"I am fully aware that what I write will upset those I am pointing at. They will leverage the tools provided by the prevailing public atmosphere in the State of Israel today to try to silence me. However, I cannot remain silent… The term 'Hilltop Youth' has lost all semblance of meaning. We are dealing with the 'Horror Youth,' operating in areas where the State of Israel holds security responsibility. If we do not act immediately to put an end to these displays of violence and lynchings, we will all bear responsibility for the consequences."
(Former Prime Minister of Israel, Ehud Olmert)
