    Israeli MP throws water in face of politican during furious row

    An Israeli MP threw water over an opposition politician during a heated parliamentary debate.

    The disagreement captured by Knesset TV, saw Russian-born Anastassia Michaeli giving Ghaleb Majadele a cooling-off by throwing a glass of water in his face during an education committee meeting before storming out in anger.

    Michaeli, a member of the right-wing Yisrael Beiteinu party, got into a furious row with Majadele (Labour) over the Education Ministry's reprimand of an Arab-Israeli school principal who took pupils on a human rights march in Tel Aviv last month.



    Ms Michaeli shouted at Majadele saying: “You are marching against the state.” To which Mr Majadele, replies “shut up”.


    “We will say whatever we want, despite what anyone says. This is the parliament here, we were elected for this. This is our right and our privilege. This is not the Yisrael Beitenu faction,” Mr Majadele continued.

    Michaeli, a former model, defended her actions in a statement afterwards.

    “The times when a man could curse a woman publicly, insult her and act violently are gone.” Unrepentant, she said. “I think water is an excellent way to cool off.”

    Following the outburst, Michaeli was suspended for one month.

      She is on the extremist zionist side of argument. All extreme religious people seem prone to violence whether chucking water or bombs.

        I think that you're wrong. This woman is not at all religious; what made you think she is.

      If a man had done that to a woman then there would have been real trouble, she got a one month suspension and she's unrepentant! Its WRONG!

      Behaved like a spoilt child, allowed the man to win the argument with her childish beheviour, get someone else in to do her job who can behave like an adult. Very poor

        yeh yeh israel is a democracy n educated just proves the democracy comes out of there rear end

        Learn to spell correctly, then write your comments. You wanted to write 'their'. Also to write 'rear end' sounds better than using another word, but it doesn't show much education either. Reread the article and then comment on democracy.

      ultra right zionist Israeli MP throws a glass of water in the face of an arab labour party lawmaker because she doesn't want to allow human rights marches by Israeli school kids hmm - No surprises there then, perhaps she should return to modelling if she wants to play the spoilt bytch.

      Why, oh why, oh why do we KEEP hearing stories, (true or otherwise), of violence in that region? Why? Are they just inherently violent? Or do they lack any sense of decorum? It's pathetic and very, very sad whatever it is.

      Sounds like the Committee is run by a bunch of morons. Strange, when it isin the Education Ministry.

    • Troika  •  Bromsgrove, England  •  4 months ago
      She says “The times when a man could curse a woman publicly, insult her and act violently are gone.” ..and then assaults him with water...what a hypocrite and so unprofessional.

      why was water thrown? why did she not follow with the container? was the water contaminated? or was it poisoned and the recipient is he or she still alive? I suggest the usa
      examine the contents of the water and her brains. usa is known for its shrinks than anything else.....

      Talk about twisting reality! This woman accused Majadele of cursing a woman in public, insulting her and acting violently which is exactly what she herself did - not him! Of course, the ultra right wing Israeli's will pretend to believe he did all that - not her in spite of the evidence to the contrary! More power to that Arab-Israeli school principal!!!

      Russian jews are destroying Israel. They have come from an unlcutured mafia style of living and are now imposing it upon the more sophisticated Israelis. Its a shame but they are ruining the country
