[JPost] - The Knesset these days looks like an unemployment center surrounded by a city playground. One day someone comes to get a job. The next day it looks like a fistfight is about to break out.

Just take a look at the last week. On Monday, Religious Zionist MK Itamar Ben-Gvir took to the Knesset podium and refused to refer to Joint List MK Ahmad Tibi, who was running the session, by the title "Mr. Chairman," as MKs have traditionally begun their remarks.

When Tibi ordered him to do so, Ben-Gvir refused and called Tibi a terrorist. When Tibi called on Knesset ushers to remove Ben-Gvir from the podium, the MK, who is not exactly small, put up a fight, holding on to the sides of the podium for dear life.

The next day, Shas MK Moshe Abutbul called Labor leader Merav Michaeli a "beginner woman" who made a mistake bringing that "Reform guy" into the Knesset referring to MK Gilad Kariv, a Reform rabbi, who later that day saw the entire Shas Party get up and walk out of the plenum when he took to the Knesset podium.

If that wasn’t enough, UTJ MK Moshe Gafni called Prime Minister Naftali Bennett a "murderer," and then MK Ya'acov Litzman yelled at Kariv to "shut up," who in turn called the haredi parliamentarian a "disgrace" and "defender of pedophiles."
