"Huwara needs to be wiped out"

Smotrich, Mar 2023, days after a settler pogrom burned the town of Huwara; he later partially walked it back after US condemnation.

What it signals

A cabinet minister endorsing the destruction of a named civilian town — incitement from the top, which is why settler violence keeps rising: it's answered with portfolios, not prosecutions.

How to answer

Use it whenever 'fringe extremists' comes up: the man who said it controls the budget and, via a Defense Ministry post, civilian administration of the West Bank.
