Q&A: The Removal of Knesset Member Ayman Odeh
The Removal of Knesset Member Ayman Odeh
Question
Hello Rabbi,
What is your opinion on the removal of Knesset Member Ayman Odeh בעקבות his statements:
"I am happy about the release of the hostages and the prisoners. From here, we must free both peoples from the burden of the occupation. We are all free people."
‘Gaza Will Win’
The Knesset’s legal adviser agreed that this was only a single statement, which does not meet the evidentiary threshold required for termination of tenure.
Best regards,
Answer
I don’t know exactly what this is about. I don’t follow it. What you quoted here seems to me entirely within the bounds of freedom of speech. Even the words of that idiot sensation-chaser, Israel Frey, who was arrested today for expressing joy over the deaths of the five soldiers, are within the bounds of freedom of speech.
