Jews riot in Tiberias; Smotrich pans Jewish violence: ‘We are not like them!’
After rioting in Bat Yam, there are also reports of Jewish extremists rioting and attacking Arabs in Tiberias.
Channel 12 reports a vehicle was attacked by Jews, with one person lightly hurt by rocks. A policeman was also hurt while clashing with the rioters.
Far-right MK Bezalel Smotrich urges Jewish rioters to stop the violence.
“My Jewish brothers, stop!” he says. “We are not like them! We mustn’t come to this violence. Self-defense in the face of terror and rioters — yes; unprovoked violence and destruction of property — under no circumstances.”
