JERUSALEM, January 9, 2012 (WAFA) – Israeli Knesset member Anastassia Michaeli of the extremist Yisrael Beiteinu Monday poured water on Arab MK Ghaleb Majadleh in a heated discussion during the Education, Culture and Sports Committee meeting, according to the Israeli media.
The committee was discussing reprimand of an Arab school principle after taking his students to participate in a human rights demonstration in the Galilee.
Arab MKs condemned the punishment under the pretext that it violates freedom of speech, while Michaeli claimed that the principle’s action were “dangerous.”
Majadleh, MK from the Labor Party, called Michaeli a “fascist” and requested the head of the committee to silence her. However, she emptied a glass of water of him before she was removed from the session.
Michaeli had proposed a bill to ban the Islamic call for prayer through loudspeakers in mosques.Israeli Parliamentarian Pours Water on Arab Lawmaker
