Israeli Official Incitement: January 2024

 

I. Against the Palestinian People/Endorsing Genocide in Gaza

 

Boaz Bismuth, MK for Likud Party (Twitter, 18 January 2024) [1]

“Establishing a Palestinian state on land soaked with the holy blood of Jews – a reward for terrorism and a victory to today’s Nazis.[2]”

Avigdor Lieberman, MK for Yisrael Beiteinu (Israel our Home) Party (Twitter, 18 January 2024)

“Very quietly, after over 100 trucks enter daily to the Gaza Strip through Kerem Shalom[3] crossing, and talks of rehabilitating the Strip have become routine, apparently, the government of Israel went back to supplying water to the amount of half a million cubic meter a month, directly from Israel into the Strip’s territory. This is a severe mistake that clearly proves that the government continues to fully apply the Oslo policy.”

Tzvi Yedidia Sukkot, MK for Religious Zionist Party (Twitter, 17 January 2024)

“Finally, an indictment against the biggest inciter[4] in Jerusalem. One of Israel’s biggest enemies, who for some reason has had immunity for many years. This man needs to finish his life in prison.“

Tally Gotliv, MK for Likud Party (Twitter, 16 January 2024)

“Minister Smotrich, this is under your responsibility and during your shift! Maybe you can explain to me why you are not immediately demolishing the Palestinian illegal construction in Judea and Samaria[5] in a desert reserve between Gush Etzion[6] and the Dead Sea, which under the Oslo Accords is meant to remain a natural reserve? Don’t say that you didn’t know, I’m adding pictures for you. I think it’s more important than demolishing the house of a heroic Jewish fighter in Gaza.[7]”

Itamar Ben Gvir, Minister of National Security, MK for Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) Party (Twitter, 16 January 2024)

“The conception cabinet[8] is making one wrong decision after another (and) that is causing damage. The decision to remove the IDF from Hamas centers in the Gaza Strip is a severe mistake and a price to be paid in human life. The barrage of rockets fired at Netivot[9] this morning, from the area the IDF forces left only yesterday, proves once again that occupying the Strip is a necessary thing to achieve the combat goals. Continuing to manage the war, and bypassing the political-security cabinet through a small cabinet – is unacceptable for Otzma Yehudit.”

Tally Gotliv, MK for Likud Party (Twitter, 15 January 2024)

“The accomplishments of the fighters[10] in Gaza are phenomenal and great. The political leadership must unanimously say that it is time for Israeli sovereignty over the Northern Strip. The political leadership is responsible for returning deterrence in the eyes of our enemy by occupying the north of the strip. That is the only language terrorist organizations will understand. The leadership has much to learn from our brave fighters.”

Limor Sonn Har-Melech, MK for Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) Party (Twitter, 15 January 2023)

“Only yesterday did I warn that opening the gates of Israel to Palestinazi[11] laborers may jeopardize the citizens of the State of Israel (…) The Nazis are the same Nazis, and giving them work permits will endanger the citizens of the state of Israel (…)”

Moshe Saada, MK for Likud Party (Twitter, 14 January 2024)

“I agree with the Minister of Defense[12] that it is important to prevent an escalation in Judea and Samaria. The way to prevent an escalation is with an iron fist of the IDF[13], not paying bribes and attempts to buy fake calm from those trying to kill us. After 7.10 the people of Israel are wiser. Whoever is stuck in 6.10 is welcome to join us.”

Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, MK for Likud Party (Twitter, 11 January 2024)

“We fight terrorists. And we fight lies. Today we once again saw an “upside-down world” - the State of Israel is accused of genocide while it is fighting a genocide.[14] Israel’s fighting against murderous terrorists, who committed terrible crimes against humanity: they massacred, they raped, they burned, they dismembered, they murdered, children, women, the elderly, young men, young women[15]. A terrorist organization that committed the most terrible crimes against the Jewish people since the Holocaust, and now there are those who come to defend it in the name of the Holocaust. What audacity. Upside down world. And precisely the IDF, the most moral army in the world, that does everything to avoid harming the uninvolved people, that is accused by the representative of the monsters of “genocide”. The hypocrisy of South Africa screams to heaven. Where was South Africa when 1 million people were murdered and displaced from their homes in Syria and Yemen, and by whom? By the partners of Hamas. Upside down world. Where have you been? We know where we are standing - we will continue to fight the terrorists, we will continue to repel the lies, we will continue to maintain our right to defend ourselves and secure our future - until the absolute victory.”

Nissim Vaturi, MK for Likud Party (Kol Barama, 10 January 2024)

 “They burnt us, we must burn Gaza.”[16]

Hanoch Dov Milwidsky, MK for Likud Party (Instagram, 9 January 2024)

“There will be no political settlement with the Gazans. Certainly not in this generation.”

Tzvi Yedidia Sukkot, MK for Religious Zionism Party (Twitter, 9 January 2024)

“It's really so infuriating. The appointed Minister Bezalel Smotrich rejected the request of General Fox[17] to destroy a Jewish settlement[18] . In the midst of the war, General Fox, defined the evacuation of the settlement as an urgent security need. [Now there is not a single Arab village in the visible range]. In recent months there has not been a single security incident there, and a Bedouin encampment that was illegally there has never been evacuated. Hundreds of police officers and fighters were sent to carry out the task this morning. Fox's obsession with evacuating Jews is unfathomable.”

Bezalel Smotrich, Minister of Finance, Chairman of Religious Zionism Party (Jewish Press, January 2024)

“Whoever thinks it would possible to go back to what was before and engineer some kind of local civil government in Gaza is mistaken. It is clear that Nazis are living in Gaza, two million Nazis who are being held captive for a long time, in poverty, in overcrowding, they are being deliberately held by the Arab world. I have been saying for years that Gaza is a time bomb with a mechanism of destruction toward the State of Israel (…) I follow the rules of international law, I do not evict anyone from their home by force. But I do say that a large part of the population of Gaza wants to get out of there. We must control Gaza for a long time, and we will not be able to maintain our control there without re-establishing the settlements. I hear the Secretary of State rejecting the ideas of senior Israeli government officials about ‘forced deportation.’ This is not true; we’re all talking about voluntary migration. We are in one of perhaps most just wars since the establishment of the state, we are in a war of absolute good against absolute evil.”

Amichay Eliyahu, Minister of Heritage, Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) Party (INN, 5 January 2024)

"We need to find what hurts them (…) I think we can break their spirit, we did it to Nazis in Germany.”

Avigdor Lieberman, MK for Yisrael Beiteinu (Israel Our Home) Party (Twitter, 4 January 2024)

“After the shameful decision to open the Kerem Shalom crossing to bring "humanitarian aid" into the Gaza Strip, the Israeli government is breaking a new record and is also considering opening the Erez crossing[19] as well. This policy clearly proves that the Israeli government continues to implement the Oslo policy on the way to the establishment of a Palestinian state. What is required is to close all the crossings between Israel and the Gaza Strip, neither the Kerem Shalom crossing nor the Erez crossing, not even the crossing of goods and certainly not of workers - simply complete disconnection, without electricity and water supply.”

Moshe Saada, MK for Likud Party (Channel 14, 3 January 2024)

“Just as it is clear today that the right was correct in the political issue, the Palestinian issue, today it’s simple, you go anywhere, they say “annihilate them[20]”, in the Kibbutz tell you to annihilate them, my colleagues at the prosecution, who fought with me politically, they say Moshe, of course we must annihilate all Gazans. These are statements I haven’t heard before.”

Tally Gotliv, MK for Likud Party (Twitter, 3 January 2024)

“If, God forbid, the cabinet accepts the recommendation of the security echelon to allow the return of Gaza residents to the north of the Gaza Strip, this means a burning loss in the eyes of the cruel Hamas[21]. Only the occupation of the northern Gaza Strip will restore our security and deterrence and will be an image of victory and the humiliation of Hamas at the same time. Continue to engaging in the nonsense of the high court of justice, when under your noses this delusional recommendation takes shape.”[22]

Ariel Kallner, MK for Likud Party (Twitter, 2 January 2024)

“’Settler violence’ is a modern blood libel that originates from de-legitimization organizations[23], the goal of which is: a Palestinian state on Route 6[24]. ‘Together we will win’ should also be the slogan in the war against de-legitimization, just as the settlers are fighting for us all on all fronts in the war in the South and the North.”

Tzvi Yedidia Sukkot, MK for Religious Zionism Party (Twitter, 2 January 2024).

“To occupy, to annex, to destroy all the houses there[25], to build large and spacious neighborhoods, large settlements that will be named after the nation's heroes who fought there, to distribute plots of land to the soldiers who fought, to the wounded who fought - so that Palestine Square[26] will become the Israeli hero's square.”

II. Endorsing the Forcible Transfer of People in Gaza/Ethnic Cleansing

 

Danny Danon, MK for Likud Party (Twitter, 17 January 2024)

“No Gazan should return to the north of the strip – and it must be insisted upon with the Americans, otherwise we lose the main achievement of the war and we will not be able to return the abductees.”

Shlomo Karhi, Minister of Communications, MK for Likud Party (Twitter, 10 January)

 “We should encourage voluntary migration and we should compel them until they say they want it. Continue to pressure them, using force, starvation, difficult conditions.”

Amit Halevi, MK for Likud Party (Facebook, 4 January 2024)

“Either a citizen of the state or an enemy of the state. Period. It is unthinkable that the person who is a citizen or resident of a country violates the most basic parts of the contract with the state, and is an accomplice to terrorism, and damage to the country. This law to annul citizenship and exile citizens of residents who committed tourism acts, was initiated by the Choose Life Forum [27] under the direction of Morris Hirsch, after many years of discussions we enacted it about a year ago led by the chairman of the coalition Ofir Katz. This week, the information that enables its implementation arrived. Those who receive money from the Mokata’a[28], will be thrown to the Mokata’a. Their citizenship or residency will be revoked, and they will stop receiving the basket of rights and the money they received from the taxes of Israeli citizens whom they murdered or injured.”[29]

Bezalel Smotrich, Minister of Finance, Chairman of Religious Zionism Party (Twitter, 3 January 2024).

“Over 70% of the Israeli public today supports a humanitarian solution of encouraging the voluntary immigration of Gaza’s Arabs and their integration in other countries, understanding that a small country like ours cannot afford a reality where four minutes away from our settlements there is a hotbed of hatred and terrorism where two million people who wake up every morning with aspiration.”

Itamar Ben Gvir, Minister of National Security, MK for Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) Party (Twitter, 2 January 2024)

"I greatly appreciate the USA, but with all due respect we will do what is good for the State of Israel: the migration of hundreds of thousands from Gaza will allow the residents of the Gaza Envelope to return home and live in security and protect the IDF soldiers.”

Danny Danon, MK for Likud Party (Twitter, 2 January 2024)

“Israel must now open the option for at least voluntary immigration.  Ask the Palestinians immigrants where you want to go because you cannot return to your homes. It is winter and there are 1,800,000 of you living in tents. Hamas does not care about you. Start doing a world headquarters and check every country that can receive really small numbers of immigrants, like 20,000 or 30,000. This can lead to creative solutions for the benefit of the Gazans who before the war immigrated and chose to leave Gaza. We have people in the Gaza strip that do not want this war, and they cannot return to their homes. Israel needs to find the solution for them (…)”

Itamar Ben Gvir, Minister of National Security, MK for Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) Party (Twitter, 1 January 2024)

“We must promote the solution to encourage the migration of Gaza residents. We must promote it. This is a correct, just, moral and humane solution. We have partners around the world that can help us. Encouraging the immigration of the residents of Gaza will allow us to bring home the residents of the Outaf[30] and the residents of Gush Katif.[31]”

Attacks against the Indigenous Palestinian Citizens of Israel

 

Itamar Ben Gvir, Minister of National Security, MK for Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) Party (Twitter, 1 January 2024) [32]

“Ahmad Tibi[33], supporter of terrorism, if you attack me for promoting the immigration program for the residents of Gaza - I know I am on the right track. By the way, don't worry, I didn't neglect promoting your immigration out of the Knesset.”

 

Against President Mahmoud Abbas and the Palestinian Leadership

 

Bezalel Smotrich, Minister of Finance, Chairman of Religious Zionism Party (Twitter, 4 January 2024) [34]

“I greatly appreciate the support of the USA and President Biden for Israel, but as long as I am the Minister of Finance, we will not transfer a single shekel to the Palestinian Authority that willl go to the families of the terrorists[35] and Nazis in Gaza.”

 

Michal Miriam Woldiger, MK for Religious Zionist Party (Twitter, 4 January 2024) [36]

“So, the innocent and pure Palestinian Authority is not ready to accept the tax money[37] if we deduct the terrorists' money. ‘All or nothing’ they say those around Abu Mazen’s. And I say, well, fine, nothing.”

Bezalel Smotrich, Minister of Finance, Chairman of Religious Zionism Party (Twitter, 9 January 2024).

“American Secretary of State Blinkin, welcome to Israel. We greatly appreciate the US's support for Israel, but as far as our existence in our country is concerned, we will always act according to the Israeli interest. And so, we will continue to fight with all our might to destroy Hamas, we will not transfer a shekel to the Palestinian Authority that will go to the families of the Nazis in Gaza.”

Orit Malka Strock, Minister of Culture and National Missions, MK for Religious Zionist Party (Twitter, 14 January 2024)

“A strong Palestinian Authority is an Israeli interest?” It’s hard to understand how you can say a sentence like this, two days after this “evil authority” sued (by proxy) the state of Israel and IDF soldiers in the Hague for “genocide”, after 100 days during which the heads of this “evil authority” expressed sympathy with the Nukhba[38] massacre during Simchat Turah[39]. And they continue to pay salaries to terrorists.”

III. Against UN Organizations/International Court of Justice /Red Cross

 

Yulia Malinovsky, MK for Yisrael Beitenu (Israel our Home) Party (Twitter, 30 January 2024) [40]

“Social workers and teachers by day, Hamas terrorists at night. The state of Israel must sever all ties with the terrorist organization UNRWA, whose employees took an active part in the horrible massacre on the seventh of October. I demanded a discussion in the Committee for Foreign and Security Affairs, to ask all the questions regarding Israel’s cooperation and the funding of this organization. It is another operational arm of Hamas and the policy towards it must be accordingly.”

Simcha Rothman, MK for Religious Zionism Party (Instagram, 29 January 2024)

“Tomorrow, the hearing regarding UNRWA will be held in the US House Foreign Affairs Committee. This week, the USA and other countries joined the understanding that UNRWA funds terrorism and have halted fund transfer to it. Only today it was published that UNRWA employees took an active part in the 7.10 attacks. It doesn’t surprise us. For years, we have been screaming that UNRWA does not care about refugees, but keeps them as such. These days, I am in meetings in the USA on exactly these subjects, to strengthen the understanding that zero tolerance must be shown to supporting terrorism. Whoever supports terrorism is an enemy, and must be treated as such. UNRWA supports terrorism and I expect that other countries will understand this and stop funding UNRWA, permanently.” [41]

Dan Illouz, MK for Likud Party (Twitter, 26 January 2024)

“The decision made in the Hague is making a joke of reality. The situation is similar to a scenario where judges supporting Nazis preside after the Second World War, relying on quotes from Nazi supporters like UNRWA, and discuss if the United States and Britain committed genocide because they freed the world of the Nazis. The only ones who actually tried to commit genocide were Hamas. To call and declare that Israel must preserve international law is like asking a painter to paint. The state of Israel adheres to the law, and will continue to do so, that is why there is no real meaning to the Court’s decision other than deliberately damaging the political status of Israel. The case should have been dismissed immediately. We will continue in the mission of completely destroying Hamas-ISIS, the face of evil in the world, for the good of Israel and the entire free world.”

Yitzhak Kroizer, MK for Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) Party (Twitter, 26 January 2024)

“The decision of the international court of justice is distorted, proving that the sick anti-Semitism is not gone from the world, but dressing up and is taking on new shapes – every generation and its Dreyfus[42], every generation and its own blood libel, when the swastikas, the arm, and the shiny shoes were replaced with judge’s wigs and suits. The international court in the Hague, which was established by the UN following the horrors during the Jewish holocaust, has become a circus of hypocrisy, double standards, and denying the holocaust in an attempt to bend and weaken the Jewish people, but especially today, we must stand tall and proud to be “a free people in our land (…).”

Nir Barkat, Minister of Economy and Industry, MK for Likud Party (Twitter, 11 January 2024).

“(…) The High Court of Justice opened a trial against those defending themselves instead of against those who committed the most terrible massacre against Jews since the Holocaust. Instead of opening a trial against Hamas, the hypocritical High Court of Justice investigates Israel with false claims, fabrications and anti-Semitic blood libel. This is the biggest absurdity anyone could think of. * Anti-Israelism is the new anti-Semitism. The Court in The Hague does an injustice to the victims of the Black Sabbath massacre and their families* and above all acts with unimaginable hypocrisy. The State of Israel works harder than any other country to prevent harm to the innocent and in the end the court in The Hague is chasing us. It's a circus of hypocrisy. I thank you, Vice Chancellor, for your firm stand for Israel and for justice and for the sincere friendship of Germany. On behalf of the State of Israel, I thank you and the German government for your firm support of our right to protect our citizens from the terrorism of Hamas.”

Yuli Yoel Edelstein, MK for the Likud party (Twitter, 17 January 2024)

“There is a lively discussion regarding the day after. Well, I will reveal a little about the day after. The day after there won’t be a Palestinian factor that educates their children to kill Jews. There will be no UNRWA. Not in Gaza, not in the Authority[43], and not in Jerusalem. The time of inciting education – is over.”

Gilad Erdan, Permanent Ambassador to the UN (Twitter, 11 January 2024)

“I met with the Red Cross Ambassador to the UN Laetita Courtois. I strongly attacked the Red Cross which refuses to publicly condemn Hamas, which does not allow access to abductees or the transfer of medicine and commits the most serious war crimes. I explained to her that Hamas is deliberately abusing international law and harnessing the UN to put pressure on Israel for a ceasefire that will allow it to survive. I emphasized that many of the UN workers in Gaza are spreading lies about the war and inciting against Israel, therefore I will recommend to the government to cancel their visas and deport them from the country until reforms are carried out in the biased bodies.”

Matan Kahana, MK for National Unity Party (Youtube, 10 January 2024)

“During the days that the State of Israel is being sued in the International Court of Justice in the Hague, which is an organization of the United Nations, for committing genocide, exactly during these days, we see that UNRWA, another UN organization, encourages terrorism, is part of terrorism, its people are actively committing terrorist attacks, not to mention the praise its people give to terrorists. Since the attack on October 7th, in the organization’s telegram groups of thousands of people saying and expressing, one employee “I never saw such joy in people’s hearts before,” another employee said “welcome to the great month of October,” calling those who committed the massacre heroes. These are all people who work for UNRWA. Not to mention the IDF soldiers who risk themselves and get to UNRWA infrastructures and find Hamas weapons and combat gear, in flour bags and food bags of UNRWA, all of this in an official UN institution. The only thing left to say is that UNRWA is not a part of the solution, it’s the problem.”

Erez Malul, MK for Shas Party (Knesset Channel, 10 January 2024)

“UNRWA budgets are billions of dollars a year that are given by states such as the USA, European countries, and Arab countries. Most of the budgets are meant for the education system. But the education system in Gaza teaches, with UNRWA budgets, extremist political views, gives false hope of the return of refugees to the land of Israel, based on the territory before 1967. And now, they found equipment with UNRWA logo on it, which was used to dig tunnels, which we today all know what their extent was and what they are meant for. We are speaking about an organization that meant to be humane, and I quote the former Secretary General of UNRWA, Peter Hansen: ‘sure there are some Hamas members among UNRWA employees, and I do not view it as a crime because Hamas is a political organization.’[44] You understand, Hamas that slaughtered us, did unspeakable things, a murderous organization, without an ounce of mercy, is a political organization, and who declared it? The former UNRWA Secretary General. The actions of UNRWA go against UNs’ principles, its spirit, and the reason it was created for.”

Gilad Erdan, Permanent Ambassador to the UN (Twitter, 9 January 2024)

“All the UN bodies and its institutions have become weapons against Israel in the hands of Hamas terrorists. How is it possible that the Convention for the Prevention of Genocide, which was adopted after the Holocaust, is currently being used in the UN against the Jewish state, while it is serving Hamas, which is working to destroy Israel?! South Africa's petition in the High Court of Justice is baseless, full of lies and slander and serves only the killers of Hamas!”

Danny Danon, MK for Likud Party (Twitter, 4 January 2024) [45]

“The whole story of elected officials hiding behind the title 'political factor' is starting to get embarrassing. If any of the country's leaders has an opinion - it is better if he expresses it by name and voice and not hide. As a matter of fact - nearly 1000 Gazans have already received permission to leave to a receiving country, hence this is certainly possible if we only want. And a final word to the 'political factor' - UNRWA has become the executive arm of Hamas. It is time to update the operating system and change our conduct which is still stuck in 6.10. Whoever opens the Kerem Shalom crossing - Whoever opens the Erez crossing - Those who wish to let UNRWA remain is simply disconnected and does not understand what happened here and what the people of Israel expect from his leadership.”

Avigdor Lieberman, MK for Yisrael Beiteinu (Israel Our Home) Party (Twitter, 4 January 2024)

“The terrible decision of the Israeli government to appear in the International Court of Justice in the Hague following South Africa's call to open an investigation against Israel, is a de facto recognition of the legitimacy of the Court to discuss the false claim that was submitted. This is a serious mistake from which there is no way back, since after the verdict that will be given, we will no longer be able to claim the obvious hypocrisy of the Court. All Israeli governments for generations have refused to recognize the authority of the Hague Tribunal and its legitimacy, and especially now there is no reason to act otherwise. Where was that South Africa when hundreds of thousands were murdered, and many millions were displaced from their homes in Syria? This clearly highlights the hypocrisy of South Africa and the hypocrisy of the Court that serves terrorist organizations and tyrannical regimes. The decision to appear before it is not only a mistake but may also cause us irreparable damage.”

Gilad Erdan, Permanent Ambassador to the United Nations (Twitter, 4 January 2024)

“I was interviewed by Arutz 7[46] and I spoke about the crimes of the UN, and its actual complicity in the crimes of Hamas and our struggle here, to preserve the legitimacy of the war in Gaza and the achievements of its goals.”

 

VI. Additional Examples

 

Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister, MK for Likud Party (Facebook, 26 January 2024)

“Israel's commitment to international law is unwavering. Equally unwavering is our sacred commitment to continue to defend our country and defend our people. Like every country, Israel has an inherent right to defend itself. The vile attempt to deny Israel this fundamental right is a blatant discrimination against the Jewish state, and it was justly rejected. The charge of genocide leveled against Israel is not only false, it’s outrageous, and decent people everywhere should reject it. On the eve of the International Holocaust Remembrance Day, I again pledge as Prime Minister of Israel - Never Again. Israel will continue to defend itself against Hamas, a genocidal terror organization. On October 7th, Hamas perpetrated the most horrific atrocities against the Jewish people since the Holocaust, and it vows to repeat these atrocities again and again and again. Our war is against Hamas terrorists, not against Palestinian civilians. We will continue to facilitate humanitarian assistance, and to do our utmost to keep civilians out of harm's way, even as Hamas uses civilians as human shields. We will continue to do what is necessary to defend our country and defend our people."

Dan Illouz, MK for Likud Party (Twitter, 18 January 2024)

“If the choice is between normalization and the existence of the State of Israel, we choose the existence of the State of Israel. A Palestinian State is a danger to the existence of the State of Israel. It is always true, and it’s double true now when a Palestinian State will be interpreted as an achievement of Hamas following the slaughter. Awarding terrorism creates more terrorism. The only result of this massacre should have the complete destruction of Hamas. Not a political achievement for the Palestinians. The greatness of the Abraham Accords[47] was in the fact that they did not allow the Palestinians to prevent regional peace. We cannot go back to the failed equations that brought us here.”

Amichai Eliyahu, Minister of Heritage, Member of Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) Party (Twitter, 9 January 2024) [48]

“It is no wonder that South Africa is a country galloping into the third world, infested with crime and murder and with over 30% unemployment seeks to divert the attention of its poor citizens to other nations. Of course, it is very convenient if those nations are successful so that it's possible to ride the communist wave of hating the successful and the rich. They will continue to destroy, and we will continue to build.”
