Yesterday, foreign policy analyst, journalist, novelist and screenwriter Rula Jebreal tweeting the following, as a way to bash Israel:
The Moral bankruptcy of ethno nationalism.

Israeli Jewish member of Knesset Ofer Kasif says he intends to boycott President Zelensky's speech, parroting putin’s talking points to justify his decision: “Ukrainians committed crimes against Russia.”pic.twitter.com/wW1BdemShn
But what she fails to realize (or perhaps realizes but does not mention) is that Ofer Kasif, the person whose words she is using to try bludgeon Israel, is an Israel-hating member of Knesset. He is the sole Jewish member of the Arab Joint List, and a member of Hadash, a Communist Arab-Jewish party with historic ties to the Soviet Union and Russia.
In other words, I agree with her that Kasif is morally bankrupt – for being a Communist and someone who sides with the palestinian Arabs!
Two Israeli Jewish Knesset members, Mossi Raz and Ofer Kasif, visited the Palestinian teenager from Sheikh Jarrah, Jana Al-Kiswani, who was standing at the gate of her home when an Israeli policeman shot her in the back with a "sponge bullet." pic.twitter.com/092TMrO3NP

Believe it or not, this is not Jebreal’s worst own goal. That would be shtupping Roger Waters.
