“THERE is no opposition to this government’s war in the Knesset, in this country, apart from the party, Hadash, the partners in the Knesset and the Islamic movement. There are less than 10 lawmakers who are against the war in the Knesset,” the international commission of the Communist Party of Britain heard from Reem Hazzan, the international secretary of the Communist Party of Israel.
