It’s a longstanding tradition in journalism that for your first piece on page A1 you are given the aluminum printing plate. I just got mine today for a photo they ran in August. Thanks to Jeffrey Furticella, Greg Kendall-Ball and @dougmillsnyt at the @nytimes for making this happen.

נפגשתי היום עם היידי לוין, הצלמת שהותקפה באכזריות בידי פורעים יהודים ביהודה ושומרון. ישבתי מולה, יחד עם ח"כ גלעד קריב, ושמעתי על רגעי האימה. על הפחד הנורא שלא תצא משם בחיים. על המכות, על הדם, על איך שהם הפקירו אותה פצועה בשטח. אישה בת 65. מול חבורה של פורעים יהודים אכולי שנאה. הלב נשבר. והדם רותח. בחסות נתניהו-סמוטריץ הפכנו ממדינה של חברת מופת, למדינה שבה יהודים מסוגלים לבצע מעשה אלימות אכזרי כזה. והטרור היהודי הזה מסכן את כולנו. את חיילי צה״ל, את ביטחון ישראל, את מעמדנו בעולם ואת עתידנו הכלכלי. אם לא נעצור אותו, כולנו נשלם מחיר כבד. הבטתי היום בעיניה של היידי והבטחתי לה שבממשלה הבאה אקח על עצמי באופן אישי את האחריות להחזיר את החוק והסדר ליהודה ושומרון. נילחם בטרור הפלסטיני ובטרור היהודי בנחישות, ביד ברזל ובלי שום הנחות. נייבש את מקורות המימון, נפנה את מוקדי האלימות ונחזיר לכוחות הביטחון את מלוא הגיבוי לפעול נגד כל מי שמטיל אימה ופוגע בחפים מפשע. שירתי את מדינת ישראל 38 שנים. אני יודע מה המשמעות של להגן על בני אדם. אני יודע מהי אחריות לביטחונם. אצלנו אין ולא תהיה מציאות שבה יהודים מטילים אימה בשם עליונות יהודית, ומכתימים את המדינה שבנינו כאן. אנחנו נחזיר את הביטחון. נחזיר את החוק והסדר. ונגן על ישראל יהודית, דמוקרטית וציונית, שמכבדת את חייו ואת כבודו של כל אדם. זו ההבטחה שנתתי לה היום. וזו ההתחייבות שלי לכל אזרחי ישראל.
