Jewish extremist arrested to appease public, lawyer says
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAttorney Yuval Zemer, who represents far-right activist Meir Ettinger, says authorities arrested his client to appease an Israeli public outraged by an arson attack that killed a Palestinian infant, and denies that his client had anything to do with that attack.
“There was no urgent need to arrest here, other than some kind of desire to show, ‘Here, we’re doing something, here, we’re arresting,'” Zemer tells Army Radio. “Of course, what is better than the number one most wanted target?”
