The Knesset members who are behind the conference on "Children under Occupation" to be held on Monday in the Knesset, are attacking the harsh criticism they have been subjected to for the past 24 hours.
"The attempts to intimidate by the right and Lapid, its pale shadow, will not weaken our hand," said Member of Knesset Ayman Odeh, MK Michal Rozin, MK Ksenia Svetlova and MK Dov Khenin. They added, "The occupation harms Palestinian children and threatens the future of Israeli children. It is our duty, as a society which wants life, to discuss this. Any attempt to silence us and hide the occupation will not work."
