MK Zoabi: Israeli Soldiers Worse than ISIL

Israeli lawmaker Haneen Zoabi said there is no difference between Israeli soldiers and terrorists of the ISIL and that both are “armies of murderers with no boundaries and red lines.”

“They (ISIL) kill one person at a time with a knife and the IDF at the press of a button [kills] dozens of Palestinians,” Zoabi said in a Sunday interview with Channel 2 Online.

The Arab member of the Israeli Knesset added that an Israeli pilot is no less a terrorist than a person who takes a knife and commits a beheading.

 “In Iraq and Syria, they (ISIL terrorists) have their picture taken with a knife and here they (Israeli soldiers) have their picture taken with dead bodies and with their bombardments and they also laugh,” Zoabi said.

Zoabi went on to say that “The M-16 [rifles] and the bombardments kill more than a knife.”

The comments caused an uproar across the Israeli political spectrum, with Likud MK Miri Regev calling Zoabi “a dangerous enemy of Israel who belongs in jail.”
