Voices growing in Israel against govt policies tolerating extremists’ violent acts

Voices in Israel have grown, expressing rejection to Israeli officials’ acts that tolerate and back violence and riots committed by far-right extremist activists, considering these acts as defying Israeli legal system, Anadolu Agency reports.

At least one Israeli minister and Knesset (Israel’s parliament) members were seen among the crowds that stormed into two military bases to protest the arrest of soldiers accused of gang-raping a Palestinian detainee.

Besides Israeli opposition groups and figures rejecting and condemning such acts, Israeli senior journalists and writers also protested the acts of the far-right Israelis and the support they receive from officials and government members, as well as the reported sexual abuses against Palestinian detainees.
