‘Why do you hate us?’ settler leader yells at opposition chief during tour of Ofra

The head of the Samaria Regional Council in the West Bank verbally attacks opposition leader Tzipi Livni during a tour in the settlement of Ofra, shouting: “You hate us!”

The incident occurs during a tour by members of the Knesset’s Security and Foreign Affairs Committee ofthe community near the scene of last week’s shooting attack that killed a newborn baby.

Yossi Dagan slams Livni for saying settlers were “using” the issue of security to further their ideology.

“Why do you hate me? Why do you hate us? What have we done to you?” Dagan shouts at Livni. “You would never speak like that about residents of communities near the Gaza Strip or about anyone else.”

While other officials tell Dagan to “calm down,” he continues to rail against Livni, saying that she “needs to votes of the extreme left, that’s her base.”
