It is no secret that the Internationalist Socialist League does not support Hadash’s position, which is bourgeois pacifism. However, the attack on Ayman by all the parties that support the war on Ayman is an attack on the remnants of Zionist democracy, which is characterized by ethnocracy. Today, the Knesset Committee approved the dismissal of Ayman Odeh, Committee Chair Ofir Katz stating that he is supposed to rot in prison.
All representatives of the coalition parties voted in favor of his impeachment, along with those from Yisrael Beiteinu, Yesh Atid, and the National Camp. The impeachment process will reach the plenum within 3 weeks, where a majority of 90 Knesset members will be required to complete the impeachment process from the Knesset
Committee Chair Ofir Katz: “In a civilized country, Ayman Odeh is supposed to rot in prison and be stateless. I very much hope that there is a future and that the national camp will not make a U-turn and play a double game when it comes to the plenum. Ayman Odeh has to get out of here.”
Knesset member Pnina Tamano Shata, chair of the National Camp faction, in a debate on the dismissal of Ayman Odeh: “One of the grounds for the dismissal of a Knesset member is incitement to racism, and I tell you that anti-Semitism is like racism, and anyone who calls out ‘Gaza will win’ during a war is not worthy of sitting in the Knesset. Let him decide whether he is Gazan or Israeli. Because even about the October 7 massacre, he said it was a “deep moral offense.” Before you accuse the State of Israel of massacre and genocide, the October 7, in which they murdered, raped, kidnapped Israelis, this is the only genocide that happened here.”
Who are you, the supporters of the massacre of the Palestinian people, who have eliminated 100,000 Palestinians in Gaza, who will open your dirty mouth? When Ephir Katz speaks of a civilized state, what is he referring to? To the Third Reich?
Less than a week ago, last Tuesday, the Knesset committee discussed a request to terminate the membership of Knesset member Ayman Odeh (Hadash), mainly following a tweet he published in which he expressed joy over the release of the abductees and prisoners and added that “from here we must free both peoples from the yoke of the occupation.”
Down with the Zionist Knesset!
For the Constituent Assembly, which includes all the Palestinians, including the refugees!
For one democratic socialist state governed by a workers’ government supported by the Fallahin!
