‘Facebook’ page issues assassination threat to Palestinian Knesset member who was on flotilla

Here is a call on facebook-- at a Hebrew page, which says that its author is located near Jerusalem-- to kill a woman, who has been identified to me as Haneen Zuabi, a member of Knesset of the Balad, Palestinian party, who was on the flotilla. The graphic from the facebook page is below. JPost says Zuabi has been given a bodyguard. Update: here is a screenshot of the page, which has been removed.

    Truly, utterly disgusting. Further proof (as if any was needed!!!) of the continuing moral degeneration of Zionism/Israeli society.

  2. Les says:

    The world knows that Zionism kills. So what else is new?

    • talss says:

      I think that the Gazans are addicted to killing, not the Israelis.
      The Gazans have been sending suicide bombers to Israel for years in order to kill Israeli civilians,
      they planet bombs to Israeli soldiers in order to kill,
      they launch rockets on Israeli cities in order to kill civilians,
      The Hamas himself kills Palestinians everyday with a nice amount, don’t forget the “Palestine square” incident or the “Al Qaida in Gaza incident ” – the Hamas just killed all of them without distinguish.

      So who is addicted to kiling?

  3. potsherd says:

    Israel assassinates. It assassinates its own. Israel is addicted to killing.

    Check out the videos of this brave lady’s performance at the Kenesset yesterday.

    I tip my hat to her for her steely viens.

    • munro says:

      Thanks Taxi. I hope Phil will embed these.

    • annie says:

      she’s impressive, i was watching her yesterday. as the days go on more and more political figures as well as the 60 or so journalists who were part of the flotilla will be released.

      they can’t stand anyone who defies their narrative. they will probably trump up charges against her as they did with the other palestinian israeli member of parliament who now resides in lebanon.

      • Walid says:

        I watched her tear the (Saudi-owned) al-Arabia TV interviewer to pieces when he asked her for her opinion about the armed activists having jumped the Israeli soldiers. She told him that insrtead of asking such questions, he should be asking what were the Israeli soldiers doing 120 miles from shore attacking a foreign ship. When he tried to sway the discussion back to his initial question, she cut him off by snapping at him that Arabic stations shouldn’t be asking this type of question but talking about the illegality of the Israeli assault and she rambled on for 3 minutes on how the ship was massively assaulted by the Israeli soldiers with guns firing and not letting the guy put in a word until he finally cut her and told her they were out of time. This lady is one heck of a fighter.

        • Julian says:

          She didn’t want to discuss it because she couldn’t deny the videos.
          Thank goodness those videos get showed constantly.

        • Avi says:

          The videos you refer to are meant to enforce the Israeli army’s narrative. The viewer is shown 10 seconds of fuzzy footage from a thermal camera (FLIR) out of nearly 4 hours.

          Either way, this entire red herring is irrelevant by definition.

          In international waters, Israel has NO jurisdiction whatsoever.

          In essence, it’s every man for himself. So, to whine like a little child about commandos being attacked is the height of Tzvi’ut – that’s Hebrew for blatant and unmitigated, in-your-face hypocrisy and chutzpah.

        • potsherd says:

          Thank the IDF censors who clipped out the parts of the videos that prove Israeli guilt.

          If Israel believed in truth, it would release all the videos, complete and unaltered.

      • Walid says:

        Annie, Azmi Bichara moves around a lot and on one day he’s in a country and on another he’s elsewhere but I think he calls Qatar home now as he’s a frequent guest on Jazeera’s live political shows out of Doha.

    • Chu says:

      It’s a good thing stoning is outlawed in the Knesset.

    • Shmuel says:

      Impressive indeed. For those unable to understand the Hebrew or read the Arabic subtitles, she spoke straight and to the point: The siege is immoral and illegal; the attack on the flotilla was a criminal act of piracy; repressing reports, evidence, film and photos is disgraceful; independent international commission of inquiry now.

      The Knesset speaker in the second clip is Reuven (Rubi) Rivlin. He did a good job (which his deputy in the first clip was unable to do).

  5. Shmuel says:

    Although the disgusting caricature implies assassination, the text calls for her “execution”. The location in Jerusalem is part of the sick joke. “Location: The Knesset, Jerusalem”.

    The text below the caricature reads: “An Arab woman who takes part in the flotilla to Gaza, hates the State [of Israel], supports terrorism, yet she sits in the Knesset?!?! Execute her immediately!”

  6. Sumud says:

    So much for Palestinian incitement.

    I recently entered the twilight zone of the settler world, see these political cartoons in the online settler rag Arutz Sheva:

    There’s about 50 going back by one artist, scary stuff. Paranoia about practically everybody and every issue, some obvious untruths and some ugly nasty stuff.

  7. Chu says:

    This was bound to happen, targeting the left.

    But who are the real monkeys in the zoo?
    They feel comfortable in their cage, so now they can all pump their chests together. Netanyahu of the Ashkenazi Orangutan tribe is likely afraid of Lieberman baboon tribe. It’s all nature channel now folks.

    Egypt should incorporate Gaza, and let the caged monkeys throw their shit at each other. It’s safer for humankind in the long run.

    I hope those of you on facebook will join me in reporting that page!

    It contains translation of an article that appeared in Maariv.

  10. Avi says:

    The perpetrators of this assassination threat are the kinds of people that get a slap on the wrist by Israel and the US.

    By the way, Obama should return his Nobel Peace Prize. He doesn’t deserve it, never has and never will.

  11. Interior Minister seeks to revoke Israeli Arab MK’s citizenship

    Israeli Arab MK Hanin Zuabi took part in Gaza aid flotilla, in what Eli Yishai calls a ‘premeditated act of treason’ under protection of parliamentary immunity.
    “In recent days,” Yishai wrote to Weinstein on Thursday, “Israel’s citizens have witnessed how an Israeli member of parliament, Hanin Zuabi, headed a group of terrorists who aimed to hurt Israel Defense Forces soldiers, under the protection of her parliamentary immunity.”

    “terrorists who aimed to hurt Israel Defense Forces soldiers”
    Poor little cute things!

  12. Avi says:

    Among some of the updates posted in Hebrew to that Facebook page:

    Execute MK Hanin Zo’abi – In the Knesset, too, they are [finally] waking up! Kudos to Minister Yishai! And continue to try and expel Zo’abi!

    Minister Yishai: Revoke the citizenship of MK Zo’abi (Walla News)

    Execute MK Hanin Zo’abi – Dear friends, tomorrow (Friday) the demonstration in support of Tzahal [IDF] will arrive to the city of Khadera. You are all invited to attend tomorrow at the Police plaza at 11:00.

    Petition: MK Zo’abi to prison.

    The nation of Israel unites! Join us for the sake of the state, for the sake of Tzahal [IDF] and for the sake of us all!!! The people of Israel unite against all enemies! The country unites to boost the national morale!

    P.S. This brings back a lot of fond memories. Now that’s the Israel I know. It’s about time. [/snark]

  13. Judy says:

    Apparently, Knesset resembled a steel cage match today.

    Look like Zo’abi almost got clocked!

    Kach and Kahane Chai are banned and now the whole Knesset becomes a Kahanist Gush.
