Yuli Tamir: may or may not have called opponent a bad word

Israel’s education minister used the ’s’-word during a televised session of a parliamentary committee on Tuesday - and it didn’t stand for school.

‘She just told me, “piece of sh*t,”‘ legislator Ronit Tirosh, a former director-general of the Education Ministry, exclaimed suddenly after Education Minister Yuli Tamir whispered something into her ear.

‘I can’t believe it,’ she added.

Tamir spoke up quickly: ‘No, what I said was that I am still cleaning up the trash and shit you left behind in the (educational) system.’

Spectators at the hearing of the Education, Culture and Sport Committee responded with nervous giggles to what was, even for Israel’s often boisterous parliament, unusually strong language.
