(IsraelNN.com) During a Knesset debate, MK Michael Ben-Ari asked Internal Security Minister, Yitzhak Ahronovitch, why there was no lack of leniency toward right-wing demonstrators as there has been to motorcycle protestors who blocked major highways.

"I congratulate the police on the forgiving attitude toward the motorcycle protestors. But I'd like to know, Mr. Secretary, why during the demonstrations that took place five years ago in the same places on the Ayalon highway by demonstrators protesting against the uprooting of Jews from their homes, people were beaten with clubs and minors were detained until the end of proceedings?”
