David ,   On this planet   (07.20.11)
2. She was born in Nazareth
Jarda ,   Czech Republic   (07.20.11)
Where was born Lieberman?
3. # 2
Dana Rothschild ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.21.11)
it doesn't matter where who was born... what matters is to be loyal to your country... what matters for the Israeli Knesset Member is to represent the Israeli citizens, and not terror groups....
4. #2, So?
Softwalker ,   Canada   (07.21.11)
Let me see if I've got this straight, Jarda: By virtue of being born in Nazareth, Ms. Zoabi has acquired the right to not only call for the destruction of the state, but also to act towards that goal, in defiance of the laws of the state ? Wow ... even another famous Nazarene, Christ himself, never put himself above the law.
5. to Jarda @ 2, - What's your point, Vanessa?
leo ,   usa   (07.20.11)
6. To#3
Jawarhal ,   Mumbai, India   (07.21.11)
Zoabi is a descendant of invaders and occupiers, while Lieberman is a descendant of the indigenous people of ISRAEL, you hypocritisal racist.
7. #2 Jardie - Where were YOU born ?
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (07.21.11)
Pls. don't tell me Palestine, there ain't no such place If you're in the Czech Republic, Lieberman can be anyplace he wants to be
8. No. 2, somehow you always miss the point of any Ynet article
Marco ,   Spain   (07.21.11)
9. No. 2, indeed it is very unfortunate she was born in Israel
Marco ,   Spain   (07.21.11)
10. 2
Birdi ,   Israel   (07.20.11)
who cares where this loud mouthed, bitter,woman was born. She does not belong in a democratic government & should have been banned from our Knesset for life. Hoping she will continue to spiral down into oblivion & land up in Gaza, where she belongs.
11. Zoabi is an ungrateful
Michal ,   Tel Aviv   (07.20.11)
nasty Israeli citizen, it doesn't matter where she was born. And maybe you should improve your English, it's an embarrassment to the Czech Republic.
12. To #2 And your point is..........?
Andi ,   Israel   (07.21.11)
That people born outside Israel like most Palestinian 'refugees' should stay where they were born?
13. Hanin Zoabi, a waste of space
tiki ,   belgium   (07.20.11)
This article shouldn't have been written, for it gives to much attention to this woman. She should be totally ignored; in the Knesset, in the media, don't interview her, don't answer her questions, don't ask for her opinion. Just ignore her and you'll make her insignificant & invisible, which is precisely where she should be, for her mouth is to big for her brain.
14. Jarda vhere a Germans from Sudeten?
Karel ,   Bratislava, Slovakia   (07.21.11)
Jarda, where are Germans from Sudeten? Schould Israel do the same with Palls as Tchechs made with Germas?
15. DISGRACE OF ISRAEL.
JOHN ,   UK   (07.21.11)
No normal country would have a women like this in their government. She is a traitor and still allowed to travel aroud the world insulting the Jewish state.
16. no such word as misfortunate -should be unfortunate
(07.21.11)
17. No one understood but every one react
Jarda ,   Czech Republic   (07.21.11)
So simply. She's at home, Lieberman not. P.S. Expulsion of Germans was crime.
18. 17 Jarda
R ,   Israel   (07.21.11)
Everyone understood. You don't understand, but it doesn't really matter.
19. to # 17
Ellen ,   Israel/USA   (07.21.11)
Jarda--since when does being in your "home" country give you the right to call for that country' s destruction. Do the words traitor or treason mean anything to you. LIeberman may have been born elsewhere but he is at home. He is a citizen of Israel and supports the survival of Israel. As others have said--if you place of birth defines your home, then all those Arab descendants born in JOrdan and Lebanon and Egypt and the US....
20. #2 - and Arafat was born in Egypt....
William ,   Israel   (07.21.11)
so, what's your point? You have none. Because in a democracy, not a tribal or racist State, people are judged for their actions, not which family they come from or where they were born. Despite being born in Nazareth, and receiving tremendous social benefits from the State of Israel like all of the other citizens, she chooses to side with enemies, to undercut the State and its 7 million citizens, to blatantly ignore her own Israeli Arab voters to expend her efforts on a belligerent, non-citizen population. Now compare that with Lieberman, who, despite being born in Israel, supports the State fully, fights for her and her citizens, and works against those who would support our enemies. Arafat was born in Egypt - outside the region like most of those Arabs claiming to be "Palestinian" natives - yet you believe they should have a State without question. You contradicted your own statement - how typical of a dumbass pro-"palestinian".
21. #17 Jarda - so the Germans should be given back the Sudeten?
Zvi   (07.21.11)
22. #2: And where was Arafat born?
Reuven Ben-Tal ,   Jerusalem   (07.21.11)
23. this is how she and her cohorts must be dealth with
ralph   (07.21.11)
ridicule, satire, truth, mockery. mock her self-righteous indication, self-picture, sadness and empathy at being left out, looking in at the arab spring from the outside. poor little rich girl with nothing to do but pout, imagine things and complain. but never amount to much.
24. No. 17, you misunderstand all the time, now too
Marco ,   Spain   (07.21.11)
25. Another racist diatribe...what a country!!
Mikesailorr ,   Miami, FL   (07.21.11)
Ms. Zoabi was born in Nazareth and her family has lived in Palestinie for centuries. Where do you come from, Mr. Daum? Did you family live in the area say..one hundred years ago. Fifty? The duty of a representative is to represent her voters, not you. What is so hard to understanf?
26. Zoobee is a disgrace. Convict her!
David ,   USA   (07.21.11)
In clear view of the whole world in the video. She stomped her heels on the foot of the Israeli usher. She should be tried & convicted for her violent behavior & removed permanently from the Knesset. She can act like a savage in Syria!
27. To Jarda
Rafi ,   Montreal, Canada   (07.21.11)
I was born n Egypt...does this make me an Egyptian with full rights and having government protection?..well Jews were not given Egyptian nationality..unlike her in Israel, at home. In addition Jews get automatic citizenship in Israel...Lieberman is a Jew...not I hope you are a little more knowledgeable and a bit smarter.
28. 17
Birdi ,   Israel   (07.21.11)
Lieberman is a Jew, therefore he is at home in Israel. Israel is the Jewish homeland for every single Jew. Understand?
29. Zoabi
Sandra ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (07.21.11)
She is indeed a traitor, and should be expelled from the Knesset. We have enough enemies, and she still holds a privileged position as an MK. Ridiculous! By the way, No.16, the word misfortuntate is in the dictionary, check it out.
30. pride
Antoine Levy ,   Helsinki, Finland   (07.21.11)
Excellent article! We are all proud of her and wish that her fighting spirit will not yield during these two weeks vacation time.
