Original Social Media Post

""Unlike you, I was out in the field. I gave an order to shoot a terrorist, with hands cuffed behind his back, in the head." Yesterday at the Knesset, Mickey Levy, a member of so-called "centrist" party Yesh Atid, tried to outflank Jewish Power members from the right, by describing how he ordered the cold-blooded murder of a handcuffed Palestinian, while serving as the Jerusalem District Commander of the Israeli Police during the Al-Aqsa Intifada. This event happened in 2002. Despite being a confessed murdered, Levy continued his career, became the Israeli Police attaché in the US, and later a Member of Knesset, Chairman of the State Audit Committee, Speaker of the Knesset, and Deputy Minister of Finance. Before serving as the Jerusalem District Police Commander, Levy also served as commander of the Judea and Samaria District. In the same year he ordered the murder of a handcuffed Palestinian, Levy received the "Knight for Quality Government" award from the Movement for Quality Government in Israel and the Channel 2 "Person of the Year" award." - Source
