MK laments countless racist posts from Jewish Israelis celebrating death of Arab teacher

Hadash-Ta’al MK Ahmad Tibi highlights the flood of racist comments posted by Israelis on social media celebrating the death of a Shfar’am teacher who was killed in a Hezbollah rocket attack in the northern Arab town of Shfa’am.

“Again, the same racism, again the same vileness, the same human piles of garbage who are happy that the late Safaa Qaat Awad was killed by a missile from Lebanon,” tweets Tibi, attaching a photo showing dozens of comments celebrating the woman’s death after it was reported in an Instagram post.

“I sent a letter to the state ombudsman a month ago. I was told the matter is under review. How come no one gets arrested — with or without a flannel cloth over their eyes?” he asks, referring to the police arrest of an Arab teacher last month, which exposed law enforcement to charges of racism.

תופעה: שוב אותה גזענות, אותה שפלות , אותם פסולת אנושית , השמחים כי ספאא קוט עוואד ז״ל נהרגה מטיל מלבנון. כבר שלחתי מכתב ליועמ״שית לפני חודש . ענו לי כי זה בבדיקה. איך זה שאף אחד לא עצור עם או בלי פלנלית? @brown_johnbrown pic.twitter.com/HZkzFl4CEr
