Bennett’s Rhetoric Motivated Protests

No mention of any of the rhetoric by former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett that motivated the protests? Such as:

“I have killed lots of Arabs in my life, and there’s no problem with that.” (Source: The Jerusalem Post)

“They [Palestinian children who breach the border fence] are not children — they are terrorists. We are fooling ourselves.” (Source: The Times of Israel)

To a Palestinian member of Knesset: “When you were still swinging from trees, we had a Jewish state here.” (Source: BBC)

“I will do everything in my power, forever, to fight against a Palestinian state being founded in the Land of Israel.” (Source: The New Yorker)

It’s important context to understand this story.
