Attack by Palestinian gunmen ignites Israeli vigilante anger
Violent settlers set multiple fires
By Patrick Kingsley, New York Times, Jerusalem
Transcribed from the clipping
“JERUSALEM — Israeli extremists caused widespread damage in a wave of attacks on Palestinian towns that lasted from Tuesday night until Wednesday night in revenge for the killing of four Israelis by Palestinian gunmen outside a nearby settlement in the territory… Scores of Israeli arsonists entered the Palestinian communities closest to the site of the shooting… Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the settler attacks unacceptable, saying: ‘The State of Israel is a state of law’… But Netanyahu also attempted to assuage hard-line allies… by announcing that he would immediately advance plans to build 1,000 more homes in Eli… ‘Our answer to terrorism is to strike at it forcefully and build up our country,’ Netanyahu said… Palestinians accused the Israeli security forces of standing by as the settlers attacked and even engaging in some of the violence itself.”
Context added by this archive
Israeli extremists, Israeli arsonists, violent settlers: the New York Times uses all three in its own voice. The government’s stated answer, in the same column, is a thousand more houses.
