The Israeli Knesset has banned the elected legislator Ofer Cassif for 45 days for his speaking out on the intentional slaughter of Palestinians, now about three times the level of the slaughter carried out by the Hamas on Oct 7. [Cassif](https://twitter.com/dancohen3000/status/1714707750645604667 refuses to be silenced:
“The Ethics Committee’s decision is another nail in the coffin of freedom of political expression in Israel. In each of my interviews, I strongly and bluntly condemned, and expressed my deep disgust at, the criminal massacres by Hamas. My political statements against the occupation and war are not statements against the State of Israel, since peace and justice also serve it and its citizens. All Israelis are severely harmed by the everlasting bloodshed and the narrowing of the democratic space.
