TRANSLATED Knesset Members Attack Haneen Zoabi After Free Gaza

Mario Sasso: Just look at the arrogance and spewing of bile these Ziopigs rant at a member of the Knesset who ONLY tried to show support FOR HER PEOPLE!
SHAME ON YOU ISRAEL...YOU SHOW THE ARROGANCE AND STUPIDITY OF ALL FAILED POWERS!

June 02, 2010 — Regev tells Zoabi: Go to Gaza, Traitor !!! This is when it kicked off. Fight breaks out in Knesset as members turn violent towards Arab MK who took part in Gaza flotilla.

Knesset members on Wednesday slammed MK Hanin Zoabi (Balad), who took part in the flotilla to Gaza raided by the IDF on Monday. Fears of violence against her by other MKs have led the Knesset to grant her personal security guards.

Arab Knesset member who participated in Gaza aid flotilla holds press conference says, 'It was clear from size of force that boarded ship that purpose was not to stop sail, but to cause largest number of fatalities to prevent future initiatives'.

MK Anastassia Michaeli (Yisrael Beiteinu) chased Zoabi in an attempt to keep her from speaking, and a fight broke out at the podium. Other MKs tried to separate between the two women, and eventually Michaeli was removed from the hall.

Each MK was allotted one minute to speak, but Zoabi took longer because of the many disruptions by other MKs present. When Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin asked her to descend from the podium she refused, and also had to be physically removed.

MK Jamal Zahalka (Balad) was also one of the MKs forced out of the debate. Zahalka said that the entire world condemns the IDF raid on the flotilla to Gaza.

"I want to call for the release of leaders of the Arab public," he told the plenum before his removal, referring to Sheikh Raed Salah and others who were arrested for taking part in the sail. "MK Zoabi deserves an award. She fulfilled her duty."

MK Yoel Hasson (Kadima) intervened and said, "She deserves an award from Hamas!" He was also removed from the debate.

A heated debate took place before the speeches as well. "Zoabi is party to a double crime -- joining terrorists and a moral crime against the State of Israel," she said during a heated Knesset session Wednesday. "She must be punished. We don't need Trojan horses in the Knesset." MK Miri Regev (Likud) even shouted at Zoabi in Arabic, "Go to Gaza, traitor."

"She (Zoabi) stood here over a year ago and pledged her allegiance to the State of Israel and its laws. My intention is not to harm freedom of speech -- but in MK Zoabi's case -- this isn't freedom of speech. The sail to Gaza was a sail of terror. Zoabi must be punished. We don't need Trojan horses in the Knesset," Regev said.

MK Yohanan Plesner (Kadima) also told Zoabi to visit the Strip. "I just wish you would go to Gaza for at lease a week and then we'll see how you talk about women's rights and civil rights. Just one week, and we'll see what happens. One week in Gaza as a 38-year old single woman and we'll see how they treat you! You are the last person capable of preaching morals to us," he cried out.

Rightist lawmaker Moshe Mutz Matalon (Yisrael Beitenu) told Zoabi, "Nice work. In one day you've managed to accomplish what the treacherous people around you have been trying to do for years. Unfortunately, the (commando) fighters (who raided the aid flotilla) acted with too much restraint. They left only nine floating voters."

MK Nachman Shai's (Kadima) attack on Zoabi was a bit more refrained. "I respect democracy, but an MK cannot participate in such a journey, which is against the law and deifies the country that is mine just as much as it is yours.

"I respect your opinions, but it was wrong of you to stand on that ship's deck. It's unacceptable," he added.

Next to speak was Hadash chairman Mohammad Barakeh. "We stand by our colleague MK Zoabi and consider her actions noble, as they were meant to lift the siege off of an entire nation."

Rightist MKs interrupted the Arab lawmaker's speech with calls of "Enemies. Enemies. Shame on you." Barakeh responded by saying, "You are trying to justify the cold-blooded murder of protestors. The responsibility does not lie with the soldiers, but with those who organized this crime -- mainly Netanyahu and Barak.

"I am holding the political echelon responsible. Not one country is taking Israel's side in this crime. You are swimming against the entire world. You are hurting your own nation," said Barakeh.

Props to the speaker who´s trying to uphold some sort of dignity and legitimacy of Israeli democracy. I wish the best for Israel but the jews are digging their own grave with this politic I´m sad to say. Both sides in this conflict have economic interests from this constant state of "war" but the real power is in the hands of Israel and America. Palestinians could have a state but the Israelis are not convinced they would have security if that day comes.

Israel only for Jews..

Being soft-spoken or rowdy in parliament is quite irrelevant. Her demeanor can be just a carefully nurtured and politically convenient part of her parliamentary. Even soft spoken words can be extremely offensive and painful. So, different styles are allowed to co-exist in the Knesset. And thus I think that the Israeli parliament is one of the most democratic in the world. But let's not digress, for, more essentially, it is the only democratic parliament in the M-E.

[MousseTauChocolate]

@hgintern btw although Israel does a lot to look LIKE a democracy it doesnt mean it is one. to import jews from abroad while expatriating non-jew citizans to create majorities and minorities fools the democratic principle.

[hgintern]

I am clearly not getting through to you, for which I am truly sorry. By the way this is a parliament. Parliaments in a democracy are not about punishment. If you don't behave, you are not allowed to attend. Mind you, this conceivably is just about the most serious penalty possible, since the core business of a parliamentarian is public participation in the parliamentary discussion. In that sense being left out in the cold is fatal for a political career.

[MousseTauChocolate]

@hgintern apparantly you dont read either. I said in a normal parliament the interruptors would have been punished which means more than telling sb to get out to get a coffee, but to eject them for a wider period of time especially when they interrupt in such an offensive and aggressive manner. zoabi is speaking in a soft voice, her matter is fully legitimate and obviously you know that because there would be no need to panic and interrupt in such a way if she was clearly and undoubtedly wrong.
