The real question is why this is news, for Arab MK Hanin Zoabi has labeled IDF soldiers “murderers” on numerous occasions, yet efforts to exclude her from the last Knesset elections by the Central Election Committee were overturned by the High Court of Justice.

The scene in the Knesset Education Committee on Monday, 27 Shevat was one of confrontation, as Zoabi referred to IDF soldiers as “murderers” once again. Committee Chair MK Yaakov Margi of Shas got into a shouting match with Zoabi too, with others shouting back and forth as well until Zoabi was ousted from the committee session.
