Israeli settlers attack Palestinian town after killings
By Patrick Kingsley and Isabel Kershner, New York Times
Transcribed from the clipping
“Hundreds of Israeli settlers attacked a Palestinian town in the occupied West Bank on Sunday night, setting fire to dozens of homes and cars… ‘This is the tax for living in Palestine,’ said Ammar Damedi, 37, a gold trader whose shop was destroyed… Tzvika Foghel, a lawmaker from the far-right Jewish Power party, said: ‘I am very pleased with the result.
Wherever terrorists come to murder me, I want to see that place in flames. Metaphorically.’”
Context added by this archive
A second news agency, the same night. A Palestinian shopkeeper and an Israeli lawmaker are quoted in consecutive paragraphs, and the lawmaker adds the word metaphorically himself.
