Netanyahu Condemns Jewish Terror, But Says No Comparison in Scope to Arab Terror
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday, referring to a video of Jews at a wedding celebrating with guns and knives, dismissed them as part of an extremist fringe. "That is not the proud religious Zionism that contributes to the state, and whose sons serve in the elite units in the army," he said. "It is also impossible to compare the scope of that terror with Arab terror. In the last month they [Arabs] carried out hundreds of attacks against us, and we saw just a few Jewish terrorist attacks." Nevertheless, he said, Israel will not tolerate any type of terrorism, from any side. "Israel is a land of the rule of law. We will not tolerate a situation where a particular group refuses to accept the laws of the state, and carries out acts of murder."
