Gal-on accuses right-wing MKs of ‘lynching’ High Court
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsraeli politicians love nothing more than being topical in their quips, even if that means name checking a tragedy (See Ehud Barak’s famous diplomatic tsunami after the Fukushima disaster) and so Meretz chief Zahava Gal-On decides to use the recent fatal shooting and beating of an Eritrean man to take down her righty colleagues.
Commenting on the outcry among right-wing lawmakers after the High Court ordered a freeze on home demolitions of suspected Palestinian killers, Gal-on accuses them of a “public lynching of the High Court.”
On Sunday, African Haftom Zarhum was shot and then beaten by a mob after being mistaken for a terrorist. The incident was termed a “lynching” by Israeli politicians, pundits and others.
