wore leather sandals in the Knesset every single time he entered it. As well as shorts. This is a waste of time and energy from a man that has no ethics at all. Send Tibi back to Syria.

To come back from the exile, to establish a country and ......."CAN WE WEAR LEATHER?????????" What a BS.

I don't understand the reason for this- can someone explain it to me?

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Since when do Arabs tell Israeli’s what they can do? Oh, I forgot Olmert is the PM and he is an Arab sycophant.

Not pork of course , but beef ? So wear shoes , have a leather "attache" case . This has nothing to do with cruelty against animals , there everyone could agree i suppose . And what when a delegation from abroad comes ? Please , mr President , leave your shoes outside the Knesseth ! too crazy . Lets laugh .

Unless you use plastic tefillin (which isn't kosher). Absurd!

First of all what's wrong with wearing leather? I could understand the prohibition of wearing Shatnez (wool with linen), but leather? The Torah does not prohibit wearing leather, so there's nothing wrong with it. But if the Arab MK proposes it, the Leftists Liberals will GLADLY accept it. Talking about "Moral Dress Code", it would be "moral" to propose that women get dressed MODESTLY and men wear kipot and tzitzit. But again, if the Torah proposes it, the government must make sure to oppose it - and vehemently. Perhaps we should get Tibi to propose it.

dunce caps, pinnochio noses, and when caught lying or stealing a placard on the chest " I am a liar theif and lower than scum"

This follows in the pattern of Tibi(and most arabs)'s idol hero, mentor and predecessor Adolph Shikkelgruber Hitler the mentor of the Mufti Haj El Husseini . Hitler was a vegetarian , he could not be cruel to animals he could just run concentration camps and gas chambers. Tibi et al are worried about animals but support jihad , suicide bombings kassams etc. Tibi go back to being a gynecologist or go learn proctology and stick your nose where the sun don't shine instead of into the business of the merciful Jews!

So, no more meat? If meat is acceptable, will y'all just throw away the hides or what? If everything will be made of feathers, cotton and wool, I want to see that fashion show!!! . BTW, plastic footwear is very bad for feet, aside from the fact that plastics are oil-based. Oil is not a renewable resourse, whereas animals are. Oh, and doesn't oil finance a lot of terrorism?? But it's good to see that your MK's get to the important stuff, when there are no Qassams for a day or so. Sounds like Washington. Isn't it enough that we're run over with fruitcakes, nuts and flakes over here? Some things are really not worth imitating. I'm just about for legalizing fig leaves, if this heat doesn't abate. Unfortunately, if we don't get some rain soon, those fig leaves, too, will have to be imported, and who knows what that will finance.

What a croc, no pun intended. Tibi is opining about animal rights when he is a terror enabler through and through. He should save his anst and agitation first for the human species - Jews included!

for some really funny comments. Almost as hilarious as watching our own Sport 5 today,and hearing the Israeli comments, in Ivrit of course eg "Shahar Pe'er is tall(gavoah) , but she is clumsit!!! Another one describing his whole wheat sandwich during brilliant shots in a Sharapova match!!! And of course, money money money, non stop. As I said, it's good to laugh, so I thank you. You need a good sense of the ridiculous to survive here, that's for sure.

Comparing oil to animals? Have you learned nothing from the Civil War?

and this is all we have to worry about. Why is tibi in the knesset,he was never in the I.D.F.! He worries about animals and not about the "Jewish victims of peace".

Heck, by the time I got here, it was all over, except for those mopping up operations in the l960's. But if you want to know how I feel about the whole thing, this should give you a hint: A very genteel Southern lady was driving across the Tennessee River bridge one day. As she neared the top, she noticed a young man standing near the edge of the bridge fixin' to jump. She stopped her car, rolled down her window and said, "Please, darlin', please don't jump, think of your mother and father." He replied, "My Mom and Dad are both dead, I'm gonna jump." She said, "Well then darlin', think of your wife and children." He replied, "I'm not married and I don't have any kids." She said, "Well then, for God's sake, think of Robert E. Lee." He replied, "Who, the f...., is Robert E. Lee?" She replied, "Well, you just go on and jump then, you dumb-ass Yankee."

it MUST be ALL RIGHT with ha'Shem for people to wear LEATHER BELTS and SHOES and COATS. Ha'Shem clothed ADAM AND EVE IN ANIMAL SKINS as they left the Garden of Eden after sinning. Has the Knesset gone mad??? Why not address REAL PROBLEMS like armaments for buildings in Sderot? Add Ashkelon, Ekron, and Ashdod to the shielding protection list because the Prophet Zephaniah says those cities will be attacked, too.

go back to live in the dark middle ages . You want all the women to look as scarecrows certainly

If they cannot wear leather shoes or leather sandals, I guess that means they will all be wearing canvas sneakers. I can't wait to see the color of MK Tibi's sneakers. Let alone the Whole Kenesset wearing different colored sneakers, maybe according to Party. .

will choose to look decent, because they want to, rather than ordered to do so by you or anyone else. Sending out messages of 'You're misguided trash wheras I'm holy therefore superior' really only impresses the delusional and insecure writer, if that.Those living within a particular religious framework, dress mostly as their 'group' do. Others will not do so because of insults and ugly 'one upmanship'. Maybe they will choose to look more respectable,even occasionally, maybe they won't. Give 'mooser' only ( if asked to do so) within your OWN circle, as the wise and calm Klausenberg sect have done for years. They tell themselves how to behave, but never others...that's why they're loved and respected. Learn from them.

They aren't on a neighbourhood committee meeting, they are representatives of our country. There is no reason why they should be dressed in anything but appropriate professional attire when at work.

Why stop short in the Knesset. Some women arrive to work dressed like they are ready for a day at the beach. It's disgusting and it's normally the single women looking to snare some poor unsuspecting male singleton. Universally, people should not wear fur, it's gross and sick and leather coats? well they just look like something left over from an S&M party. Sandals and socks are also a big no no and so are trainers with tailored trousers. Do either of the above and people have every reason to laugh at you. You've been warned.

In the summer specially. Those "ecologial leather" things, "breathe through" materials only add to my missery. Leather sandals are the only solution for me. Tibi is not worried for people being butchered and cares about animals, like his smentor Arafat also a vegetarian. Nothing wrong with vegetarians, I'm all for it, but comming for this individual

Are you an MK ? so this guy can't influence you , and i hope this will never happen , not to you or to me .
