Sami Abu Shehadeh and his colleagues in Balad have been in complete shock since the uproar began and attention was drawn to the October 8 article.
But the blame lies solely with the State of Israel—with its judges, legal advisers, politicians, and journalists—who allowed supporters of terrorism to enter the Knesset and normalized their membership in it.
That is the only reason this despicable supporter of terrorism feels free to sit comfortably at his computer and write an article in favor of the October 7 massacre while his country is facing an existential threat.
P.S. If this constitutes support for terrorism, why isn’t the Attorney General opening an investigation against him? The technology exists.
