"A magistrate court judge sees a protester, says this guy, he has a 2nd degree with glasses, I don't think he's dangerous," he read from the plenum podium.
"He has a Rolex, a Mercedes and eats caviar. Do you understand? This is a judge. He doesn't care that the one with glasses bit a policeman," he added.
The bites - and the explanation
As I recall, only last month Amsalem caused a stir when he said: "When I saw the demonstration at night (Muchash; MI) I did not understand what was shining there, in the end I realized that it was the Rolex watches of all the demonstrators, look how many Mercedes are here today!".

Those around Amsalem told Israel Hayom at the time: "This is a watch given to him by his brother, Yoel, who passed away a year ago from the cursed disease as a memory of him. He left him nothing but this and it has a high sentimental value. Those who know Amsalem know that it is not at all He is interested in what he is wearing and what the price of the watch is. He thought it was something cheap at 500 NIS.
