Attorney David Petar stated Monday evening that left-wing protests are fostering an 'anarchy of lawbreaking' by granting legitimacy to public order violations under the banner of free speech, according to the source.
Attorney David Petar, a prominent right-wing legal commentator, criticized left-wing demonstrations in a Telegram post on Monday evening, arguing they constitute 'anarchy of lawbreaking' by using the banner of free speech to justify public order violations. The statement follows a series of controversial protests in recent weeks, including those related to hostage deal demands and other political issues. Petar's remarks echo earlier criticism by right-wing figures who have accused the protesters of exceeding legal boundaries. The post, shared via the source, did not specify which particular protest prompted the comment, but it fits into a broader ongoing debate about protest limits in Israel. The Zioneer has previously covered similar critiques by other figures, including police sources defending their tactics and Yair Golan's defense of protesters' rights.
