what an arrogant, ethnically degrading, disgusting comment. I can't believe YNet allowed it.

Well played. Heh.

I hope she is severely punished for her nasty behavior. This, by the way, isn't the first time she attacked a fellow MK member.

If the questions raised by #11 are as you say "racist" then are you also willing to recognize that MK Michaeli's behavior is "racist"? You are of course aware that her own party has distanced itself from her actions. You are of course aware that MK Speaker of the Knesset Mr. Rivlin has called for an investigation into her behavior You are of course aware that MK Minister Michael Eitan has called her behavior unacceptable. Are they "racists" too? (I have placed the word "racist" in quotes because you have all misused it. Racism is based in actions based on the race of an individual. What each of you really mean is "prejudice". At worst Emily's question raises the issue of prejudicial judgement against someone who (in this case) is of Russian origin. If you are going to call someone on the carpet for their comments at least be intelligent enough to use the correct terminology.

when her Israel Beiteinu has come out against it! What is wrong with your people.

Michaeli's behavior! if it weren't so sad it would be funny.

Where were you when MK Zoabi physically assaulted an usher in the Knesset? I don't recall reading your comments on that disgraceful episode. Perhaps you are nothing more than a racist yourself, at least when it suits your political bent. When it doesn't, you appear to have a great deal to say. That makes you a hypocrite.

Actually, Ms michaeli did not throw water at MK Zoabi because of an alleged assault on an usher. She threw water at him because she disagreed with his wording - a laudable and great action in the greatest democratic country on the planet. What sort of world would it be when we can all go around wetting each other because of something someone did to someone else? Perhaps you didn't think through the import of your words. As for your calling #35 a racist, in that famous statement after Kissinger got the Nobel Peace Prize "irony is dead".

from over here I see your "hypocrite" showing (again)

...made the same observations years ago but no one would listen.

well, i guess you didn't read my TB. I specifically did NOT USE the word racist because it didn't apply. I said "ethnically degrading". And if you were as intelligent as you say you are you would know that race relates to a person's appearance & biological heritage (e.g. the color of their skin.) Ethnicity, on the other hand, relates to cultural factors such as nationality, culture, etc.. Look it up. You stumbled over your own ignorance trying to be so smart.

As long as the Israeli government allows terrorist supporters like Tibi and Zoabi to recieve their fat salaries while sitting in the Knesset committing treason, why should anyone make a fuss about someone getting a glass of water in the face from an Israeli MK, for whatever reason? MK Michaeli, dont worry, your job is secure.

When she responded with a seemingly benign "violent" action, she belittled herself, the Knesset, and showed women are less capable of being involved in a debate.

But next time she throws a cup of water, she should leave it in the freezer beforehand!

I suppose that says it all.

Yisrael Beiteinu chided MK Anastassia Michaeli for purposefully spilling water on MK Raleb Majadele during the Knesset's Education Committee meeting, saying that "no circumstances justify this kind of behavior." (@ #2 c its not as cool as you think)

Israel Beiteinu didn't push any legislation that was exclusionary. Quite the contrary - they proposed laws that were all inclusive - taking away the unfair advantages given to Arabs who have all of the benefits yet very little of the obligation to the State. Any disparity in equality among citizens is considered Apartheid, is it not? And regarding foreign funding to Leftist NGOs with an agenda against the State which affects our sovereignty - there are laws in other States governing the same issue. Why is Israel suddenly racist for considering laws everyone else has? And the political party legislation including rightist groups in the proposed law, which makes it even-handed, not exclusionary. Perhaps you're just upset because the gravy train has ended for your ilk.

Your racist inclinations shining through the cracks of your post. Maybe she learned it from actions of Parliament members in Japan or Greece. Maybe she should have taken off her show and threw it at him as they do in Arab countries. Maybe she could just have shoved him like Zoabi does, or announce her intention to organize and lead a violent protest mob to his home the way other Arabs MKs do. Maybe she could have just blown herself up the way our neighbors do. Considering the options, perhaps Michaeli took the safer route.

He got what he deserved! He called her facist, he raisede his voice at her & told her to shut up, it was time to cool him down. MK Michaeli had to endure yet again the presence & chutzpa of some disloyal, Israel hating MKs, who should not be allowed to be in the Knesset. It is time for Israel to choose in between becoming a strictly Jewish state and being Ethno-centric (which is NOT being racist) or remaining far too democratic to a degree that it allows people who hate it & cooperate with anti-Israel terrorist, to be members in its Knesset.

Nothing hypocritical about my support for Israel. You, on the other hand, have a great deal to account for .... care to enlighten us?

Michaeli behaved in am nasty manner and she needs to calm down and behave in a manner which is suitable for a politician . Mr .Majadele may indeed have called Ms. michaeli insulting names ,but she should not have responded the way she did because two wrongs never did make one right.

To long overdue - Right on !! Sulphuric acid instead of water, would have been even more effective. Enough of this "galut" mentality by the cowards in our government. They bend over backwards to accomodate and prove Israeli grossly abused democratic values and principals. And the ingratiated abusers were and are our fellow semites -- sons of Yishmael -- most everyone -- from sworn Hamas killers to members of the Knesset.

Actually if you listen to the video, he didn't call her a fascist. After she left the room, he referred to her "fascist behaviour". However, don't let the facts get in the way of yet another anti-Arab tirade.

She doesn't take nonsense from anybody which is just what we need. Enough politicians that seek to appease others we need more people who are willing to say screw you to the rest of the world. NO to Bibi NO to Barak NO to Livni NO to Shelly Y NO to Yair Lapid YES TO Anastassia Michaeli.

like her leader!

Where do you see a distinction between calling her a "fascist" and referring to her "fascist behavior?"

Anastasia Michaeli is the only member with balls on that Kenesset committee. I wonder how come an uneducated Arab can spew anti-Israel slanderous and degrading rhetoric without ever stopped by a Chairman. To shout ‘shut up you!’ to a Jewish woman let alone a member of Israeli parliament is an insult that should have been challenged on duel were we living in 19th century. That ugly face with a glee from bashing a woman should have been seeing in Damask the very next day. But today’s Kenesset jewish males rather resemble eunuchs at sultan’s court. So she did what she had to do. Bravo!
