Israel’s deputy Knesset speaker calls for killing ‘subhuman’ Palestinians

Israeli Deputy Speaker Nissim Vaturi has called for the killing of all Palestinian men.

Vaturi described Palestinians in Gaza as “subhuman”, adding that no one in the world wants them.

He added that children and women should be separated, and adults should be killed.

Vaturi also alleged that the international community recognises that “the people of Gaza are not welcome anywhere, and everyone is pushing them towards Israel.”

Vaturi also called for the widescale destruction of Jenin, which is currently under a brutal Israeli military siege, with tanks being sent into the West Bank city and refugee camp yesterday.

“We will soon turn Jenin into Gaza,” he said.

Vaturi has previously argued that Israel is dealing with Gaza’s population “too leniently”, in spite of its 15-month genocidal war in which 48,300 Palestinians were killed, the vast majority women and children.

This is not the first time Israeli officials have called for the killing of Palestinians.

Far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has repeatedly called for the killing of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.

Similarly, Rabbi Eliyahu Mali previously urged the killing of all Palestinians in Gaza, citing his interpretations of Jewish law.
