Right-wing activists assault, smash MK Ayman Odeh’s car, chant ‘Death to Arabs’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleRight-wing activists assaulted the car of Hadash Party leader MK Ayman Odeh when he drove by an anti-government rally in Ness Ziona in central Israel earlier today. The far-right counter-protesters shouted at Odeh and damaged his car.
In a video, hooligans were seen spitting, kicking, and pounding on the car while calling Odeh a terrorist and other slurs. Some chanted “Death to Arabs.” The car’s rear glass was smashed.

Police at the scene acted to defuse the situation. They later arrested three suspects.
Odeh drove away from the scene.
This week, a motion to kick Odeh out of the Knesset over his comments on the war in Gaza fell through.
