Jordanian MP asks why the country is celebrating stepping on an Israeli flag

Jordanian member of Parliament Raed al-Khaza'leh spoke on Monday about the kerfuffle over Jordanian trade unions placing Israeli flags at the entrances of their buildings, forcing visitors to step on them as they enter.

Saying that the country celebrated the incident for three days, asked, "Is this the level that we have reached? That our heroism is trampling on a flag?"

Of course, he emphasized, he hates Israel, and he saluted the Egyptian singer whose song "I Hate Israel" was a hit a couple of years back, although he admits that Arab rulers (Jordan presumably excluded) have interests in maintaining relationships with Israel.
