I accept the anger of the Haredi sector, and they are right. Yesterday's violence of several soldiers was superfluous, exaggerated and not acceptable. From the day I entered this office as Minister of National Security I committed to back up the policemen and soldiers, and that is what I have done - at every opportunity when our heroes experienced ugly shaming and violence against them. But shoving old men and hitting women - that is not what I meant. I was very angry when I saw that and I immediately took care to suspend those soldiers.
-- Minister Itamar Ben Gvir
oops. That's not what I meant. I told the I would back them up when they beat up protestors and are overly aggressive against people and crowds, but I didnt mean they should beat up old men and women...
They probably dont even understand why they have been suspended, considering the mixed messages he is sending...
