Arab MKs slam Liberman for Darwish-Hitler link
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleArab Knesset members are in an uproar over comments by Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman earlier that said airing an educational program on Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish was like praising the literary work of Hitler. Army Radio broadcast the program on Darwish’s works on Tuesday.
Joint (Arab) List MK Ahmad Tibi says Liberman is not just “racist, violent and delusional but also ignorant for the comparison.”
The head of the Joint List party, Ayman Odeh, says “only a hateful, evil person can compare between the wonderful, human-loving poetry of Darwish and the works of Hitler.”
