Jewish Home MK: Attacking security forces is desecration of God’s name

Jewish Home MK Moti Yogev condemns protesters who attacked police during the evacuation at the synagogue at Amona, saying that such acts were a “desecration of God’s name.”

“The central question is whether an act sanctifies God’s name or desecrates God’s name,” he says, according to Walla.

“The demolition of the Amona settlement is undoubtedly a desecration of God’s name and must be protested. But raising a hand against a soldier or policeman, and the violent behavior of some in the synagogue against our brothers the police and the sanctity of a synagogue, are a desecration of God’s name.”
