Moammar Mashni (Vic) addresses the photograph of MK Haneen Zoabi in The Australian 12Jun10 PUBLISHED June 13, 2010
A CAPTION on a photograph you published of Palestinian member of the Israeli Knesset, Haneen Zoabi, described her as being restrained (“Turkish imam turns on aid activists”, 5-6/6).
Footage of the Knesset session shows that Ms Zoabi was man-handled by at least one Israeli MP and was saved from further harassment only by Knesset officials.
Ms Zoabi was physically and verbally abused with racist and sexist comments so offensive they were stricken from the Knesset record.
Thank You.
