Members of the progressive Peace Now group are protesting against far-right MK Itamar Ben Gvir’s visit to the scene of Thursday’s terror attack in Tel Aviv.
“Tel Aviv says no to the Kahanists who dance on the blood!” the group says in a statement, referring to Ben Gvir, a member of the ultra-hardline Religious Zionism party and a disciple of the late extremist rabbi Meir Kahane.
“We showed up tonight to make it clear to the provocateur from Kiryat Arba that we do not want instigators and supporters of terrorism in our city,” Peace Now adds.
Ben Gvir tweeted a photo from the site of the attack with a Bible passage translating to “Earth, do not cover my blood.”
