MK Ofir Sofer (Yamina) has expressed his amazement at the manner in which politicians and journalists from the left wing have proven so eager to eulogize Palestinian leader Saeb Erekat, who died on Tuesday following coronavirus infection.
“Saeb Erekat praised terrorists, promoted boycotts against the State of Israel, and was one of the foremost figures pushing the ‘Jenin massacre’ blood libel,” he noted. “How anyone can bring himself to express even a syllable of praise for this man is beyond me.”
MK Betzalel Smotrich (Yamina) added that, “I find it impossible to comprehend this phenomenon of Israelis who profess to feel grief at the death of this anti-Semite who supported terrorism and was one of the leaders in the ongoing battle against the State. They have truly lost their way, lost their identities, and adopted distorted moral values. But the truth is that this started a long time ago already when they embraced him even as he was playing a double game – continuing to incite toward terrorism against Israeli citizens while professing to pursue peace.”
