Palestine-Israel, Politics, 12/28/2001

During the session held on Wednesday, the chairman of the Israeli Knesset expelled four Arab members because of their strong protest over the provocative racist statements voiced by the Israeli minister Dani Nafe in which he described the chairman of the Palestinian authority as a " Muslim terrorist."

The Israeli radio quoted Nafe as saying in the context of replying proposals concerning the Knesset's agenda submitted on the background of preventing Arafat from taking part in the mass given in Bethlehem on the occasion of the Christmas on Monday evening that " Arafat is not a Christian Saint, he is rather a Muslim terrorist."

Nafe also accused the Palestinian authority of violating Christianity. A matter which provoked anger of these Arab members and pushed them to strongly protest these racist statements.

Nafe also expressed his regret that the PA did not hand over the Palestinian resistance men who carry out operations against the Israeli occupation army in Israel.
