Ilana Khanya, Likud groupie-thug
חשיפה: החשודה בשליחת מכתבי האיום והקליעים למשפחת בנט היא אילנה חניה, פעילת ליכוד בולטת
Last week, an Israeli made two death threats against Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and his family. The first was sent to his wife and contained a bullet. The second was sent to Bennett’s teenage son. It also threatened the life of Bennett and his family.
The Shin Bet has arrested the alleged culprit but placed a gag order on the case. No Israeli news media may report her name or anything about her. Tonight, I’m breaking the gag order. Her name is Ilana Khanya, age 65. She is a prominent Likud activist from Ashkelon.
כנס תקווה חדשה באשקלון. נוכחים: כל חברי הרשימה מלבד היו״ר סער. בחוץ הפגנה (חלקם תומכי נתניהו) ומישהי שקוראת קריאות מזעזעות: ״כנס כנס לים בני בגין, שם תמצא את מותך יא חתיכת נוכל״. גועל pic.twitter.com/hDjUB9EhQF

In social media posts, she said of Bennett: “Bring the murderer to justice.” And this : “Only your [Bennett’s] blood will bring us salvation.” During the last election campaign, Gideon Saar’s New Hope Party sponsored a seaside campaign event in Ashkelon. Khanya protested outside the hall, screaming at Party candidate, Benny Begin: “Go ahead, jump in the sea and drown, you piece of shit!”
הפעילה שצעקה הערב באשקלון: ״כנס כנס בני בגין, שם תמצא את מותך יא חתיכת נוכל״.
היא אילנה חניה.

Here she’s pictured with four Likud MKs, among them former Jerusalem mayor (and future PM candidate) Nir Barkat and former minister, Yariv Levin. The pictures make her out to be a virtual Likud groupie. One of Bibi’s Brownshirts. Apparently willing to kill for him.
Don’t let any Likud apologist say she’s a ‘loose cannon,’ doesn’t represent the values of the Party, etc. You can see here that some of the most senior MKs in the Party were honored to be photographed with her. Here Facebook accounted is filled with such images. Her blood bleeds Likud.
Nor is this the first time anyone affiliated with Likud has incited the murder of a prime minister. In fact, none other than the current leader of the Opposition offered a Mussolini-like fire-breathing speech denouncing Yitzhak Rabin only three weeks before his assassination. Netanyahu was photographed at Party rallies featuring nooses and coffins with Rabin’s name featured prominently. In other words, this is a Party with blood on its hands. A Party not above using incitement and outright violence to gain and hold power.
The current political context is that the government is exceedingly weak and unstable. It has no majority and the Islamist Raam Party has suspended any participation in the coalition due to Israeli violence and incitement at Haram al-Sharif. The Likud Opposition has nursed a grudge since Naftali Bennett toppled Netanyahu. It is desperate to return to power. Its supporters are angry and disgruntled. They feel the country has been stolen from them. They want it back at all costs and they smell blood in the water. In periods of turmoil and instability, loose cannons like Khanya or Yigal Amir exploit the uncertainty for their own political ends. They use violence and even murder to ensure their allies retain power over society.

This woman sounds dangerous! She needs to be reigned in before she does something really horrible!
Clearly, this woman is unstable and acted alone(or there would have been other arrests).
Smearing Bibi and Likud on account of the actions of an oddball ‘groupie’, is unwarranted.
@ Lord Buyrite: Beward hasbaroids using the word “clearly.” Clear as mud. This woman is pictured with senior leaders of the Likud. She was welcomed to major Party meetings and conferences. If she’s an “oddball” where are the Party denunciations of her actions? OH, and how do you know she’s “Unstable?” Just because she told Benny Begin to drown himself in the sea? There are thousands of other Likud supporters who wish the same thing? Are they all oddball groupies?
