Israeli settlers attacked the Palestinian town of Huwara for the second time in just over a week on late on Monday, in a night of violence during the Jewish Purim holiday festivities that followed calls by far-right politicians for it to be destroyed.
After the rampage, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said, “The village of Huwara needs to be wiped out. I think the state of Israel should do it.”
The Israeli military said it could not immediately comment on whether any rocks were thrown at Jewish-occupied cars ahead of the supermarket attack. “The soldiers who were present did not act to prevent the violence,” Yesh Din, an Israeli human rights organization that tracks settler violence, said in a statement. “The pogroms in Huwara also continue as part of the settlers’ Purim celebrations.”Several videos purporting to be taken in the vicinity of Huwara on Monday evening showed Israeli security forces dancing alongside settlers to Purim music.
Last week, U.S. State Department spokesman Ned Price described Smotrich’s remarks about Huwara as “irresponsible” and “repugnant.” Smotrich and Ben-Zion have backed off those comments.Netanyahu later thanked Smotrich for “making it clear” that his choice of words was “inappropriate.”
