Earlier this month, Knesset MK Hanin Zoabi said that Jews are not a people and therefore have no right to self-determination, although Palestinians, mysteriously, do.
That may not be the most outrageous thing she said this month.
Over the weekend, at a symposium on the Balfour Declaration held in the Tubas on the West Bank, Zoabi said, “We [Arabs] are the legitimate owners of the homeland, and the Nakba is a product of the Balfour Declaration, which expelled the Palestinians from their lands, and the right of return is a Palestinian demand that can not be waived.”
She isn’t calling for a Palestinian state on the territories. She is saying that the state whose parliament she is a member of is illegitimate altogether and should be replaced with another Arab state.
Zoabi was suspended from Knesset for six months back in 2014. Why she wasn’t banned altogether is unexplainable. No nation in the world would tolerate a lawmaker openly advocating the destruction of the state.
We have lots of ideas, but we need more resources to be even more effective. Please donate today to help get the message out and to help defend Israel.
