Likud badboy calls handicapped Meretz MK ‘half a human’
Likud MK Oren Hazan calls handicapped Meretz lawmaker Ilan Gilon “half-a-human,” during a Knesset debate over legislation that would see government funding for the arts as contingent on “loyalty.”
Gilon had been criticizing Culture Minister Miri Regev from the podium when Hazan came to her defense.
Gilon and Hazan then exchanged words before the latter said “If you weren’t half a human, I would respond to you.”
Hazan later said he was not referring to Gilon’s disability.
