Jerusalem – A right-wing activist threw a bottle of juice at a contentious Israeli Arab lawmaker and called her a “terrorist” at a political gathering in central Israel.

Lawmaker Hanin Zoabi, who is running for re-election in the March 17 parliament elections, says the commotion erupted during a Tel Aviv event she attended on Tuesday.
The moment was captured on Israeli TV cameras, with juice pouring down Zoabi’s head. Police said her attacker was arrested.
Zoabi is known for her feisty and abrasive style in parliament. She has sided with the Palestinians prompting some Israelis to brand her a traitor and she has had a history of angering mainstream Israelis.
Last month, Israel’s Supreme Court overturned a decision by the country’s election committee that had disqualified Zoabi from the elections.
What a kidush hashem!!! These Israelis are crazed hothead bigots!!!!
Only in Israel does the parliament have enemies of the state on a govt. salary and Bibi comes here preaching to us? Clean up your own home, Zionism without the Kahane way is doomed.
Im certain that a majority of VIN commentators out of their crazed love to Israel, would neatly fit into the juice throwing catagory.
All jokes aside, she definitely deserved it!
Good for her!
