Settler leader Yossi Dagan prevented from speaking at Tzeela Gez’s funeral after her sister tells him not to talk politics

In remarks at the funeral of West Bank terror victim Tzeela Gez this afternoon, Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan suggested that the government had failed to act to prevent her murder, and was cut off by Gez’s sister, who told him not to make the funeral political.

“We need to tell the truth,” said Dagan, asserting that the writing had been on the wall for the terror attack. “We warned, and we shouted, and this was the fourth shooting attack on the same route, in the same place.”

“We came to Israel to live here — not to be sitting ducks,” he exclaimed, demanding to know “why the village of murderers, Bruqin (the Palestinian village close to the site of the terror attack), is still standing?”

At this point, Gez’s sister Shaked cut him off.

“I don’t want politics!” she shouted through tears. “I want love for my sister! Let us finish with love for my sister!”

In response, Dagan insists that he is “respecting your sister,” to which Shaked shoots back: “No! No, you’re not.”

She then tells Dagan to “get down off the podium, please.”
