Alush attacks Odeh: "They say it to us"
As Change Bloc signals willingness to cooperate with Arab parties, actor Aviv Alush shares video of MK Ayman Odeh and calls him a terror supporter who should be expelled or jailed
Alush shared the video to his Instagram story, showing Odeh speaking about political struggle and ways to advance his goals. After watching the clip, Alush decided to respond publicly.
"It's one thing when they say it behind closed doors… but they're saying it to our faces," Alush wrote.
"Just open your eyes and ears"
Alush continued his attack: "You don't need to be the head of the Shin Bet or a Middle East expert, you just need to open your eyes and ears and understand that this whole group are openly terror supporters ... In a proper situation they should be expelled from here or in prison, certainly not sitting in the Knesset of Israel and receiving salaries from our money."
A message to the Change Bloc as well?
Alush's remarks come as the Change Bloc appears willing to cooperate with the Arab parties, including Odeh's party, in forming a government. His words can also be read as a rebuke to those politicians prepared to sit with Odeh, even as Alush himself calls for removing him and his colleagues from the Knesset entirely.
