Speaking at the Yerushalayim Unity Prize ceremony, Herzog warned of what he described as a dangerous wave of lawlessness and extremism.
“We are witnessing a terrible wave of violence carried out by an anarchistic mob — acts that defile and violate every basic moral, legal, and Jewish norm,” Herzog declared.
The president continued with an unusually forceful rebuke, saying, “We must not accept the brutality emerging from the fringes of society that threatens all of us. Our nation is a magnificent people with tremendous strengths, but we must establish red lines. I stand here and say clearly: unity begins with humanity.”
Herzog also revealed details of recent conversations he held with senior IDF commanders serving in Yehuda and Shomron.
“I heard from a group of senior commanders in Yehuda and Shomron — who are thwarting terror in the region with tremendous success — that there are days when they are forced to spend most of their time dealing with criminal anarchists,” he said.
Later in his remarks, Herzog appeared to reference the public uproar surrounding footage distributed by Ben-Gvir concerning the treatment of activists from the Gaza flotilla.
“We are being exposed to barbaric actions by a handful of people who think that detainees, suspects, or those under investigation have no human rights whatsoever. Our sources teach us: beloved is man, for he was created in the image of God,” Herzog stated.
Ben-Gvir quickly fired back at the president’s comments.
“A president who calls hundreds of thousands of citizens of the State of Israel beasts is not worthy of being president. Period,” the minister responded.

Who cares what this goy, Herzog, has to say. He is an irrelevant disgrace.
If he was saying something that your types could use as propaganda for its cause they would care very much about what he says. Apparently this does not do so.
Let him call out the real extremist -anarchists kaplanists in Tel Aviv. Feh.
The fringe of society of G-d’s Jewish land are those at the edge of society – those who’ve fallen off the Torah path. “We must not accept the brutality emerging from the fringes of society, the Jewish-Goyim like Herzog, that threatens all of us.”
He didn’t have to say “Nationalist Violence”. All he had to say is ‘violence’ and we’d all know he means on the right. He NEVER criticizes the left – because he is a leftist.
I don’t remember a president of Israel blabbing as much as this guy about everything. Your job is window dressing , remember.
Police files prove there is more crime in one neighborhood of Tel Aviv than in all of Yehudah and Shomron.
This fact has been publicized in Eretz Yisrael for a while now by Matan Peleg, strategical advisor for the right-wing movements and former CEO of the “Im Tirtzu” organization.
