A heated confrontation erupted at a cabinet meeting on Sunday between Minister Orit Struck and Shin Bet chief David Zinni concerning recent incidents involving Jewish rioters in the West Bank. Zinni urged Struck to condemn the actions, to which she responded that she condemns them "all the time."
Struck argued that Palestinian attacks on shepherds, which endanger their lives, are not being adequately portrayed, contrasting them with the focus on settlers. She stated, "Palestinians attack shepherds, injure them and endanger their lives. You present it as if the Arabs are honey and sweet dew, and only the settlers are problematic. You should also cover these attacks, deal with them and talk about them."
Zinni countered that "Palestinians are not burning Jewish homes here. You are disconnected. We need to see condemnations and denunciations from all leadership. This harms the settlement enterprise and harms security." When Zinni pressed Struck on where she had condemned the actions, she replied, "On Reshet Bet, on Galatz, everywhere. Just listen."
