Member of Knesset Tzipi Hotovely has responded to the rape of a seven-year-old girl, attributed to a Palestinian Authority resident, by writing on Twitter, "Rape is the murder of the soul. In the civilized legal world, the raper of a seven-year-old girl by an animal in the form of a man with friends and collaborators would be condemned to the severity of murder. Sexual terror on a little girl - how vile can our enemies be?"
