Yossi Schwartz ISL (RCIT section in Israel/Occupied Palestine), 13.12.2024
While we are very critical of the positions of Hadash the Stalinist front that in Gaza, they fail to stand for the military victory of Hamas, and in Syria for standing against the revolution, we oppose the Zionist monsters who call to punish MK Odeh and already removed MK Kasif from the Knesset for six months. The attack by the Zionists is an attack on all the Palestinians who oppose the genocide by the Zionist monster.
“After Knesset member Ayman Odeh said the day before yesterday (Tuesday) in the Knesset that “kidnapping a one-year-old baby, an 88-year-old woman, murdering people who are dancing – this is primarily a very, very, very deep moral injury. At the same time, I believe that every struggling nation has the right to struggle against the occupier; I believe in it.” MK Almog Cohen and Idan Roll appealed to the ethics committee, demanding a heavy disciplinary punishment on him. MK Cohen wrote: “His outrageous statement and the danger of MK Odeh is out of place, especially these days when we are waging war on 7 fronts.”[i]
“Cohen also wrote, “Let us remind MK Odeh that this war was forced upon us in light of the barbaric behavior of Hamas terrorists, the State of Israel and the IDF soldiers are not conquerors, and a statement of this type could encourage domestic terrorism as well as incite the West Bank again and act against our soldiers.” Cohen demands that the committee discuss the case seriously and impose the maximum penalty against MK Odeh.”[ii]
