1. About time too
Philip ,   Afila,Israel   (07.18.11)
This woman fully deserves what she got.Pity she was not banned for life.
2. Zoabi I can understand:she's Arab, she wants me dead so she
tom ,   tel aviv   (07.18.11)
sails wit the "flotilla". My govt. I DON'T understand: they sail on a Ship of Fools! How does one tolerate Tibi/Zoabi/Zubbi in one's Knesset?! Oh- and proudly calls it "democracy" , go figure or .. subscribe to New York Times.
3. Why only Zoabi?
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (07.18.11)
We should throw the whole lot of them out of the Knesset. If they want a career in politics, let them go to Jordan, the real Palestinian state. Then we can see how King Abdallah treats his Palestinian subjects.
4. She is not above the laws she and her freinds in the Kneset
Constitutional law ,   attorney   (07.18.11)
have enacted. She must internalize it. Even a committee of the United Nations determined that the closure is legal, so her action violated the law of the UN and the laws of the country which she represents.
5. Good riddance to bad rubbish
Moshe ,   Usa   (07.18.11)
6. NO TRAITORS ALLOWED!!!
David ,   Haifa, Israel   (07.18.11)
should have deported her to Gaza
7. Ban her from the Country too (end)
DT ,   TA Israel   (07.18.11)
8. Maybe a option for her
Zeev ,   Holland   (07.18.11)
Why is she not going to Gaza and live there, she can join the thing what they call the unity govermant.. She proberly wil not be able to behave like that there, at least not for Hamas. She is a woman they wil not let her in the goverment.
9. What a naughty, naughty girl, little Hanin was...
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (07.18.11)
and she got a spanking and sent to her room without dinner. Awwww....
10. Zoabi
Shoshi ,   Jerusalem   (07.18.11)
Isn't an MK supposed to be representing the interests of the country of which they represent? Her behavior with the flotilla was actually treason. I think most of us are still amazed that she is allowed to continue as an MK after her acts of treason. She rejected the complaints against her, referring to "every citizen's rights." If she was not an MK and was just a regular "citizen," she would not have gotten away with her treason. At least I'm assuming so. She should have been kicked out of the Knesset and stripped of her citizenship. Probably in Gaza they would have shot or hanged her for that.
11. Zoabi 2
Shoshi ,   Jerusalem   (07.18.11)
Wow! I watched that video only after I posted a previous comment. She's a real....[w]itch. She said she was just trying to fend the ushers off. She needed to just let them usher her out and not try to fend them off. She was making a huge scene about them escorting her out. Too bad they didn't carry her out - that's what she really deserved. "Tachat kol bikoret"!!
12. Hurry, Zoabi!
Devorah   (07.18.11)
If you jump in the water now, maybe you can swim out to the one-boat flotilla on its way to break the blockade!!! No, wait, Zoabi! Just break the blockade yourself - a one-woman flotilla.
13. Could it be that Israel finally has A BRAIN?
Mikey   (07.18.11)
14. Siding withthe enemy
Madeleine ,   Rehovot Israel   (07.18.11)
The very fact of her being on that flotilla indicated her sympathies for Hamas. She is a Member of Knesset, her loyalty should be first and foremost to the State of Israel. I thought that standing with the enemy in times of war (and no peace treaty with Hamas or the Palis means we are still in a state of war) is a punishable offence. she is a despicable person and should be stripped of her MK status for good.
15. A woman of courage.
Moshe ,   Israel   (07.18.11)
She has more character and integrity than the vast majority of the knesset members with whom she is forced to serve, many of whom have gone or soon will go (i.e. Olmert and Lieberman) to prison. She is a woman of great moral courage and strength.
16. Traitor
Kemal ,   Istanbul, Turkey   (07.18.11)
As a Israeli Parliament member, being in a group of people who does not recognize State of Israel means treason. If you she thinks acting like this is a part of democray, Zoabi is such a fool that she doesn't understand the notion of democracy.
17. Zoabi
mark ,   israel   (07.18.11)
This woman is in gross dereliction of duty. She is supposed to be representing the Arab sector - full time and heaven knows thet can use all the representation they can get. But then again you don't get into the headlines, do you? Disgusting. Regarding her behavior in the Knesset and with its staff she should be banned for life
18. Balad MK removed from Knesset until end of annual session?
Talula ,   Israel   (07.18.11)
Why not go the full nine yards and ban the dopey cow for good.
19. Well done! Remember Konrad Henlein
Marek ,   Czech Rep.   (07.18.11)
and his SdP party in Czechoslovak parliament in 1938 and what it was aimed for. Do not repeat mistake, do not let allow to be weakened from the inside.
20. Good riddance to bad rubbish & about time!
Tor Gnon ,   Bangui, CRA   (07.18.11)
21. Treason
Yael Schlichting ,   Raubling - Germany   (07.18.11)
A person, who does not work for the best of his/her country doesn't belong into its parliament. Hanin Zoabi and others seem to have not the best interest of Israel in mind! So if Zoabi want's to work in the best interest for Gaza she should move there and try to work with Hamas. Have fun Hanin!
22. 18
Birdi ,   Israel   (07.18.11)
This is the beginning of the end of this loud mouthed, badly behaved traitor. No doubt she will cause herself more trouble & will be banned for life from our Knesset. Just wait & watch !!
23. #22 then sit back and watch her scream racism!
Talula ,   Israel   (07.18.11)
Dr. Phil says (<- I love him!) when you chose your actions, you chose the consequences. I hope the members of the Knesset find the balls to boot her out for ever! Cannot believe she's been around this long with her big fat flappy mouth spewing out garbage day in and day out.
24. pure unjustice
dafer ,   haifa   (07.18.11)
25. she has idology not thiefology
ZOOZ ,   Gaza   (07.18.11)
everyone knows israeli low is like a rubber that you can manipulate only against Arabs as you can , this is a great women who did a political ligitamate act to prove her belifes and she gets punished for being a true MK who fights for his belifes while the real thives and mafia still not touched . not strange welcome to israel a country of fallse democracy
26. Lying cow has no "honour"
F Callen ,   Scotland   (07.18.11)
She clearly tries to stamp on one of the ushers.
27. Here is the reason she does not go to Gaza
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (07.18.11)
They will cut her arms off for displaying her arm skin without sleeves.
28. we need a 3 strikes and your out system
zionist forever   (07.18.11)
Let draw up a codified list of what an MK is or is not allowed to do and then have a three strikes and your out system. Strike 1 - Suspension for a number or weeks - months depending on the seriousness of the offense. Strike 2 - Suspension for even longer, heavy personal fine & fine for the party they are a member of etc. Strike 3 - Your banned from the remainder of the serving in the current Knesset and then your also banned from standing at the next election ( not a lifetime ban ). If they do stand and get elected one day in future after their ban is over if they offend for a fourth time then your out and you get a lifetime ban. Nobody can claim this is undemocratic as long as it comes into force after the next election then we can make the MKS agree to this as a condition of taking their seats. Hopfefully a system like that will help clean up politics and get the children out of the Knesset.
29. The enemies of Israel.....
SAhalom ,   U.S.A.   (07.18.11)
should be expelled not only from the Knesset but from Israel too! They don't behave and act like civilized people!
30. Israeli democracy has
Ralph ,   Caesarea   (07.18.11)
no lesson to receive from Arab totalitarism...
