Eitam to Arab MKs: Day will come when we will banish you

[Violet_Crumble]

Harsh words were exchanged Wednesday as Knesset Member Effie Eitam (National Union-NRP) addressed remarks made by a number of Arab lawmakers during a rally in the northern town of Umm al-Fahm in protest of IDF activity in Gaza.

"The day will come when we will banish you from this house (Knesset) and the national home," Eitam said during his speech, "no sane democratic nation can ignore such treachery at a time of war. We must expel you and all those who participated in the unruly and treacherous rally against the State of Israel that took place at Umm al-Fahm.

"You should be expelled to Gaza, where your people, who are fighting us, dwell; that is where you belong," the MK said.

Arab MK Jamal Zahalka (National Democratic Assembly) shouted at Eitam from his seat "you're a madman and a racist." Taleb el-Sana (United Arab List-Ta'al) called for the Jewish MK to be imprisoned and said he should "stand trial for his actions during the first intifada".

"His (Eitam's) place is in history's garbage can after he called for a transfer of Israel's Arab citizens," el-Sana said.
