MK Pindrus Sparks Outrage Saying Road Blockers Should Be Shot in the Legs

During a session of the Knesset Education, Culture and Sports Committee, MK Adi Azuz from Yesh Atid confronted MK Yitzhak Pindrus over his controversial remarks advocating shooting road blockers in the legs, referencing practices in the United States. Azuz challenged Pindrus by asking if he supported shooting activist Goldknopf for blocking a road. Pindrus responded by suggesting to "start with Naama Lazimi," another MK. Lazimi condemned the statement as incitement and a call for bloodshed, accusing Pindrus and his allies of having "blood on their hands." She emphasized her right to protest and rejected such violent wishes directed at her. The exchange highlighted deep tensions over protest methods and political rhetoric in Israel.
