Arab-Israeli lawmaker says kidnappers are not terrorists
JERUSALEM (JTA) An Arab-Israeli Knesset member said the kidnappers of three Israeli teenagers are not terrorists.
They are people that cannot see any way to change their reality, and they are forced to use these means until Israeli society wises up a bit and sees and feels the suffering of the other, Hanin Zoabi of the Balad party said Tuesday in an interview with Tel Aviv Radio.
Zoabi participated in the May 2010 flotilla to break Israels naval blockade of the Gaza Strip and was punished by the Knesset Ethics Committee for her actions. She was aboard the Mavi Marmara, the ship on which nine Turkish passengers were killed in clashes with Israeli commandos.
