Bodies of Palestinians Should be Dragged in Public – Extremist Smotrich Says

How does the Israeli extreme rightwing Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich live with himself?  

How does he get up every morning and say “this is our land” apparently unsure of himself and the millions of Palestinians around him!

His latest rant calling for the dragging and parading of the bodies of slain Palestinians to deter attacks against Israelis is creating much controversy.

The remarks reported by the Israeli Maariv newspaper, Monday, is trending on the social media.

In a heated session of the Israeli War Cabinet, Sunday, Smotrich said  the bodies of Palestinian attackers holding Israeli nationality should be publicly dragged to serve as a warning to others “contemplating attacks against Jewish residents”, he said as quoted by the Times of Gaza.


His comments were made in the context of discussing the return of bodies of Palestinians accused of carrying out attacks against Israelis, according to the newspaper.
