MK Hasson Thrown Out of Knesset Over Bibipol Dollars


Throughout Tuesday's Knesset discussion on Kadima's accusations that the government was being kept together by a corrupt desire for money, rather than concern for the excellent of the state, MK Yoel Hasson chose an replace with method to display his enrage: Kadima Mks displayed signs decrying government policies, while Hasson dispersed a pile of phony dollar bills - with a picture of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu at the center. The “Bibipol” cash (a twist on the name “Monopol,” the name of the Hebrew edition of Monopoly) state in Hebrew, using the Prime Minister's not always complimentary nickname, “Bibi is buying his survival with taxpayer's money,” and in English, “In Bibi We Trust?”

Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin was not amused, and he ejected Hasson from the discussion.
