After Rivlin slammed, Netanyahu says not all criticism is incitement
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addresses pictures circulating online of President Reuven Rivlin in an Arab keffiyeh, which police are investigating as incitement.
“In a democracy, you may criticize everyone. Not all criticism is incitement — but it should be without keffiyehs, without nooses, and without Nazi uniforms,” says Netanyahu at the weekly Likud faction meeting.
The photo of the president was circulating in protest of his decision not to pardon an IDF soldier convicted of killing an incapacitated Palestinian attacker.
