Al-Tibi: Bin Ghafir grew up chanting “Death to the Arabs”
On Sunday, the Arab member of the Israeli Knesset, Ahmed al-Tibi, attacked the so-called extremist national security minister, Itamar Ben Gvir, against the backdrop of the wave of violence witnessed by the Palestinian community inside the occupied territories.
Al-Tibi said in statements to the Hebrew Radio 103, that Ben Gvir grew up memorizing for many years the saying “death to the Arabs”, and now the Arabs are dying before his eyes, and I do not think that he sees what is happening for him as a failure, because he is a factor of chaos.
And he considered that the Israeli government is able to stop the wave of violence, but it does not, pointing out that the general thinking of the Arab public is that there is an official decision that this chaos remains in Arab society and that they must deal with preserving their lives and not with other issues. This is what the Commissioner said, that the mentality of the Arabs is to kill each other.
Regarding Ben Gvir's statements about the settlers' right to freedom of movement in the West Bank, which is more important than the Palestinians' freedom of movement, Tibi said: "I translated his words and sent them to the world, because it is tantamount to acknowledging the existence of apartheid, and there are many who do and preserve this reality, not only Ben Gvir, this government And all its members support this situation."
