| MKs called yesterday for the removal of Ahmed Tibi (Arab Movement for Change) from the Knesset after he was quoted as expressing support for the Palestinian fighters in Jenin. Coalition and Likud whip Ze'ev Boim called the remark, televised on Al Jezeera, "political pollution," and said it proves that Tibi is working for Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat. He called for ejecting Tibi from the Knesset, as did Shinui whip Eliezer Sandberg, who said Tibi's remark makes him an "integral part"of the Palestinian terror network. In response, National Union MK Eliezer "Cheetah" Cohen suggested that Tibi "volunteer to become a suicide bomber." |
