return of the abductees and breaking Hamas. What else needs to happen for you to understand that the artificial separation you are allowing between the citizens of the Strip and Hamas, as if it is not a state of terrorism, hurts the ability to defeat Hamas and continues the conception you ruled with until the seventh of October?”

Uriel Busso, MK for Shas Party (Twitter, 19 November 2023)

“There is no longer doubt that Shifa hospital is a base for terrorism[22], from which a murderous attack was launched against innocents and where abductees were brought for hiding. In a place trusted with the sanctity of life, Hamas took life. The World Health Organization and its leader can no longer deny this. It is time to act. Establish a medical alternative under international supervision and condemn Hamas.”

Tally Gotliv, MK for Likud Party (Twitter, 19 November 2023)

“According to international law, if a hospital is used a source for a terrorist organization it is a legitimate target. Ask the Americans. But we are more righteous than the Pope… We did not attack. The result – bringing back the abductees? Not at all. Hamas mocking us? Of course. Enough with the unnecessary pity. Bomb without mercy!”

Tally Gotliv, MK for Likud Party (Twitter, 19 November 2023)

“The doctors at Shifa deserve to die no less than Hamas terrorists. They are more dangerous because they hid behind their medical license, knowing there were abductees in the hospital (…)”. 

Yulia Malinovsky, MK for Yisrael Beitenu (Israel Our Home) party (Twitter, 19 November 2023)

“As time passes since the Black Saturday, and the security forces are arresting more and more terrorists who were involved in the event, the issue of how these scums[23] will be prosecuted rises. It is a hugely important issue for the inner Israeli arena, as well as the international arena. If in the case of Eichmann, damn him, it was one Nazi criminal, here is it hundreds of damned Nazis (…)”

Matan Kahana, MK for National Unity Party in a Video (Twitter, 19 November 2023)

“Europe – Wake up! This is a wakeup call for Europe. Do you really think this war is about Israel? The massacres in Israeli towns, farming communities, and in the music festival on 7 October, are a wakeup call for you! Nearly half a million people protested in London, more than 1500 anti-Semitic incidents were registered in France in the last month alone. So let us be clear about this, these anti-Semitic acts are demonstrations in favor of Hamas-ISIS. Demonstrations who are voicing support for those who murdered and raped, monsters, who burned whole families alive. Demonstrations in favor of Hamas ISIS “Freedom fighter” who cut open a pregnant mother’s stomach to slaughter the baby inside. The same Hamas terrorists, who on their murderous rampage slaughtered more than 1200 Israeli citizens and who are holding 240 people hostages, including babies, children, women, and holocaust survivors. It is Hamas that uses the people of Gaza as human shields, and hides weapons and bombs under hospitals and inside schools. Do you think this is a war only against Israel? This is a war against the entire way of life of our western democracies. Israel is on the front line of this war. The war that protects you from what can happen in your back yard. It’s time to wake up, before you too are forced to pay this dreadfully heavy price. Today it’s us, tomorrow it’s you. You better pray for our success.”

Israeli General Giora Eiland’s in an article in Yediot Ahronot calls for genocide (Twitter, 19 November)

“The international community warns of a humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza and of severe epidemics. We must not shy away from it, as hard as it is. After all, severe epidemics in the south of the Strip will hasten victory.”

Nissim Vaturi, MK for the Likud Party (Twitter, 17 November)

“We are too humane. Burn Gaza now no less!”

Limor Sonn Har Melech, MK for Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) Party (Twitter, 16 November 2023)

“Gaza, Judea and Samaria – same Nazis!”

Eli Cohen, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Member of Likud Party (Twitter, 15 November 2023)

“Whoever hosts terrorists and encourages terrorist organization will not lecture Israel on morality. The Turkish President[24] twists reality and is again on the wrong side of history, on the side of those who praise the ones who committed the massacre in Iran, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen. The State of Israel is a state of law, which acts according to international law, and will continue its war against the terrorist organization Hamas, which is worse than ISIS.”

Ariel Kallner, MK for the Likud Party (Facebook, 14 November 2023)

“I congratulate and support the initiative to receive the refugees of the Gaza Strip in the world! The rehabilitation of the Gaza Strip’s Arabs, both financially and morally, in a civilized society is a mandatory and required step. After decades of living under an evil rule, this will be, without a doubt, the best way to bring stability to the area and the world. To the countries who are saying they are worried about the situation of the Gazans and will refuse to promote this initiative, there will be no other solution to the issue.”

Bezalel Smotrich, Minister of Finance, Chairman of Religious Zionism Party (Facebook, 14 November 2023)

I congratulate the intiative of Knesset members Ram Ben Barak and Danny Danon for the voluntary immegration of the Arabs of Gaza to Arab countries around the world. It is the right humaniterian solution to the residents of Gaza and the entire area after 75 years of refuge, poverty, and pitty. The majority of the Gaza population is a forth of fifth generation of 48’ immigrents, that instead of being rehabilitated long ago on a personal and human basis, like hundreds of millions of refugees around the world, were held hostages in Gaza in poverty, crowdedness, and were a symbol of an aspiration to destroy the State of Israel and to return refugees to Yaffo, Haifa, Akko, and Tiberies[25]. This is also the reason for the intense hate against the State of Israel and Jews, upon which the population in Gaza is raised and educated, which alone can explain the cruelty of the horrible massacre that Hamas-ISIS committed against the citizens of Israel, viewing the state of Israel as the source of all their hardships, and the solution is in its distruction.

A small area cell such as the Gaza Strip, without any natural resources and self-generating income sources, does not have a chance to independantly exist economicaly and civicly, with such over crowdness, for long. Through genourese financial support and aid of the international community, including the State of Israel, is the only solution that will bring an end to the suffering and pain of Jews and Arabs alike.The State of Israel cannot accept the existence of an independet entity in Gaza anymore, which as mentioned, is inherantly based on the hate of Israel and the ambition to destroy it.”

Tzvi Yedidia Sukkot, MK for Religious Zionism Party (Twitter, 14 November 2023)

“This week, I began a blitz of interviews with foreign media, to dispel the lying campaign regarding settlers’ violence that has been running in the media and hurts the legitimacy of the State of Israel in the world. So far, I have interviewed with the New York Times, France 5 Channel, British Channel 4, and later this week, God willing, also the BBC and other leading channels.”

Itamar Ben Gvir, Minister of National Security, MK for Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) Party (Facebook, 14 November 2023)

“Today I visited, along with the Shabas[26] commissioner, the blocks where the Nazi Nuchba[27] prisoners stay. According to our direction, the terrorists are receiving the harshest conditions: eight terrorists cuffed in a dark cell, iron beds, toilets in a hole in the ground, and the Tikva[28] anthem played in the background the entire time. I hope that my request to hold a cabinet discussion regarding the death penalty for terrorists, which has already passed the preliminary vote, is answered, the law will be promoted, and we can begin implementing it on these despicable killers.”

Tally Gotliv, MK for Likud Party (Twitter, 13 November 2023)

“Fuel must not be transferred to Shifa[29]! The IDF left hundreds of liters of fuel near the Shifa hospital, which were transferred (act surprised) to Hamas!

The government does not have the mandate to approve fuel transfer to Gaza, this plays into the hands of Hamas without receiving anything from them in return but mockery and contempt (…)”

Ariel Kallner, MK for the Likud party (Facebook, 13 November 2023)

“A change of direction. In order for the military victory not to become a political defeat, it is not enough for the Nationalist camp to say that neither Hamas’s Nazis nor the Palestinian Authority’s Nazis are not an option. An alternative based on faith in the righteousness of the path must be presented, the world’s security is our responsibility, and an alternative political plan to the Oslo[30] paradigm, based on the middle-eastern reality. My action plan to creating stability:

1. Dismantlement: a military victory, collecting a territorial price, and removing UNRWA[31].

2. Demilitarization: Collecting the weapons in the Strip. Only our security forces will carry live weapon.

3. Cleansing evil (De-Nazification): similarly, to what was done by the allied forces in Germany in 1945.

4. Establishing local administrations based on local families and tribes (…)”

Limor Sonn Har Melech, MK for Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) Party (Twitter, 12 November)

“We cannot wait for the enemy to reach us. Those who rise to kill you, kill them first. That is the way of Judaism and it is the demand of the people of Israel! This time we cannot get confused!”

Tzvika Foghel, MK for Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) Party (Facebook, 12  November 2023)

“The summer camp for terrorists[32] is over. As part of the disucssion tomorrow at my committee regarding security prisoners, I arrived today to see the situation of the prisoners in the Megido and Gilboa prisons. During the tour, I was presented with the operational action policies, and the conditions in the prisoners’ cells. I would like to commend the guards and the command staff of the prisons who are working day and night to make sure that Hamas-ISIS terrorists get exactly what they deserve.”

Avi Dichter, Minister of Agriculture and MK for Likud Party in an Interview with Channel 12 (Twitter, 11 November)

"We are now actually rolling out the Gaza Nakba, this is the Gaza Nakba.”

Tally Gotliv, MK for Likud Party (Twitter, 11 November 2023)

“(…) Bomb everything without mercy. School, hospital, mosque. Anywhere serving terrorism is a legitimate target! The world will not support us anyway. The elimination of Hamas and the return of the captives are our missions, whatever the background noise may be.”

Rabbi Meir Maroz to Israeli Channel 7 (Twitter, 10 November)

 “If they [people of Gaza] were humans, we would have sent them humanitarian aid...but this is about animals”

Itamar Ben Gvir, Minister of National Security, MK for Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) Party (Facebook, 10 November 2023) [33]

“It is time to change the conception also regarding ‘settler’s violence,’ The facts speak for themselves. Enough of this lie.”

Itamar Ben Gvir, Minister of National Security, MK for Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) Party (Facebook, 10 November 2023)

“Let’s be clear, when we say Hamas must be destroyed, it includes those who sing, those who support, and those who hand out candy. These are all terrorists. And they too must be eliminated.”

Michal Miriam Woldiger, MK for Religious Zionism Party (Knesset Channel, 9 November 2023)

“How will another law help? Why go through the effort and legislate laws? We have warrants that already determine the school[34] must be closed, the issue is only enforcement. It is simply giving more food to the monster, let’s give it more, until it continues to grow”

Limor Sonn Har Melech, MK for Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) Party (Twitter, 9 November 2023)

“The olive harvest season is also known as the incitement season, it’s a dangerous season. In addition to the complex security management and the dangers due to “harvesters” who seek to hurt us. The settlers are forced to also deal with incitement against them, both by left-wing activists and political and security factors.

This year, the incitement went up a level. While our best sons are fighting at the different borders of Israel, and while the man-force that is protecting the settlements of Judea and Samaria has decreased significantly, the Minister of Security and the PM and other “senior” factors from the security forces chose to find the guilty in the increased clashes in the field – the settlers of Judea and Samaria.[35]

We will not allow you to turn around reality and blur the people. You are responsible for the security, and no briefing of any kind will change that. I call upon all those inciting against the settlers to stop, because if, God forbid, blood is spilled and none of you will be free of responsibility! Concentrate the effort to destroy the Nazi enemy! We have no other land!”

Michal Miriam Woldiger, MK for Religious Zionism Party (Twitter, 9 November 2023)

“It does not make sense. Our children[36] are with the sons of death[37] and we are holding fire? As long as the people of Gaza do not turn in Hamas people, they are full partners in the crime. We must not stop, we must not stop for a single moment!”

Ariel Kallner, MK for the Likud party (Twitter, 7 November 2023)

“The Nazis helpers[38]  must be dealt with as well. Following the exposure of Ad Kan organization[39] regarding ISM activists[40] in Judea and Samaria against IDF soldiers, I requested from the Minister of Defense that he removes them from the field. It is important to emphasize that it is a violent organization that denies the existence of the State of Israel and is led by Paul Larudee[41], who expressed real support of the horrifying massacre on Simchat Torah[42]. ‘Our brothers and sisters are teaching the Zionists a lesson’ he said. In a letter, I asked that the Minister acts against the Nazi supporters, including with administrative warrants. The State of Israel must exist the conception and change the tune here as well.”

Itamar Ben Gvir, Minister of National Security, MK for Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) Party (Twitter, 6 November 2023)

“Well done to the IDF forces who arrested the terrorists and "human-rights activist" Ahed Tamimi[43] from Nabi Saleh, who was convicted in the past for attacking IDF soldiers, and since the beginning of the war has been expressing solidarity and support of the Nazi animal-humans on social media platforms. Zero tolerance to terrorists and terrorists' supporters! Only this way!”
