Likud coalition whip Miki Zohar hinted on Thursday that Israeli politicians who are so fiercely condemning the violence in Washington on Wednesday should consider condemning anti-Netanyahu protesters in Israel as well.
“A question that’s bothering me,” Zohar wrote on Twitter. “Which is worse and more harmful to democracy? A violent attack by American citizens on the Capitol in Washington or a violent attack by Israeli citizens on the Prime Minister’s Residence in Jerusalem?
“Objectivity is an important trait. I suggest to the media and to our political opponents to try to adopt it from time to time.”
Anti-Netanyahu demonstrators have been protesting outside the prime minister’s residence for months, with protests often involving violent scuffles with police officers as they try to keep the crowd from getting too close to the prime minister’s official residence.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu condemned the violent onslaught on the US Capitol during a press conference with US Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin on Thursday.

Which is worse and more harmful to democracy? A violent attack by American citizens on the Capitol in Washington or a violent attack by Israeli citizens on the Prime Minister’s Residence in Jerusalem The answer to your question is Zohar is short & simple, and I’m sure is the response you were seeking:- The annual משכב-זכר march every year in the holy city of ירושלים is infinitely worse, than the above 2 combined.
The Israeli left is great at imitating the stupid rioters in the USA. Just like the rioters haven’t got a brain so too the Israeli left has no brain….
