Unfortunately, MK Zakhlaka, it appears to me, is correct in his defense of calling another MK a fascist.
He says that in the Knesset this is not unaceptable language.
Unfortunately, from what I have heard of Knesset debates, MK Zakhlaka is correct that this is not considered unacceptable. After all, I remember calls of "traitor", I think there were also some previous uses of the words "Nazi" and "Fascist", and, of course, there were many other disgraceful terms used by one MK against another.
So, despite my wish that such language would not be used in the Knesset, it seems that MK Zakhlaka was within his rights in using this phrase, however distasteful it may be.
That is the price you pay for being the "best show in town". :-(
