2. He is what is wrong with our country.

3. How proud our leaders make us.
Jeremiah ,   Israel's Jewish Land   (07.12.07)
4. Marciano should lose his drive license for 90 days and fined
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (07.12.07)
Enough is enough! We have enough traffic offenders and criminals and we DO NOT NEED KNESSET MPs TO SET AN EXAMPLE ON HOW TO BEHAVE WITH THE POLICE! Revoke his driving license and fine the bastard!
5. #1 - You don't because you don't drive here...
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (07.12.07)
And you're missing the point. Its illegal, becuase it's unsafe, but that's not the point. If you are pulled over you don't rip the citation out of the cop's hand and take off. He should loose his license and be fined. I am sick of this bullshit from MK's - do what you want with out any retribution.
6. DISGRACE
joe ,   great neck   (07.12.07)
Who does he think he is? Is he above the law?
7. No wonder, we like Israel so much
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (07.13.07)
If this had been a member of our Congress, he'd have sworn up and down that the brakes on his car gave out and just rolled uphill.
8. marciano= chachach as a mk
oded   (07.13.07)
9. # 5
Birdi ,   Israel   (07.13.07)
Exactly Andy.
10. I like
ben ,   singapore   (07.13.07)
the Israeli Police Officers, they do their job well. MK or not MK give them the ticket. To Doron Ben-Amo and the Knesset’s legal council please charge against the MK for obstructing the work of an on-duty police officer.This ha sto STOP may these MK be a good example or GET OUT of the Knesset. Character Unbecoming ! IDIOTS !
11. another one above the law
hayssam ,   ottawa canada   (07.13.07)
is that what u call it democracy in israel ? first katsav now another mk its like in lebanon all politician above the law...and we wander why we have a war and why we are behind...
12. FINE GENTLEMAN
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (07.13.07)
It gives one a warm fuzzy feeling all over to know that this is the kind of rifraf,that fills their pockets with our tax money. The law here is a joke and is only applied to the lower classes. Nothing will be done because the legal system is corrupt. Besides that this marciano character is your average israeli thug and is the proud product of our zionist state. In the end the joke is on us.
13. I shaved in the car this morning...
Guy ,   Los Angeles, CA   (07.13.07)
I shaved in the car this morning, and don't see the problem. Holding a phone in the other hand however presented a problem. I had a hard rime steering with my nose.
14. Who the hell ELECTED this monkey to the Knesset?
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (07.13.07)
15. disgrace
dante ,   uk   (07.13.07)
16. All MKs (except goody two shoes Livni) MOCK the state laws
Malcolm   (07.13.07)
17. #16 I bet Livni shaves in the car too!
ER ,   Canada   (07.13.07)
18. Who Elected This Nitwit?
Bill Foonman ,   Jacksonville, USA   (07.13.07)
Can the same people who elected this moron now get rid of him? He continues to give Israel a black eye and reinforces Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau's comment that, "Politics is a dirty business for dirty people."
19. Well, That's The Labor Party For Ya.
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (07.13.07)
20. Conduct unbecoming
Russel ,   tlv   (07.13.07)
Manners maketh not this MK - what a pity we dont really get to elect the MKs person by person - then we could vote him out into the street where he belongs with his gutter behaviour. But his friends put him in the knesset and his friends will keep him there. Boy, Israel. The only democracy in the middle east. Gotta love it.
21. Legs
Mark ,   Israel   (07.13.07)
Good thing he wasn't shaving his legs.
22. MK Marciano not fit to be an MK !
redmiike ,   tel aviv and london   (07.13.07)
23. #1 - you missed the point entirely !
redmiike ,   tel aviv and london   (07.13.07)
this would have gone almost unnoticed if he had simply behaved normally and accepted the citation. Instead, his behavior indicates that his recent brawl and subsequent lying was not an isolated issue. He should spend a few days in the slammer and hopefully not be reelected. It is possible that you feel the same way about Haim Ramon - just a kiss. Ramon was called 'a professional liar' by 3 judges and that is the issue not the kiss for which he was punished. - Mike
24. TOO CLOSE A SHAVE
ROLAND SEENER ,   London England   (07.13.07)
ROCKY MARCIANO WAS A BOXER THAT I CONSIDERED BETTER THAN MOHOMMAD ALI. MARCIANO {MK} HIS NAMESAKE HOWEVER CHOSE THE WRONG SPARRING PARTNER AND WAS LUCKY NOT TO BE COUNTED OUT .THE PUBLIC HAS A NEED TO LOOK UP TO ITS HERO FIGURES .HIS CLOSE SHAVE WITH THE LAW COULD HAVE COST SOMEONES LIFE. THERE MUST BE AN ANSWER TO LACK OF CARE THAT LEADS TO SO MANY ACCIDENTS. WHY DOES ISRAENOT LEARN FROM ABROAD FROM COUNTRIES WHERE THEIR ACCIDENT RATE IS MUCH REDUCED .AND WHY HAS,NT THIS BEEN DONE BEFORE. IT MAKES FOR COMMON SENSE.
25. thug
Michael ,   Haifa   (07.13.07)
Yet another little arrogant thug in our political system
26. A creative solution: Keleh HaKnesset
Nachash Tsefah ,   Tel Aviv   (07.13.07)
Lock the Knesset doors when they're all inside, and throw away the key. It will be easier than sending them to jail individually, which is where each of these thugs, liars and criminals (syn: politicians) belongs. Move the seat of government to Har Ha Bayit... oops, now I'm really dreaming....
27. Wasn't he also in a bar fight with a bouncer a while back?
ridiculous ,   Israel   (07.13.07)
28. I can't believe he got in trouble for shaving in his car!
(07.13.07)
Every morning I see the same men shaving in their cars, and women plucking their eyebrows or putting on mascara and they never got pulled over.
29. I see people drive like idiota every day
TelAvivi ,   TA Israel   (07.13.07)
this one just happens to be ars #1 as well so what? he need to shave so he shaved and thats it what is the problem? stupid police should stop proper crime instead of harrassing drivers also, i been in rome and paris for a few years in hi-tech and i can say that driving there is much worse than here police just waste everyones time
30. SOLUTION TO TRAFFIC OFFENCES
Sam ,   Jerusalem   (07.13.07)
Israel already has strict traffic laws and harsh penalties the problem is simply one of ENFORCMENT. The solution give cops video cameras and or ordionary cameras .Then give them 10% of every fine they levy as long as the offence is documented on camera.(or blood test for alcohol/drugs) As they say in the classics money talks-and there is no doubt it will encourage our boys in blue to do their bit.
