Naftali Bennett Condemns Jewish Extremists, Backs Shin Bet
JERUSALEM — Naftali Bennett, leader of the right-wing Jewish Home Party, condemned Jewish extremists and affirmed his support for the Shin Bet security service in its investigation of the firebombing of a Palestinian home. The leader of the religious Zionist political party also condemned the Jewish terrorism manifested in the recent attacks on Palestinians, including the murder of a Palestinian teen in response to the kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teens, which he called “a new approach that is being followed by a few dozen disturbed anarchists,” in a post Tuesday on his Facebook page.
“This approach is intended to destroy the ties between the Nation of Israel and the State of Israel,” Bennett wrote. This “is not the way of the Israeli right, and it is not the way of religious Zionism.” “This is anarchy,” he wrote.
Bennett came out and called the recent attacks by Jews on Palestinians terrorism. He wrote: “When you burn a sleeping family, that is a terrorist attack. With a terrorist attack – you do everything to catch those responsible. You do everything – within the limits of the law, and according to the examinations I conducted the things that were done were legal. Just as I trust the Shin Bet to chase murderers of Jews, I trust them in this case – not without checking and not without questioning, and I am doing just that.”
