MK calls for attack helicopter attack against Arab MK
Apparently, assassination has become so commonplace in Israeli society that lawmakers can make "jokes" about offing Arab fellow MKs with attack helicopters - and then have other MKs blame them for "incitement":

Tibi... denounced the killing of Shehade's wife and daughter during the assassination. "Why is it all right to kill Shehade's wife, but not someone else's?" he asked.Haha...stop it, you're killing me. Maybe this guy can team up with that other asshole, the Conservative-Female-Commentator-Who-Cannot-Be-Named, who likes these kinds of "jokes".
Deputy Education Minister Zvi Hendel (National Union) [which backs "transfer" of Arabs from Palestine] asked the former Arafat adviser, "How are you not ashamed to defend these murderers?"
Likud MK Gideon Ezra demanded that Tibi be removed from the speaker's rostrum, and Nissim Zeev of Shas said "it will take an Apache [attack helicopter] to get him down."
Less than an hour later, Hadash MK Mohammed Barakeh ruffled the feathers of his parliamentary colleagues by praising Israelis who refuse to serve in the Israel Defense Forces for ideological reasons.Those people inciting others to not kill really are a big problem in that part of the world.
Barakeh commended the "exceptional courage of these young men, their honesty and integrity, the clarity of their thought. In the darkness that envelopes our lives, the shadow of [Prime Minister Ariel] Sharon's reign of occupation, the refuseniks bring light."
Hendel... described Barakeh's comments as "incitement and sedition"...
