Yair Netanyahu, the son of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, spoke in a controversial manner towards those protesting against the reform of the judicial system, even calling them ‘terrorists’.
Inbal Orpaz, who filed a complaint against Netanyahu with the police following his words, spoke this morning (Sunday) with Anat Davidov and Gideon Oko on 103FM and explained her steps: “I know what terrorists look like. A year ago, on January 27, I went through an attempted lynching, but Atami, together with my father. Dozens of terrorists looked at me with a look of murder in their eyes, threw rocks at us from zero distance.”
“A year ago, in Binyamin. We accidentally entered a village called Deir Jarir and experienced a real lynching there. I saw terrorists with my own eyes. Here, a year later, I and hundreds of thousands of other people are being called terrorists, and even at a time when the government is promoting the death sentence for terrorists. I ask , will they also give us a death sentence? We must put an end to incitement to violence. I am not ready for them to spare my blood and that of my family and of anyone else who is protesting with me, and we feel this violence on the street and on the Internet. This incitement is not for nothing. We feel the This,” she said.
According to her, “In the new government, there seems to be some kind of problem of controlling the brackets, one calls the protesters terrorists, then he says he didn’t mean to, one says that Hvara should have been deleted, but actually no, after that they say that the protesters should be struck and then they say that the things were taken out of context. These statements, it doesn’t help. Specifically Netanyahu, he has been talking about protesters for years. He calls them aliens and spreaders of disease and anarchists, and in general, there is an entire government here that keeps calling us anarchists. We are not anarchists, we are citizens who are in all the places that are important for existence of this country and simply let our blood flow. What is it to call us anarchists? This dehumanization, we feel it. I experience it online, I experience it on the street. There is almost no demonstration that follows it or on the way to it, I am not shouted at, cursed at, threatened on the networks “.
“Yesterday I demonstrated in Tel Aviv, at the main demonstration in Kaplan. I can tell you that at the end of the demonstration I left with a march, we reached Dizingoff Street, and there they threw eggs at us, on the corner of Dizingoff and Ben Gurion Street. People stood and threw eggs at us from the balconies. After that I tweeted about what they threw We threw eggs at us, so one of the commenters there wrote that it’s a shame they didn’t throw cluster bombs at us. This violence comes from somewhere and there is incitement here and it will end in blood,” she concluded.
