Dozens of IDF soldiers filmed chanting Arab MK ‘is dead’; IDF investigating

Dozens of IDF soldiers are filmed chanting “Ahmad Tibi is dead” and “Ahmad Tibi is a son of a b**ch,” referencing the Arab Israeli lawmaker in a pair of clips from this week uploaded to social media.

The IDF says in a statement that the soldiers’ behavior is inappropriate and that it is looking into the identities of those spotted in the videos.

Tibi in a statement says, “There is no Arab member of the Knesset who does not receive death threats, but incitement at the army bases is something new we’ve been seeing these past couple of weeks, perhaps with the encouragement of the La Familia [hate group]. The Israeli police arrest Arab citizens for liking and reciting Quranic verses, but have not yet taken any action against the rampant incitement against the Arab public.”
