5. MK Regev tells Zoabi: Go to Gaza, traitor!

Fight breaks out in Knesset as members turn violent towards Arab MK who took part in Gaza flotilla

<snip>

"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.

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."

6. Why are they afraid to hear what she has to say? If the facts are

on their side, let her speak and then hit her with facts, not fists. Clearly they do not have facts on their side as their behavior is that of a criminal trying to hide evidence.
