Member of Knesset Isawi Farij (Meretz) attacked, Tuesday, the proposal by Opposition Leader Yitzhak Herzog not to broadcast the speeches of Knesset member Hanin Zoabi (Joint Arab List). Zoabi caused an uproar in the Knesset last week when she referred to Israeli commandos who boarded theTurkish ship Mavi Marmara in 2010 as murderers.
Farij said, "Herzog is no more than a useful idiot in the service of (Prime Minister Binyamin) Netanyahu and the right." He called Herzog incompetent, saying, rather than fighting for Israeli democracy, Herzog is joining Netanyahu and Ministers Naftali Bennett and Avigdor Liberman in a cabinet of bulldozers who seek to destroy it.
