How do you solve a problem like Zoabi?

Joint (Arab) List MK Hanin Zoabi, who took part in the ill-fated Mavi Marmara voyage, gets headlines across the board for causing a stir in the Knesset Wednesday by calling the Israeli soldiers who stormed the Gaza blockade-running ship in 2010 “murderers.” Her comments roused several members of Knesset from their seats, prompting them to charge toward the podium in outrage. After the dust settled, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu joined the chorus of criticism, saying he was checking the legal possibility of ejecting her from parliament.

“Zoabi’s contempt” is what Yedioth Ahronoth calls the episode on its Thursday front page. In its typical fashion, Israel Hayom quotes nobody in particular in its front page headline, which reads: “Zoabi exaggerated, the time has come to dismiss her from the Knesset.” Haaretz plays up both aspects with its headline: “Zoabi: The soldiers who stormed the flotilla are murderers; Netanyahu calls to dismiss her.”

Whereas the tabloids see red and their opinion columnists write at length about how the inflammatory Arab lawmaker must be sent packing, the left-leaning daily appears to care less.

Uncharacteristically, Dan Margalit’s op-ed in Israel Hayom, in which he says Zoabi “is not a traitor, she’s the enemy,” is punted to the back pages, perhaps because he only managed to scrape together a couple hundred words instead of his usual longwinded blathering.

“She never turned her back on her violent values and anti-Semitic intentions and her desire to see the Jewish state soaked in blood,” he charges.

While Margalit proceeds to rake Zoabi over coals and broken glass for her “intolerable remarks,” he cautions that ejecting her from parliament must be done “with a clear head and not a roiling stomach.”

“An extreme punishment will be broadcast to the radical left abroad as a clampdown on [free] speech and another decline in Israeli democracy,” he says. Running against the Likud party (perhaps that’s why he’s on page 28?), he rejects the suggestion of passing a law banning just her from the Knesset, saying instead it should be Arab voters who send her packing.

Zoabi knew exactly what she was doing when she took the podium, Ben Dror Yemini writes in Yedioth Ahronoth. “She wanted that instead of the Knesset holding a serious debate about the deal with Turkey, the Knesset would scream and roil because of another inciting speech supporting terrorism and branding IDF soldiers ‘murderers.'”

He goes so far as to compare her speech to the Istanbul airport attack that transpired a day earlier, saying they both stemmed from radical ideologies and helped shut down debate. “Paradoxically, Zoabi’s attack” — he says, using the Hebrew word applied to terrorist attacks — had more influence on the debate in the Knesset than the attack in Istanbul.”

“It would appear as if her life mission is conflict between Jews and Arabs,” he wonders. “She has no interest in improving the lot of Arabs. She has an interest in one thing and one thing only: creating a rift between Jews and Arabs. She knows that her remark that “IDF soldiers are murderers” will make her much more hated among Jews. She wants more Jews to hate not just her, but all of the Arabs in Israel.”

Yemini says that discussion of the Turkey deal signed earlier this week is essential, and talking Turkey remains at the top of the Hebrew press’s docket.

Haaretz updates the death toll in Tuesday’s deadly attack on Ataturk Airport to 42 and quotes the head of the CIA saying that the deadly assault on a civilian target has all the hallmarks of the Islamic State’s handiwork. Further, Haaretz reports that the Turkish Dogan news agency said Turkey’s intelligence agency received a warning of a possible attack on Istanbul three weeks ago, while NBC reported American intelligence warning its Turkish counterparts of the same.

Yedioth Ahronoth talks to a worker at the airport who recalls the horror of the attack. “There’s practically no security at these exit points,” Murat tells the paper. “When they entered, one of them hurried to the ground floor, and the second ran to the escalator going up to the second floor. Another terrorist entered from the second entrance on the far side of the building. He shouted to people that he was about to blow up an explosive device and they all ran in shock in the other direction. And then the terrorist who stayed on the ground floor started to spray them with his Kalashnikov.”

Israel Hayom’s coverage leans more to the “nothing to see here” side. “Despite the attack, for many Israelis Turkey is a magnet that’s too hard to refuse,” the paper reports. And less than 24 hours after the bombing, Israelis were already returning to Istanbul, but contrary to how it’s trying to portray it, the people it speaks to are either catching a connecting flight or going for business.

“After the attack, we feel safer,” it quotes one traveler in Istanbul in its headline. But only at the very bottom of the article does the paper finish Shimon’s quote: “And I’m not even leaving the airport, so I don’t have any problems.”
