(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) SAINT PETERSBURG, Russia, Oct 18 (KUNA) -- Kuwait's chief lawmaker fiercely retaliated to the Israeli parliament representative's comments on imprisoned Palestinian lawmakers at an international conference on Wednesday.

"The saying 'if you have no shame do as you please' applies to the comments made by this rapist (Israeli) parliament," National Assembly Speaker Marzouq Al-Ghanim told lawmakers gathered at Inter-Parliamentary Union talks.

During a discussion about the state of Palestinian lawmakers arrested by Israeli authorities, Al-Ghanim said this "represents the most dangerous types of terrorism - the terrorism of the state." "You should grab your bags and leave this hall as you have witnessed the reaction of every honourable parliament around the world," he said, addressing the Israeli delegation.

"Leave now if you have one ounce of dignity, you occupier, you murderer of children." The Israeli delegation left the talks following the remarks by Al-Ghanim and several other parliaments in the midst of applause. (end) as.sd
