That wants to change our icons and holidays. S> T > F > U

I would trust a shin bet agents. Those guys have devoted their whole life to protect Israel and its citizens. They know more about the situation here than most of us. I'd follow on Hasson's words instead of believing Olmert and Peretz telling us we need to give Arabs more and more for nothing but hate in return, and strip ourselves of any defendable self-respect.

It is rediculous how the Israeli right are so willing to accuse every Arab as a security threat when in reality all the settlers are a security threat to Israelis and the existence of the Jewish state...they are draining our resources, money and security... This is all I have to say about this article, it disgusts me how racist and arrogant Jews can be to Arabs... What about all of our ministers investigations, doesn't that constitute a security risk to Israel? Stealing money from Shoah fund, raping women, sexual assault, fraud, money laundering...yea that actually IS a bigger threat to Israeli security because it dis-illusions people and their faith in the government. and the state.. good luck maintaining yourselves, we need to remove all the kadima and replace them with educated, degree holding individuals who are EDUCATED FOR THEIR MINISTRY POSITIONS!!!!!

AND I WANNA KNOW::: WHAT RELATIONSHIP CAN BE BROKEN... AND MUCH LESS.. THERE IS A FRAGILE RELATIONSHIP???

you're unhappy about the perception that Israeli Arabs are disloyal? THEN, STOP SUPPORTING ISRAEL'S ENEMIES. STOP ELECTING ISRAEL'S ENEMIES TO PARLIAMENT. STOP ATTACKING THE STATE. STOP ATTACKING THE POLICE. START PAYING YOUR TAXES. START VOLUNTEERING FOR NATIONAL SERVICE. START COOPERATING WITH THE POLICE, THE IDF, THE GSS, ETC. you want people to think that you are decent , law-abiding, loyal, citizens? start acting like decent, law-abiding, loyal citizens. it's real simple.

Arabs want to live peacefully with Jews as long as the co-existence does not include a Jewish state. It's alright for Arabs to have 22 Arabic states, but to have one Jewish state is undemocratic. Balad stands for this. Balad stands for anti-Zionist (read : anti Israel) education. And balad was ELECTED by these "democratic" Arabs who want peaceful co-existence. Right Majadele ?????

Arab MKs have gone as far as liekly treason (Bishara) and in one wayy or another most of you are working to undermine your country. Don;t start blaming the ones who are simply pointing this out!

Arabs aim to overpopulate Israel and take over in the elections. Call me paranoide or whatever, but watch and see what will happen in the next years. In the meantime, Raleb Majadele, shove you fake israeli passport to you know where.

your ignorance and lack of knowledge how to express yourself in the English language is disheartening. Your elloquent comment about how he does not sing the anthem or stand...needs some investigation I am an American and Israeli, I stand for the Israeli national anthem...and cry why? Because I am Jewish and Israel is my home...now, EVEN as a child and to this day, I will not sing the national anthem of America but I will stand and pay respects because I live and support that country...but it is not MY country, I am not Christian, nor am I white...I can salute the flag but no I will not say the anthem and 'Under G-D' Does this make me non-Amerian? suspicious? No, I pay taxes and vote, that is enough to make me a good citizen, speaking opinions of decent is not un-patriotic, it is healthy

That's what you get for putting an arab in the knesset and giving him a ministry!

The "delicate relationship" between Jews and Israeli Arabs has been ALREADY ruptured by the never ending hatred, lies and racist remarks of Sheikh Raed and his minions and of course, by the vicious and criminal activities of the Arab MKs who join hands with the enemies of Israel in time of war and in time of cease-fire. Now you are starting to do that yourself. Mister don't preach us about racist remarks until the Israeli Arabs and their elected representatives stop abusing the Israeli democracy!

A fifth column can only be appeased & bought for so long. The price goes way too high & the loyalty is barely skin deep. Sad yes. But true.

B"H Every democracy in the world would not a Jew lead it, because the majority population was a different religion and chose a brother to lead. Now Israeli Jews formed their own country so they could be responsible at a national level and chose a democracy to be like the nations of the world, so that it could be understood better by these nations and interact with them successfully. And her come the Arab delegation stating that everything should be fair and that they too should be able to import a majority into Israel because this is a democracy! My friend, Israel is a Jewish democracy, the United States is a Christian Democracy, the Vatican is a Catholic Theocracy, and Saudi Arabia is an Arab Kingdom. But having no Jewish democracy national leadership outside of Israel, the only place a Jew can be responsible at a national level for his or her conduct is in Israel. Israel is not giving that up. Democracy is subservient to religion in every democracy, and Israel is no exception. Israel intends to take the necessary means to preserve the Jewish democracy, and the Arabs cannot play the "fairness" card on that one, since there is no democracy in the world that has Jewish national leadership. The fairness in the establishment of the State of Israel is fundamentally that a Jew has national responsibility and is not a slave to the world. That fairness cannot be undermined by destroying the only government in the world where a Jew is the leader. Now let us consider the Barakeh quote: "Israel's Arab population counts 1.4 million, all of whom want to live with the Jews while respecting the law and public order. It is impossible to generalize from a single incident," he added. This is respectable, but it does not take into account that there are some Arabs that do indeed collaborate with Hamas's treasonous vision of a State replacing Israel. "People like MK Israel Hasson … will only harm the delicate fabric between Jews and Arabs living here," Majadele said. "I regret the fact that MK Hasson chose to use a generalized accusation against all of Israel's Arab population when the allegations against former MK Bishara have not been proven in court." Majadele read a generalized accusation. But the text of the accusation is as follows: "Hasson told Ynet earlier Thursday that Israel might have to wage a second war for independence against its Arab minority whom he said would be supported by Hamas." The minority subset being referenced is NOT the general population but rather the "Arab minority whom he said would be supported by Hamas." It is a subset of the general population that is being referenced, the treasonous part that is supported by Hamas in its attempt to overthrow Israel. In short, the slam the Sport Minister made was a slam dunk at the basketball court and not the court of understanding. I am not sure what Science, Culture, or Sport he is practicing by making such absurd accusations. I see these accusations as totally unfounded based on the article text.

Majadele stated: "Israel's Arab population counts 1.4 million, all of whom want to live with the Jews while respecting the law and public order. It is impossible to generalize from a single incident" A correction needs to be made on the above statement. Not ALL of Israel's Arab population respects the law and public order. Following are 2 examples from just the last few days that show how UNRESPECTFUL to the Jews the Arab population can be. "(IsraelNN.com) An Arab mob of several thousand - including young men on horseback and others waving PLO flags - surrounded and threatened about 150 Jews from Haifa who went to a public forest to celebrate Independence Day. " "Residents of Haifa and Carmiel participating in Memorial Day ceremonies enraged when they hear fireworks coming from nearby Arab neighborhoods " Ahiye Raved Published: 04.22.07, 22:56 / Israel News Majadele made the statement 'It is impossible to generalize' and then does exactly that. Oh yes and it is not a “single incident”. I think that finally Jews are backed up against a wall (there are a few new ones lately) and have to make a choice to go back into exile or clean up the Jewish land and make it our country. G-d willing military leaders and government leaders with a spiritual love of the land as well as the intelligence to make our country whole are ready to step up and go forward. Pretty sure it will be unpopular with the DISRESPECTFUL Arabs residing in/occupying our land. In case any fellow Jews haven’t noticed, no matter what we do we are not popular so nothing lost!!!!!

What are you doing in "Occupied Palestine" traitor? Go to your "Free Palestine" paradise in Gaza, Jenin, Ramallah, Jericho etc. - or better yet, convert to Islam and don a black veil and marry a Palestinian (your friend in Jenin comes to mind). Let's see how your idiotic Leftist ideology goes hand in hand with the "compassionate and peaceful Islam". And don;t call anybody here "stupid" - TRAITOR!

B"H You write with amazing clarity, stating, "It's all only because of the occupation, stupid." It is only because Jews occupy Israel with a Jewish Democracy that this Arab protests support of the Jewish presence. As I read it, he would rather have a state that did not protect its Jewish majority. He calls the Bishara incident a "single incident", but there are indeed additional incidents of not honoring Israeli Jewish sovereignty that by not being included in the singular incident seem to convey acceptance to me. A recent OTHER example is: (IsraelNN.com) An Arab mob of several thousand - including young men on horseback and others waving PLO flags - surrounded and threatened about 150 Jews from Haifa who went to a public forest to celebrate Independence Day. " I think that I need to hear cries against subversion from the Arab goverment officials before I start believing that there is support for the concept of a Jewish democracy at that level. I have not heard that at all. So I see some light in your point, "It's all only because of the occupation, stupid." It is only because Jews occupy Israel in a Democratic majority that this government official found it desireable to attack the Jewish representation. He wants the Jewish representation censored and driven out to subvert it for no good reason as I discussed in my previous feedback response.

not only will the hamas/fata party hold us hostage but we will be held hostage from within now by others. this is why we need an only Jewish state. the arab citizens are only marginal

Why do not Israel Hasson have respect to this region. Does he forget that his last name is even Arabic? Why is he so racist?

You're my dream girl even without a dowry love ,faruk gaza نساء مثيرة

the Israelis have a traitor in the cabinet as well. Good job Israel! Your passion for democracy in the worst neighborhood in the world will definitely pay off. Love your enemies! They will move you forward. Yeah! Right!

How come nobody ever slams Arab countries for remarks about their Jewish minority? Oh wait...most of those countries don't have a Jewish population AT ALL.

IF MAJADELE DOESN'T LIKE IT, TELL HIM TO LEAVE ISRAEL AND TO GO LIVE WITH HIS ARAB BRETHREN.

So when he talks about the Arabs' intentions toward Israel and Jews, I tend to believe him.

Excluding the Druse and the Bedouins, many Israeli Arabs are disloyal citizens. Many openly supported Hezbollah during the war with Lebanon. He has a valid point.
