WARNING: This is a high volume ping list

Arab MK Ahmed Tibi has filed a request with Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin to expand the mosque in the Knesset sanctuary. The room is narrow, Tibi claims, and has no fan, and it must be expanded. The Arab MK said he filed the request on behalf of the increasing number of Muslims who come to pray at the Knesset.
Knesset Speaker Rivlin responded that within a year, a new wing of the Knesset would be ready, thereby freeing up space to enlarge the room currently used as a mosque.
MK Gila Finkelstein (NRP) called Tibi's request a provocation. "I pass through the corridor opposite the Knesset mosque dozens of time a day," she said, "and never have I seen one worshipper there - not even Tibi himself."
WARNING: This is a high volume ping list
...and when you've got people with their faces on the floor and their asses in the air, the resulting release of foul wind definitely demands a fan. I mean, how could they be so insensitive?
Of course, this will mean that all Muslim-dominated legislatures in the world will need to provide nice, big side rooms so ALL THEIR JEWISH REPRESENTATIVES CAN HAVE A PLACE TO WORSHIP, TOO. What? You say there are NO Jewish representatives in Muslim-dominated countries? Oh. Well, then; that's different. Fair is fair.
HA! More Zionist lies! Iran's powerless parliament has, by law, ONE Jewish MP. What, one Jewish legislator out of one billion citizens of Muslim countries isn't enough? More Jewish aggression!

Look, the government of Israel is BUSY!
First, there are Jews to be transferred, second, more terrorists need to be released from jail, and third, more Palestinian Land needs to be returned to the Palestinians.
