he represents the criminal element of israeli arabs and presents himself as who arab israelis are. whatever punishment he receives for anything he ever gets caught doing will never be enough to pay for the irreversible damage to jew-arab relations.

While I agree with 99% of what's been said here about Bshara, I totally disagree that the reason for the "sewage flowing through the heart of Arab vilages" and the "Arab municipalities workers not getting their salaries" is due to the neglect of the Israeli Goverenment. It is well known (and publicly declared) that there is a tax revolt in the Arab "sector" where the majority of the Arab population does not pay any municipal taxes. They think that this is a good way to protest the Nakbah, but in reality, they have been cutting the branch they sit on. Ultimately, without taxes being paid, there is no money for salaries and no money for sewage control or other necessary services and infrastructure develpment. And now they expect to get paid and have their sewage fixed with money paid as taxes by the Jewish population while they support traitors and bloodsuckers like Azmi Bshara and dance on the roofs when Katiushas fall in Haifa? Not in my book sir! If they want salaries and infrastructure, then they better start paying municipal taxes like the rest of the civilized world! If not, then they should shut up and enjoy the slime and poverty!

its true he is the headache of zionist israel, I gave him my voice in the elections, and he is the best arab keneset, als its true that BIshara is among the wisest and most intellectual members the Knesset ever saw. His charisma, speeches, richness of expression and also the honest

Bishara - wise, intellectual, charismatic? He looks like a taxi driver, talks like one and behaves like one. He openly stated on BBC he that his motherland is occupied, and he'll fight it, in other words whatever his reasons are - he is an adversary of the Sate of Israel, and must be treated such. Israeli Arabs mustn't complain, as thei general Jewish public judges the Arab population by their representatives - Bishara, Tibi, Darawshe. By the way, why do they all have moustaches and beer bellies?

that the Arab population cannot be trusted.

that eventually the Arab population will come around and both Jews and Arabs will live happily ever after in a single state. Sorry! It is not going to happen. Bishara is a typical Arab who hates the Jewish sovereignity and seeks its destruction.

can enjoy total impunity then the Jewish state is in crisis. GET RID OF THAT (BISHARA) THE VIRAL INFECTION NOW!

should be given one right: OUT of Israel without the possibilty of return. Let them move to any of the 22 Arab states where they can find peace, love and prosperity.

If you wish to be accepted as equals by the Israeli jewish majority, you will need to make the correct noises, you will need to make the Jewish majority feel that you are their ally not their enemy. Mr Bishara asked Arab nations to continue their war against Israel. This does not built trust. How do you expect the Jews to trust you when this man represents you? You cannot expect a people to accept you, when your leaders ask neighbouring countries to destroy their homeland. The relationship between Israeli Jews and Arabs is bad. You can blame the other, but you can only change yourself.

As long as the Arab community is not given a stake in the gen. Israeli community,they will feel like 2'nd class citizens.Fix the sewage,fresh water promblems,and pay the public workers.Treat the Arab community with respect and they will respond. B'Shalom Yochanan.

It has to be impossible that any self-respecting nation would allow a traitor to be a member of Parliament. We are not talking about free speech here. We are talking about a member of the Knesset who openly sides with the enemy and is disloyal to the state to the point of stating his desire for its destruction as a Jewish State. Even most of the far-left loons who nominally identify themselves as Jewish do not advocate Israel's destruction and most are mental patients, professors, and not Knesset members. The right-wing loons who supported Rabin's assassination and a new Jewish theocratic State called "Judea" likewise are not MKs. With this in mind, unless the Knesset is dumber and more corrupt than most people think it is, Bishara must be an Israeli agent whose job it is to have the other side trust him while gaining useful information for the Mossad.

Dr. Riad Bishara is a simple vetrinarian who treats the animals of Jew and Arab alike with NO politics. He is a saint of a man, an owner of agod name, who is respected for his humaness, and non-political stance. LEARN FROM YOUR COUSIN!!!

"Despite this, they do no constitute a danger or a "fifth column." The overwhelming majority of the Arab community is loyal to Israel's values an culture and resides here by choice, rather than by coercion." Salah and his Northern Islamic Movement presents no danger to Israel, as he calls for a 3rd intefada (has the second ended?, if so when?) ? How many times have Arab Israelis been involved in West Bank terror attacks, armament smuggling, and other acts that undermine Israeli security? Many times! Now they are seeking to change the fundamental nature of Israel from the one, small Jewish state into a secular state. If they have such a strong desire to embrace their Arab muslim roots, they should go to Arab Palestine, ie Jordan. What are these values they share with the Jewish majority that makes them want to stay? The welfare system? The far superior standard of living and personal freedoms they enjoy in Israel vs that of any Arab country? Or what? If they wish to remain and not be treated as a 5th column, then THEY need to prove their loyalty to the state, not vice versa. They are 'enjoying' the reputation they have established for themselves and continue to reinforce by their actions, and blaming the Jews for it..

Since you hate Israel, why don't you move to an arab country. You keep returning to Israel admitting that as a minority, you have itt 10,000X better than in other countries in the area.
