As I recall, the chairman of the National Security Committee from Otzma Yehudit caused a stir when he referred to the night of the riots at the end of last month in an interview with GLAZ and other media. The Knesset member refused to condemn the violence and even claimed that it created a “deterrent effect”. Knesset member Vogel also said in an interview that “the deterrence effect that was achieved yesterday has not been achieved by the State of Israel since the protective wall. I see the result very favorably.” He added: “In Hawara they realized that there is a balance of terror here that the IDF is unable to achieve. I want to see the same place burning, burning metaphorically.”
On the night of the riots in Hawara, settlers set fire to dozens of cars, shops and family homes, in response to the murder of the Meher Bracha brothers. During the clashes, dozens of Palestinian families were evacuated by the IDF from their homes, after they were set on fire.
