Transcribed from the clipping

“The recent turbulence in Israel evokes a strong feeling of déjà vu. As one of the Yom Kippur War generation, I remember vividly those dark days in October 1973… Today, 50 years later, we are attacked again, and we feel the same sense of urgency, of a serious danger to the state of Israel.

Except that this time, the attack comes not from the outside, but from within… The Religious Zionist Party calls for annexing the West Bank, thus creating one state between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean, where millions of Palestinians might become second-rate citizens.

In reaction to the pogrom Israeli settlers had carried out in the Palestinian village of Hawara, in revenge for the murder of two Israeli settlers, party leader Bezalel Smotrich, Israel’s finance minister, said: ‘Hawara should have been wiped out.’…”

Context added by this archive

The word pogrom, in an American newspaper, from a former spokesman for two Israeli governments, describing what settlers did at Huwara.
