i24 News: A Knesset lawmaker was ejected from a Knesset hearing Sunday after comparing the new Covid restrictions to the Holocaust.
Gadi Yevarkan, a member of the Likud Party, criticized the “Green Pass,” given to Israelis who have received their complete inoculations against Covid or recovered from Covid in the past six months.
“The majority of Israelis don’t have a ‘Green Pass,’” Yevarkan stated, adding that “millions of Israelis are without one, you’re leaving out millions of citizens.”
He was asked to be quiet by the committee chair, Knesset member Gilad Kariv of the Labor Party, as his time to speak was over.
After this, Yevarkan reportedly stated, “You can not end my right to speak. I will stop when I want, you will not tell me to be silent.”
“You’re doing what they do in Austria… you’re only missing the concentration camps.”
He reportedly continued to interrupt Covid professor Salman Zarka, and Kariv instructed him to leave.
“It’s one thing to express an opinion, and it’s something else to disrupt a committee meeting,” Kariv stated.
“Disgraceful words,” he continued, calling the comments “a low point.”
Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz of Meretz called the comments by Yevarkan “sickening.”
“The comparison Yevarkan made is sickening,” says Horowitz. “The comments are bordering on Holocaust denial, and it’s a particularly disgusting statement against medical workers who are giving their souls for public health.”

Israel is in desperate need of such a man for Prime Minister.
Kol Hakavod for saying it how it is. Most Israelis are with him 100%.
He is against the country. How terrible.
I totally agree with #1 9:48. He’s a hero as the only minister FOR the country and loves the people.
He is 100% right. The roll out of this shot without clear evidence of its efficacy and safety goes against the Nuremberg codes.
Why should he be ejected? He should be rewarded. Everything he said is 100% true. Why Matzav always censors me when I try to make similar comments, just shows how farkoft Matzav really is.
