Party leaders of "powerful Israel", "MK Aryeh Eldad and MK Michael Ben-Ari, ignited tonight (Thursday) a Palestinian flag in front of the Knesset building in Jerusalem to protest the vote expected tonight on upgrading Palestinian status at the UN. They committed the act after police prevented them and other activists of the movement to ignite the flags in front of the UN headquarters in Armon HaNatziv neighborhood, where severe clashes between police and activists developed, and three of them were arrested, including Benzi Gofstein, one of the main activists of Israeli right.

-Eldad and Ben-Ari igniting the palestinian flag in front of the Knesset

Knesset members claim that they were attacked by police at a demonstration in front of the presidential palace, and that they intend to file a complaint with the Department of Internal Affairs. Ben-Ari claimed that he suffered bruises all over his body and a scratch to his right hand, caused by the violence of the police officer who he claims tried to take the flag away from his hands.

"Even though we warned the police that we are members of the Knesset and that they can not take any violent action against us, they did not refrain from using violence to defend the flag of the PLO, to violate the freedom of expression of Knesset members, all under the guise of preserving the public peace," said Knesset members after the two committed the provocative act. "Even police violence will not be able to deny us the freedom of speech and protest, given the fawning and hesitancy shown by the Israeli government in the fight against the establishment of a Palestinian state."

-Protest in front of the UN HQ in Jerusalem

Yesterday announced MK Eldad Ben-Ari their intention to reach, under parliamentary immunity, and burn flags in front of the UN headquarters. MK Eldad said yesterday: "One would expect that Netanyahu would react strongly against Abbas's one-sided action in the UN." he said, "Israel must immediately announce that the meaning of this one-sided step is the cancellation of the Oslo Accords. It's not enough to fight at the UN against Abbas's request, we need to declare the Palestinian Authority as illegal and burn their flags, once sought to recognize them as a state. "

MK Ben-Ari added to the party's leader words, saying: " the PLO flag burning is an unequivocal message - there has never been a Palestinian state and never will be. her banner is a mean to destroy the State of Israel and we should therefore eliminate it and what it represents. Where the government falter, an action must be done which has a clear statement. "

Meanwhile, "powerful Israel" headquarters published theiir platform for the upcoming elections. Among other things, the subject of assimilation, and one section of the document states: "Israel will encourage strength and support investment of resources to strengthen and deepen Jewish identity among the Israeli youth, preventing assimilation."
