Jewish Home MK compares Amona evacuation to rape

Jewish Home MK Bezalel Smotrich compares the evacuation of the illegal West Bank outpost of Amona to “a brutal rape.”

“The evacuation won’t be violent because the people aren’t violent, but it will hurt just like when something terrible happens, it hurts,” the right-wing lawmaker, who arrived at the scene of the illegal outpost near Ramallah, says. “When a woman is raped, it hurts. What they’re doing here is a brutal rape.”
