1. The sheer hutzpa of the Arab MKs and Meretz
citizen   (02.15.11)
is unbelievable. This law is a direct result of their arrogance and immoral behavior. What did they think, that we need to reward treacherous parliamentarians for betraying Israel? No more.
2. Makes me wonder
Arie ,   BaGolan   (02.15.11)
Why is there no requirement for a pledge of allegiance in the Knesset? By listening to the members of Hadash, Balad, and Merezt, it appears al Qaeda has as many representatives in the Knesset as does the Israeli left. OH WAIT..they are one and the same!
3. Bishara bill
Jorge el judio ,   Israel/USA/Argentina   (02.15.11)
Good. Israel does not need enemies from inside.
4. FYI for MK Talab El-Sana
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (02.15.11)
Natan Zada and Ami Popper were never MKs nor are they getting a pension from the Israeli government.
5. BILL MUST BE MODIFIED
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (02.15.11)
Att MK Zoabi's name to it Traitors don't deserve to get shot, put them to the wall for prompt dispatch
6. 'There's a limit to the madness' , Yes there is....
Julie ,   Israel   (02.15.11)
Finally, an end to some of the insanity. Now let"s get rid of the rest of the madness starting with MK Hanin Zoabi, Chaim Oron, MK Talab El-Sana, MK Nissim Zeev and MK Barakeh .......all very "lowly politicians".
7. if the Knesset pass a bill saying the sky is blue
(02.15.11)
the arabs and leftist parties will still object to it.
8. US traitors get paid, obumma gets his check on time.

9. #8 ur comment not relevant this is Israel not USA
(02.15.11)
and no matter what you think they are two separate countries!
10. Right wing MKs cynical hypocracy...
IMC ,   Jerusalem   (02.15.11)
If this law were intended to have any real teeth in it they wouldn't have placed the prison sentence bar at 10 years. Most right wing and religious former MKs who have been found guilty of crimes with turpitude and sentenced for crimes with turpitude have served approximately 4 to 6 years in jail and therefore they happily continue to receive their pensions and all other benefits! If this law were a fair and serious law then the bar would have been set lower and there would be a whole lot of right wing and religious MKs who would lose their pensions. In my opinion the Knesset continues to take care of its own and isn't at all interested in protecting the rights of the citizens it is elected to represent!
11. good morning
Big Levi   (02.15.11)
its about time. what a shame...
12. Bishara Bill
Nili   (02.15.11)
Great--now stop paying that traitor! And to the MKs who are against the law (1) It is we, the Israeli citizens who have to pay these traitors and we object (2) If you can't defend out country you need to leave as well
13. Shame that 70% of MKs did not vote in favor
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & NY   (02.15.11)
There needs to be a ruling of a minimum attendance and participation for MKs. Here is a very serious bill passed with 73 MKs not voting - that means that 60% abstained in one way or another, thus 70% did not vote in favor of this bill. Why do we pay any of them pensions or salaries? That is a crime
14. Israeli Jews Are Their Own Worst Enemies

Do you people not see how crazy you are? Here you are, living in a country defined by race and religion. That doesn't work, my friends, not in the 21st century. Come on, join the human race, and institute a nation for all its citizens. But of course you won't. Oppression is a wine that goes to the head, and it's addictive. And you're got the addiction. The most beautiful people in that crazed country of yours is that Palestinian lady who had the courage--both moral and physical--to get on that boat bringing supplies to Gaza. What a heroine! She makes the rest of you look like the hateful, patriarchal fascists you have all become. As an American, I'm thrilled that at last people are starting to wake up to the lying nature of the Israel Lobby in this country. Not one of them has the personal honor or integrity of a sea sponge. Here's hoping you accept the sane advice from your Arab Knesset members. They're the real Jews among you. Israel isn't Judaism anymore, it's Judeo-Zionism, a language or torture, armed oppression and frantic rationalizations for a system you all know damn well is rotten. Israel is Weimer, and you're all in moral free-fall. Here's hoping the world has the guts to stop you when you finally get around to doing the genocide of the Palestinians you're all working so hard to set up. Never again! Not for anybody! Not for Palestinians, not for Jews, not for anybody! No more ethnic cleansing!
