Rivlin says public atmosphere legitimizes harming Arab MKs

"“There exists in the public an atmosphere that legitimizes harming Israeli-Arab MKs”, Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin warned on Tuesday.

In a discussion with all heads of the parliament’s factions, Rivlin called on all MKs to refrain from voicing words that could be interpreted as incitement towards their Arab colleagues and legitimize harming them.

In addition, Rivlin revealed in the meeting that the Haifa Jewish underground also planned to assassinate the Chairman of the Hadash faction, MK Mohammad Barakeh. He told the MKs that the main suspect in the affair, Eliran Golan, planned to kill Barakeh by firing mortar shells at his house. According to Rivlin, underground members also spoke of their intention to assassinate MKs Azmi Bishara and Ahmed Tibi.

Mohammed Barakeh, who took part in the meeting, requested that the security around the threatened MKs be boosted and that their cars be equipped with alarm systems that would be connected to the Knesset Guard communication center. “I left the meeting with a terrible feeling that we, the Arab MKs, have become a clear and immediate target for assassins. There is no doubt the country is quickly becoming a racial state,” he said."

Kill those with whom you disagree and your problems are solved. Don't know why they didn't think of it sooner.
