Member of Knesset Abtisam Mara'ena (Labor) spoke this morning (Tuesday) with Arel Segal and David Wertheim on 103fm about the difficult interview she had on Ofira Essig and Eyal Berkovitch's last program on Channel 12, and sharply attacked Berkovitch: "It was terribly, very violent Racist, so disrespectful.

I came to pay respect, and there I met vulgarity and a completely opaque person.

He was so violent and only wanted to talk and shout." As I

recall, Maraaena came to an interview in the shadow of the primaries in the party, where she was repeatedly asked to apologize for statements from 15 years ago about erasing Zichron Ya'akov, for which she had already apologized several times in the past. The Knesset member apologized again, but this was not provided the presenter Berkovic, who called her a "hypocrite" and said that such statements cannot be forgiven. In addition, Berkovic subjected her to a "loyalty test" and demanded that she say that she accepts that Israel is a Jewish state, since she said that she accepts this fact, Ger at her repeatedly for minutes and claimed she was a liar.

Listen to the full conversation:

"Great hatred towards gays"

In her interview, Marana also referred to her being the only Arab voice in the Knesset that works for the LGBT community in the Arab sector. According to her, "I stand by the Jewish and Arab LGBT community. I pay a price for it, but it is nothing compared to what the Arab LGBT community pays.

As far as the Arab members of the Knesset are concerned, this population is worth nothing, they should be buried.

There is a great hatred towards them."

She later also criticized Knesset member Jida Rinavi Zoevi Mamretz, saying: "She mainly sabotaged her role as a Knesset member, she constantly tried to prove how Arab she is and how much she does not belong in this house."
