Druckman, in a video statement on Saturday night, added, “There is no incitement here.”
“It’s inconceivable that this [would be seen] as a [call for] physical violence or even verbal [violence]. Rather [the government should be prevented] only through democratic means,” he said.
In an extraordinary statement Saturday, the head of the Shin Bet internal security service Nadav Argaman warned of rising incitement and hate speech on social media, and the danger that it will spark political violence, as the coalition that aims to oust incumbent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appears increasingly likely to be sworn in.
