Minister of National Infrastructure Binyamin Ben-Eliezer said Saturday that Jews who used violence while protesting the eviction from the Peace House in Hevron should be sent to jail for 15 years. “A handful of lawbreakers—they know their actions will boomerang back and lead to the murder of Jews,” he said.
"We must take a tough stance and put them in jail for 15 years, if the law is dear to us,” he continued. “There are good people among the settlers but a gang like this gave us Yigal Amir.” One month ago Ben-Eliezer said the political right in Judea and Samaria was beginning to hate the state and its institutions, and warned, “The next political murder is around the corner.”
