holocaust education in israel

it is very rare to have physical violence in the israeli parlament, but even this happens now and in what a context:

Here is the exchange between religious Member of the Knesset(MK) Yakov Cohen and Justice Ministry official, Attorney Amnon De Hartog, erupted after they left an Education Committee meeting.

MK Cohen: "You’re destroying the Torah world"
Attorney De Hartog: "You are a beast, shut your mouth"
MK Cohen: "you’re worse than the Germans; they wanted to destroy the body and you want to destroy the soul"
Attorney De Hartog: "If you don’t shut up I’ll slap you"
MK Cohen: "I’m waiting"
Attorney De Hartog: is slapping MK Yacov Cohen.

The day after in the media attorney De Hartog apologizes for incident, explains he lost family in the Holocaust.

MK's from both sides of political divide rush to attorney's defense!!!
