Member of Knesset Hanin Zoabi reacted to Monday's sharp censure by the Knesset Ethics Committee by saying, "This is a political committee which cannot tell the difference between legitimate criticism and incitement and physical violence."

The Joint Arab List lawmaker continued, "The decision of the Ethics Committee to be easy on the MKs against whom I filed complaints, is a green light to bullying, predatory and violent conduct. The permit granted by the Ethics Committee for bullying and direct incitement to murder which has been conducted around me for many long years, dangerous and anti-ethical."
