Free Speech for Knesset Member Ripped Away

Sad that Knesset cannot let freedom of speech and association reign for its Israeli-Arab citizens and elected members of their Knesset.

Knesset Strips Palestinian MK of Parliamentary Privileges

Today, it only took 34 of the 120 member of the Knesset who actually had the guts to strip Israeli Palestinian MK Haneen Zoabi of her parliamentary privileges–all because she represented her constituents faithfully and joined the Gaza flotilla. 
What is interesting about all this is that Zoabi broke no Israeli law in doing so (she might have had the flotilla reached Gaza).
