One Member of the Knesset issued an ethics claim against himself after he got into a drunken argument with nightclub security guards; another MK attempted to diagnose a “sexual perversion”; still another was arrested for smuggling 25,000 Ecstasy tablets into Israel. And a fellow parliamentarian delivered a moving eulogy for a colleague who was still alive.
These incidents rank among the “Top 33 Most Embarrassing Moments in Knesset History,” which Dalia Karpel of Haaretz compiled in today’s paper.
