After suspension, MK Cassif defends criticism of IDF as ‘well-founded statements’ (Times of Israel, 2024-11-11)

———

“MK Ofer Cassif defends comments he made about the IDF and Israel’s war in Gaza over which the Knesset Ethics Committee voted today to suspend him for six months.

“‘My political statements against the occupation, ethnic cleansing, war crimes and genocide committed by the Israeli government in Gaza – witnessed by the entire world – are well-founded statements protected under the freedom of political expression,’ Cassif says in a statement.”

“‘My punishment is a continuation of the political persecution of opponents of the war and critics of [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu’s bloody rule,’ Cassif asserts, adding that he is ‘proud to be a partner of the good people who are persecuted by this evil government.’”
