Andrea Mitchell Accuses Israel of ‘Inciting Violence’ by Shooting Terrorists

In an interview with Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer on Friday, MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell blasted the Israeli police for killing knife-wielding Palestinian activists.

“What about the possibility of excessive force?” she enquired.

Dermer sought to justify the killing, asking "if someone was coming at you with a knife, would you want the police officer to take out a knife and to try to stop him or would you want that police officer to shoot that person before he would attack you?”

Mitchell reponded: “Not shoot to kill.”

 “You are potentially inciting more violence because of these incidents and the way they are being perceived,” she said.
