Altri giovani avevano scritto : "Morte ai sionisti"
MK Moti Yogev della Casa ebraica ha invitato la polizia ad "assicurare alla giustizia" i manifestanti che hanno dipinto la svastica:
"Chi scrive morte ai sionisti' e disegna una svastica sui muri di
una sinagoga si esclude dal resto di Israele"

Mercoledì scorso, Yogev aveva visitato i manifestanti per dare loro il suo sostegno.

Un portavoce dell' avamposto inizialmente ha affermato che nessuna delle persone all'interno della sinagoga era di Amona.
Tuttavia, ha poi riconosciuto che un certo numero di residenti, come il rabbino dell' avamposto, Yair Frank e il leader della comunità
Avichai Boaran, erano dentro la sinagoga al momento degli scontri "con l'intenzione di convincere [i manifestanti] ad uscire senza violenza."

The 60 youths who made a final
stand by barricading themselves in the Amona outpost synagogue on
Thursday left behind a scene of devastation in the place of worship,
including swastikas and other graffiti targeting Israeli police on the
walls.
As
security forces breached the barriers that had been erected to keep
them out, the protesters set off fire extinguishers and threw rocks,
bottles and other objects at the security forces, before being dragged
out. Some 17 police officers and several protesters were injured in the
ensuing clashes.
Inside the synagogue the floor was strewn with
tires, old food wrappings, puddles of water and other debris. In some
places, holes had been punched in the walls.
Bookshelves filled with prayer books and
Jewish texts had been pushed up against the windows and used as
barricades. Many books were knocked to the floor, lying soaked in water
and mud.
The walls were smeared with dirt and daubed with graffiti against the security forces, including a swastika.
One drawing, which parodied the Israel Police
logo, featured the Nazi symbol and changed the name to “Ishmael Police,”
a reference to the biblical character, the son of the patriarch
Abraham, traditionally believed to be the ancestor of Arabs.

Others said “Death to the Zionists” and “Zionists, wait, your day will come.”
While some graffiti was in protest, other
images appeared to just be juvenile vandalism, including “the nation
wants Milky,” referring to a popular chocolate and whipped cream
dessert..
Jewish Home MK Moti Yogev called on police to “bring to justice” the protesters who painted the swastika.
“Whoever writes ‘death to Zionists’ and draws a
swastika on the walls of a synagogue excludes himself from the rest of
Israel,” Yogev said in a statement.

“It is a disgrace that should be investigated, and the criminal should be brought to justice,” he said.
On Wednesday, Yogev had visited the protesters to give them his support.
In total, 57 people, the majority of them
security personnel, were lightly injured during the Amona evacuation on
Wednesday and Thursday and taken to Jerusalem hospitals, the Magen David
Adom ambulance service said. Of them, 42 were police and border guards
and 15 were protesters, MDA said.
The injuries ranged from hypothermia to light
bruises. A police officer suffered chemical burns after a liquid was
thrown in his face. Another officer’s shoulder was dislocated during the
clashes with protesters, a Hadassah Hospital spokesperson said.

Several protesters were also treated, most for bruises and some for mild hypothermia, the hospital said.
Several of the youths who were pulled out of the synagogue later broke windows on the bus they were put on and tried to escape.
A spokesperson for the outpost initially said
that none of the people inside the synagogue were from Amona. However,
he later acknowledged that a number of Amona residents, including the
outpost’s rabbi, Yair Frank, and community leader Avichai Boaran, were
inside the synagogue at the time of the clashes.
He said that they were only there “with the intention of convincing [the protesters] to leave without violence.”
