Palestinian member of Knesset Haneen Zoabi (pictured above) has been stripped of her parliamentary privileges and passport to stop her joining flotilla 2. Israel the 'only democracy in the Middle East'? That's a joke, surely?
The Knesset House Committee voted to strip Zoabi of her privileges as an MK, including the right to hold a diplomatic passport, "in order to prevent Zoabi from participating in a similar event in the future," the committee chair explained.
Levin then requested from Weinstein "to take action to ensure that MK Zoabi will not be able to take part in the events of the planned flotilla, including preventing her from leaving the country."
The Likud MK also pointed out that the Attorney-General's Office has yet to decide whether Zoabi should stand trial for her participation in last year's flotilla incident, saying that the delay "is not justified and shows weakness and inconsistency." more
