Extreme-left activist Shulamit Aloni, who formerly served as Education Minister, told the director of the Arab paper Ma al-Adath that Defense Minister Ehud Barak should be put on trial. In an interview to be printed Friday, Aloni called Barak “arrogant” and “The most dangerous person in the State of Israel,” saying Barak had committed “war crimes” by calling for a temporary decrease in the supply of Israeli electricity and fuel to Gaza. If Israel does not put Barak on trial, Aloni said, the International Court in the Hague should.
Aloni also mentioned a recent lecture she gave to IDF officers in which she compared them to terrorist killers. Referring to terrorists with “blood on their hands” who have killed Israelis, Aloni asked “Why are you making a big fuss over people with blood on their hands? Each one of you has blood on your hands. They throw bombs, and you throw bombs.” Terrorists’ blood “is just as red” as that of Israelis, she said.
