Opposition MKs rap PM at near-empty emergency session on extremism



http://www.timesofisrael.com/opposition-attacks-netanyahu-at-nearly-empty-emergency-meeting/

Opposition lawmakers raked the government over the coals for allowing Jewish extremists to run rampant within Israeli society, speaking at an emergency session in the Knesset called after two deadly attacks last week.

Knesset members also rapped coalition lawmakers for being largely absent from the Knesset meeting, and criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for what they said was his silence on the issue.

The session was punctuated by shouting matches that echoed through the largely empty plenum between opposition MKs and the few coalition members that showed up to the session.

...

Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan, the sole government representative present at the meeting, criticized the opposition for being one-sided and reacting only to attacks against Arabs and not to those against Jews.


This is how the Israeli government really feels about Jewish terrorism against Arabs--"meh." People who don't want to change aren't going to change.

loke human rights champions, are being shown for the bullshitters they really are.

"Little snakes!"

"The soul of a Jew is superior!"

"I've killed many terrorists!"

"There will be mo Palestinian state'l

All these horrific statements have been made by the same ghouls that now want to pretend that they are human rights champions.

This is no different than the GOP that pretends to be human when a gunman wastes school children but the ignore the same trajedy in favor of the NRA.

They're all fuckers.

purportedly caring about this more than Palestinian terror.

After the Iran deal (hopefully) goes through, they'll get the medicine they deserve at the UN.
