Strook is a mother of eleven and a grandmother of twelve. In 2007, a Palestinian boy was found severely beaten and bleeding after escaping an alleged torture session.

It was later revealed that Zviki Strook and his friends had entered a Palestinian neighbourhood, captured a 15-year-old boy, handcuffed and beat him, stripped him, and allegedly hit him with an ATV (all-terrain vehicle) before leaving him tied up in a field. The victim escaped hours later, suffering from severe injuries.

In a healthy democracy, religious preference does not trump legal inquiry in suspect deaths - eg autopsy.

In a healthy democracy, someone with a daughter making claims of long-term sexual abuse by her mother and family, and a son that was convicted of kidnapping and torturing a Palestinian boy (leaving him naked and beaten in a field) has no possibility of a continued political career. If there are no better alternative politicians from your political party to fill your role, then that is an indictment of your entire party.

But she is a proud ultrareligious racist fanatic and so is her party, and so all of this is no problem for them. Nor apparently a large amount of the voters - her party has 7 seats in the current Knesset. Which is more seats that Israel's only firmly left-wing party 'Hadash–Ta'al', which holds 5.

Wait, was she found dead after her video went viral or before?

Holy shit! We just heard about her the other day! They’ll literally mutter their own children in front of everyone and then carry on like everything’s normal. The Nazi comparison is more accurate than we imagined.
