MK Haneen Zoabi (Balad) caused a storm on Wednesday when she told a radio interviewer that those who kidnapped three teenagers in Gush Etzion last week “are not terrorists.”
“Even if I don’t agree with them, they are people who don’t see any way to change their reality and are forced to use these means until Israel sobers up a bit,” she told Radio Tel Aviv.
Later yesterday, at a meeting of the Knesset Committee on the Status of Women, committee chairman Aliza Lavie (Yesh Atid) asked how she could have dared say such a thing and Zoabi lashed back, saying, “Arrogant! Shut your mouth. You don’t deserve to be a committee chairman. What are you, a policeman? You’re a racist!”
At the same time, three youths from Nazareth were arrested Wednesday on suspicion of threatening a relative of theirs, who is also related to Zoabi, for expressing support for the kidnapped boys.
