Boycott Israel

“Yes we should boycott the Eurovision,” he wrote on Twitter on Tuesday. “We have to punish the right-wing government in Israel for its crimes against the Palestinian people and its denial of their rights.”


Jabareen said the boycott is also justified as a protest against the moving of the US embassy to Jerusalem "in sharp contrast to the position of the Europeans and the rest of the world." He said he will ask the European Union to consider joining in his call.

Almost immediately, several other MKs slammed Jabareen’s statement.

Likud MK Amir Ohana said it is “so terrible for you when it is good for Israel, huh Yousef?”

Writing on Twitter, Ohana said “you can continue to rage, to protest, to burn and to punish while the citizens of Israel will continue to blossom, to thrive, to celebrate and to break records – and, yes, to protect ourselves from murderous Arab aggression.”

Later in the day, Deputy Minister Michael Oren sent a request to the Knesset Ethics Committee to take disciplinary action against Jabareen.

“It is inconceivable that a member of Knesset, who receives a salary from the State of Israel and from the taxpayers, is calling for a boycott of the state he serves,” Oren wrote in the letter. “This is inappropriate, immoral and unethical.”

Yisrael Beytenu MK Oded Forer slammed Jabareen for “once again acting maliciously against the State of Israel.”
