Speaking to Reshet Bet Radio, chairman of the Ra'am (United Arab List) Party, Mansour Abbas discussed Tuesday's terror attack in Be'er Sheva.
"From previous years' experience and based on recent events, we need to be prepared at this period of time. The attack was carried out by a criminal and Arab society condemns it," said Abbas, adding: "Whoever committed the crime must pay the price - and he did. People must put a stop to the cycle of hatred."
"[The right] criticize the government. A Knesset member unfortunately sitting 3-4 seats of me accuses me of being a terrorist and calls for "death to terrorists" - that is for my own death. There's a big difference between...calling for someone's death], and the actual efforts made by the government," he concluded.
