Quote of the Day

What [Gafni] said was an unfortunate statement, it was crossing a red line... I think politicians should not lose their self control on the Knesset podium.. he later apologized, but this is something no politician should say. one can say very sharp criticism, but not speak like this...it is not for naught that I need a security detail - as Minister of Interior I should normally not get such security, but there is incitement...saying things like this is crossing lines.

  -- Minister of Interior Ayelet Shaked, regarding MK Gafni calling PM Bennett a murderer

Shaked is 100% right but Gafni is not the only one guilty of crossing lines (whatever those lines are). I don't know if Shaked has crossed any lines, but plenty of MKs and ministers from both sides of the aisle have crossed lines in recent months. This term has been very contentious and the politics has gotten very polarized (I think it started a while ago but now it is really bad)  and it is not just individual statements but behaviors of politicians and that also leads to statements....
