After the publication on Arutz Sheva – Israel National News showing a drastic decrease in nationalist crime this year compared to previous years, and in the shadow of the war, on Saturday evening, MK Tzvi Succot (Religious Zionism), chairman of the subcommittee on Jewish affairs, sent a letter to the Foreign Minister and the IDF Spokesman, in which he called on them to refute the allegations of settler violence.
Succot opened the letter by saying that “In recent weeks, a false campaign has been carried out in the shadow of the war regarding ‘settler violence.’ Similar publications were in the New York Times, CNN, and many media outlets around the world.”
Succot added that, “What all the publications have in common is the lack of an official response from the State of Israel to a publication that is based on Palestinian reports only.” He noted that, “The false campaign about ‘settler violence’ severely damages the legitimacy of the State of Israel. This is what the Prime Minister also said this week in a conversation with the governors and even the President of the United States referred to this several times.”
“Since this is a false campaign, which was refuted this week in a document presented to the commissioner and published on the Arutz Sheva – Israel National News website and according to what a senior official in the law enforcement system published on the Makor Rishon website, our role as a state is to refute the campaign.”
In conclusion, the Chairman of the Subcommittee on Jewish Affairs wrote, “As mentioned, this campaign is false and damages the legitimacy of the State of Israel, and as a result, I expect you as an official representing the State of Israel to refute the campaign in front of the global media.”
“This evening I appealed to the Foreign Minister and the IDF Spokesman demanding that they refute the campaign regarding settler violence. This is a false campaign that harms the legitimacy of the State of Israel in the world, and it is appropriate that the official bodies that represent the State of Israel, led by the IDF spokesman and the Foreign Minister, refute it.”
… This huge country of Israel where everyone is a nazi-like settler and whose ambition is to conquer all the countries of the Middle East and settle them with these same settlers…
Have I got it right????
Vivarto –
So the media in Denmark lie to the citizens? What makes that situation any different than what we have here in the U.S.?
in Denmark the radio stations continue to repeat the lie that settlers attack poor peaceful Palestinians to chase them off and steal their land and that the Army is supporting them.
This is the reason for the violence against the Jews.
So, on the one hand Hamas is bad, but on the other hand, it is understandable because Jews…
I wonder if there are some laws against such lies being spoken on the radio, or by the people they present or interview.
Does this not constitute libel, or perhaps even incitement to violence?
Because these claims certainly DO incite to violence.
