Joint List MK Ofer Cassif is again accused of misogyny after telling Religious Zionism MK Orit Strock during a Knesset committee meeting that she has “nothing between [her] ears.”
Strock had shouted during the session that there is no Palestinian people.
“There is no Palestinian people just like there is nothing between your ears,” he responded.
“Enough insulting, humiliating and belittling women because they are women,” Labor MK Ibtisam Mara’ana tweets.
“You’ve forced me to defend Struck,” she laments, in reference to her political rival. “You will learn to control your mouth because we will not agree to [these outbursts]. Period.”
Last week, Cassif told Yesh Atid MK Merav Ben Ari during a heated plenum debate to “stop your hen-like screeching. Other than shouting you can’t do anything else.”

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
