Senior Israeli-Arab Lawmaker Trolls Netanyahu, Cracks Up Knesset

Spread the love

Ayman Odeah is the head of one of the major Arab political parties in the Israeli Knesset (parliament).

I subscribe to Ha’Aretz [ = “the Homeland”] to know what the sincere liberals in Israel are reporting. the gist of it all is that Netanyahu lost the last election, and is desperately promising everything to all sorts of other politicians to form a new coalition government and stay in power. The joke by Odeh is that a desperate Netanyahu even promised justice to the Palestinians. 😉 That got the Knesset laughing.

 

The Knesset is a typically ugly product of this neanderthalic race. (Neanderthals showed no interest in art or creativity, unlike our abncestors, the Cro magnons.)

Hadash Chairman Ayman Odeh brought laughter to a tense evening in the Knesset on Wednesday evening as he poked fun of last-minute promises Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made as he scrambled to form a coalition.

“I have a dramatic announcement and I apologize to my fellow MKs that I didn’t let you know ahead of time,” the Arab lawmaker told the Knesset as they waited for a vote on dissolving the Knesset, which would send Israel to a new election.

“Seven minutes ago Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to me and he said he is willing to withdraw from the occupied territories and also to cancel the nation-state law, and that he supports not only civil equality but also national equality, and that he’s willing to recognize the Nakba and fix the historical wrong – in return for the immunity law,” he continued to audible laughter, referencing the prime minister’s efforts to pass legislation that would prevent him from being indicted for corruption.

“And I had no time to consult with you! And I’m looking at the clock and wondering when I have to get back to him.”

Earlier, it emerged Netanyahu had offered the defense portfolio to Labor Chairman Avi Gabbay in order to tempt him into entering a coalition amid frantic efforts to reach the one additional seat required for a majority in the Knesset.
