1. This is wrong. All m.k.s should have served
jason white ,   afula, israel   (12.20.11)
in the I.D.F. How many Jewish m.k.s work for the interests of foreign governments? How many politicians receive money from foreign governments and groups? This has to stop now.
2. waht does benisch have to say about barakeh
alexi   (12.20.11)
Barakeh and tibi take freedom of speech to far and committ deeds against israeli sovereignty. They should be santionned in some way.What is israel anyways? is it home of the jews or does it test eu and un waters before doing anything> The jew is conflicted, semi submissive, questionning and doesn't act like landlord of his own house. if he doesn't wake up, then he doesn't deserve a state and would like avinery, oz and sternhall be prepared to live like dzimmis in the state of palestine. This is maddenning. Do somethiing about barakeh!!
3. One who represents an enemy cannot be an MK
Eliezer ,   Jerusalem - Israel   (12.20.11)
It is as if a UK Member of Parliament in the 1930's also acted abroad as a member of the ruling party of Germany. We are wasting our time with this man who should be behind bars for ever. THe law should be changed to stop such people running for the Knesset just as it did, undemocratically, to the Kahane party.
4. What is the penalty for a traitor?
Ellen ,   Israel/USA   (12.20.11)
5. Imagine this cheating lowlife having access to security info
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (12.21.11)
6. His response?
William ,   Israel   (12.21.11)
Typical Arab victimhood. Ignore the blatant illegal actions and claim there is a witch hunt. Regardless of Lieberman, who as FM MUST address this violation of an MK overseas, Barakeh broke the law!
7. At the end of the day, ALL Arab MKs represent "Palestinians"
William ,   Israel   (12.21.11)
whether its abroad to solicit actions AGAINST their own country in intl forums or its back home in Knesset meetings. These MKs consider themselves "Palestinian" deep down and only Israeli when they receive the paycheck and benefits. If I represented another company while on a trip for my current company, I'd be fired on the spot. Is the liberal "democracy" blocking us from taking such legitimate action?
8. One cannot serve two masters
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.21.11)
An Israeli MK cannot represent both the State of Israel and the ersatz "Palestine" Authority. If Barakeh is that intent on speaking for the ersatz "Palestine" Authority, the State of Israel should strip him of his credentials in Israel, take his citizenship and send him to Ramallah, where he can represent the ersatz "Palestine" Authority to his heart's content. Bye-bye Israeli pension, too. We've had quite enough of these traitors. Make an example of Barakeh, and perhaps the rest will learn a very valuable lesson.
9. When will we learn....
Yoram Bar-Niv ,   TA Israel   (12.21.11)
We are paying an Israeli Arab MK to represent The PA....When will we learn..........
10. Israeli taxpayers funded this trip
zionist forever   (12.21.11)
He was supposed to be going on an official trip representing Israel and so his trip would have been paid for by taxpayers. Since when did taxpayers fund trips for PA representatives, as we are all so big on social justice these days make him repay the taxpayers from his own pocket. Long term we need legislation introducing a three strikes and your out policy. It should be illegal to go anywhere or do anything to officially represent the PA or anybody else without prior approval of the Knesset and an explanation why they need to represent somebody else. STRIKE 1 - a fine and a Knesset suspension. STRIKE 2 - a bigger fine and longer suspension. STRIKE 3 - your suspended from the Knesset until the next election. If you do win a seat in the next election after you have had your three strikes and you break the rules again then expulsion from the Knesset and not allowed to run again for a certain number of years. We can't do any of this to Barakeh right now but we can certainly demand he replays the money he spent on the trip and tell him if he feels his job is to represent the PA then he can't be an MK, he can move to Hamastan and represent them from there.
