An incredible incident occurred Monday (04.08.2025) in his parliament Israel (Kneset), when the Member Effe Cashifs of the left Coalition Hadash-Ta’al got up and talked about the situation in the Gaza Strip.
In particular, the left -wing MP argued that Israel’s war in Gauze strip He is a “genocide” citing the words of the acclaimed Israeli writer and novelist, David Grossman.
Recently, David Grossman, during an interview with the Italian newspaper “La Repubblica”, said in “vast pain and cracked heart” that Israeli military forces commit “genocide” in Gaza.
After Effe Cashif quoted the words of the Israeli intellectual before Knesset, he added that “For years I have refused to use the term genocide, but now, after the pictures I have seen and the conversations with people who were there, I can no longer avoid it».
At that time, as the Israeli newspaper Haaretz argues, some Israeli MPs and the Knesset presidency reacted, who even interrupted Cashif’s speech, saying that “this is not a quote but invent” while asking him to leave.
Tensions escalated abruptly in the Israeli parliament, with the far -right MP Tali Gotlibb taking the baton shouting: “The word genocide will not be heard here.” Then A member of the Knesset guard violently removed Cashif from the step.
“Yesterday, during my speech in memory of the murdered slaughter of Sfariam 20 years ago, I was violently removed from the speakers’ step in the middle of my words, just because I quoted the words of Israeli writer David Grimmas against Genito.”
Last night, during speeches in memory of the slaughter of massacre that he was buried 20 years ago, I was violently lowered from the speaker in the middle of my words, only because I quoted the words of Israeli author David Grossman against the Genuside in Gaza.
Even critical writers must not quote in the only democracy in the IDF.

He then added: “Even the quotation of critical writers is now prohibited in the parliament of the only democracy in the Middle East. Paraphrasing Haine: Where authors are forbidden, the dissidents of power will be banned in the end. “
