| …Gafni is so wrong when he says the Knesset is just like other national parliaments. No way. The US Congress is not that crude; neither I’ll bet do Canada’s parliamentarians in Ottawa comport themselves this way. It is certainly not the folkways of the House of Commons, mother of parliaments, in London. For sure at the appropriate moment it is permissible to shout out “Hear! Hear!” or guffaw, but never with the purpose as in the Knesset of just preventing someone else from talking. That’s the difference.
If I could I would force these MKs to watch a few episodes of the prime minister’s question time in which the opposition mostly certainly has the right to challenge, laugh at, mock the other side but it had better be a verbal barb well fired with intelligence and wit… |
