Barkat says social-media incitement is behind wave of terror
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleJerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat says that the main reason for the recent wave of violence is incitement “on a level we have never seen before.
“When they interrogate the terrorists, what we see is young people who are incited to a level I have never seen before, and you see that they seek to harm innocents and listen to no one except Facebook and Twitter,” adds Barkat.
“The inciters,” he says, “are simply sending young people to get killed. They wound police officers and civilians, and the officers — out of self-defense — kill them.”
