’Israeli’ War Minister to Oust Arab MK

Local Editor

In response to the Knesset Member's Aiman Udeh's speaking at a memorial for Yasser Arafat, the Zionist war minister posted on his Facebook account that he'll work to remove him from the Knesset and send him to Ramallah.

A memorial ceremony was held on Thursday in Ramallah for Arafat, which was attended by Udeh [Joint List], who delivered a speech.

Soon after, "Israeli" war minister Avigdor Lieberman [Yisrael Beytenu] attacked the MK on his Facebook page.

Lieberman wrote, "He's not willing to attend Peres's funeral in Jerusalem [al-Quds], but he'll make a speech in Arafat's memory. We'll continue to act until he will no longer be a member of Knesset in Jerusalem [al-Quds], but at most a member of the Palestinian Council in Ramallah."

Udeh responded, "I took part in the memorial to transmit a message of peace and hope, but for the minister of incitement and hatred, such messages aren't heard."

The MK added, "Lieberman wants to strip citizenship from the entire Arab public, so he looks for an opportunity to incite against us, but we're here to stay, in Umm al-Fahm, in Haifa, in Rahat, and also in the Knesset."

A month and a half ago, after members of the Joint List boycotted Shimon Peres's funeral, Lieberman proposed that all members of the coalition should in turn boycott Arab MKs when they speak in the Knesset.
