Israeli police question suspect over incitement to violence in posts about Ohana
Israeli police questioned a 27-year-old Tel Aviv resident suspected of incitement to violence over social media posts directed against Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana. The man was summoned to the Tel Aviv South police station, The Jerusalem Post reports.
According to police, the suspect was released under restrictive conditions after questioning. The investigation is ongoing.
Posts after Ohana’s message
The investigation began after Ohana, a Likud lawmaker, said on social media on Tuesday that he had accompanied his children on their first day of school. According to him, on the way to school he saw stickers with his image painted over in red and bearing the words “No forgiveness.”
More current news is available on the UA.News Telegram channel Telegram.
Ohana said that his children, Ella and David, were starting sixth grade that morning. In his post, he called the camp that, according to him, could have ruined his children’s first day of school violent and disgraceful.
Suspect’s response
In response to Ohana’s post, the Tel Aviv resident wrote that placing the stickers was not necessarily the best service for the “camp.” At the same time, he said that all 64, in his view, should be considered deserving of death, and wished them to suffer for the rest of their lives.
The commenter also addressed Ohana, saying that he sympathizes with people who, according to the post’s author, had no sympathy for the hostages.
