1. A Traitor in the Eyes of the Invaders
Nour ,   Palestine   (12.25.11)
A Hero before her people, a beacon of pride and nationalism!
2. The legal system needs serious OVERHAUL, lets hope the
Happy Hanukah ,   Israel   (12.25.11)
legislation begins to come in like rushing waters whereby our enemies from within and without are weakened, not strengthened. The demographics are on our side, baruch Hashem.
3. Zoabi - include in prisoner exchange
Raanana ,   Raanana   (12.25.11)
Zoabi and the likes should be punished, striped of Israeli citizenship and included in a future prisoner exchange. This traitor should not be left gloating in Israel. Weinstein's ruling must be reversed. . This situation AGIAING points out why judges and even the Attorney General must be chosen/approved thorougly y by a Knesset committee.
4. A traitor in the eyes of the Invaders....
Shoshieb ,   Migdal Israel   (12.25.11)
If she is a hero in the eyes of "her" people - why is she sitting in the invaders parliament and taking money & a salary (a very big one) - shouldn't she be on the outside looking in?? She is a traitor and should be punished as such...
5. Smadar Shir
Ali Clark ,   Scotland   (12.25.11)
The first line states the obvious secondly what did she destroy or devastate considering she wasn't even in Israel.The lady was hijacked in international waters.Why, because her fellow people are struggling against Israeli oppression.Bare in mind religion is faith not truth.We have faith to believe its truth but that does mean it is true because we believe.
6. Not just Zoabi!
JAyjay ,   Israel   (12.25.11)
What about Tibi and the rest of the traitors that are in the Knesset?? All they do is incite hatred against the government they are supposed to represent! They would all love to see Israel destroyed! Where the oath of allegiance that all politicians should undertake??? In any other country this would be considered treason! But in Israel, the disgusting left only encourages this treasonous behavior!!
7. #2 if her people are Palestinians she can live in Ramala
rebecca ,   Modiin   (12.25.11)
not in Israel.
8. insane
Rod ,   Fargo N.Dakota   (12.25.11)
I can't imagine a group entering an enemy entity during a U.S warning not to enter the zone set by Navy then attacking the sailors or U.S.Marines [i doubt the U.S would use S.E.A.L..s with paintball guns] and a U.S. Congressman on the ship joining with the ship that put up opposition.Just returning to Congress without any ramifications.
9. Double Crosser
Samuel ,   Israel   (12.25.11)
Yes ! thats what she is.How can she behave in that fashion ?She earns her daily bread here in Israel.She is given the right to be a member of the Knesset,she received her education,she is allowed to dress,drive her car.would she be allowed to do the same in any Arab country ???There is a saying in Hebrew:" To eat your meals in a dish & sh-t in it too. Thats what she is doing.
10. LOCK HER UP !!! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (12.25.11)
11. Question how are the Supreme CT Justices pick in Israel
Rod ,   Fargo N.Dakota   (12.25.11)
Someone told me the Supreme court Judges pick their own succesors.If this is true it's not Democratic and all Judges in Israel will continue to be extreme Leftists.The Knesset should have a say and should be voted on.
12. democracy!?
oded   (12.25.11)
shemocracy, in every 'normal" democracy ,not the twisted kind palyed on stage here in israel, zoabi and her cronies would be stripped of her mkship, arrested and prosecuted to the fullest for treason. palin and simple. not too late ,though.
13. The bigger traitor is weinstein and the
jason white ,   afula, israel   (12.25.11)
Israeli laws and courts. bibi picks the worst people for his government, weinstein and ehud buraq are the two best examples of the worst. But we are to blame. We need a couple of hundred thousand people to march on the knesset and to demand that all judges, weinstein and buraq be fired. That the Israeli court system cannot interfere with security matters,either by Israelis or foreigners. Or we should demand bibi resign and new elections without bibi running.
14. #5 Read the point made by #4 and #7
Softwalker ,   Canada   (12.25.11)
Here, let me quote them for you: If she's a hero in the eyes of "her" people, why is she sitting in the invaders' parliament and taking money & a salary (a very big one)? In your shoes, I'd go see a doctor about that soft head of yours.
15. I would add to this
Paul ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (12.25.11)
that everything we do out of courage and lack of foresight strengthens our enemies. Of course, adding Oslo, Gaza and lack of settlement gives justification to the 'invented' people.
16. A haredi arrested for spitting on woman.Zoabi incites Arabs
to kill Jews.Nothing   (12.25.11)
Arab racism agaisnt Jews is encouraged in Israel just like in all thoes Apartheid Arab and Islamic countries.
17. She is not a traitor
Ephraim ,   Tapuah   (12.25.11)
She was never loyal to us to begin with, so she betrayed noone.
18. Seeing from afar
Tom ,   USA   (12.25.11)
This is the first generation Israelis whom still have genetic, psychological connection to the humiliating life in galut. The assertive stand of nationalism has not developed yet, it will take several generations. Remember the long wandering in the desert... There is a perceptible, palpable fear that imbues the Israeli society: the fear of provoking anger in the enemy. Latent fear from the N.Y. Times, from Obamao, the NGO-s, the Leftists, the Europeans and so on. The spirit of appeasement and defeatism characterize the official attitude - with due respect to the Lieberman's fraction. The Zoabi episode nicely fits into this observation.
19. The woman is a self righteous lying waste of space
Zionist forever   (12.25.11)
Who cares about this self righteous traitor it's not worth turning her to a martyr for the sake of giving her a slap on the wrist. Ignore her and she goes fom arab hero to arab zero who nobody listens to anymore. The woman is also a lying hypocrite who like other arabs is more concerned with getting Israel into trouble than lives. Her story was she was first on the scene to evacuate the wounded but she was caug on camera arguing with a medic telling him the injured passengers wanted to stay on he ship nt be evacuated and she was ordering him to leave them on the ship as she was an MK. The humanitrian it seems was more interested in creating martyrs because the more dead the more trouble Israel will be in especially if he can argue the medics even refused to evacuate the injured. Once a treacherous Arab always a treacherous Arab. What we need now is new legislation which gives the government real powers to deal with these MKs who try to abuse their Knesset immunity so next time Zouabi or some other traitor wants to pull a stunt like this in future they can be seriously punished and not wasting our time with Zoubi.
20. she is not from you, but from them
observer ,   Egypt   (12.25.11)
Prophet Isaiah was probably referring to those using illegality means to justify the goal. Your attorney general, although rightist, couldn't find a single incriminating charge against Zoabi.
21. End leftist control of judiciary completely and permanentlty
Chaim ,   Israel   (12.25.11)
The ludicrous situation whereby traitors go unpunished while patriots are legally persecuted is a direct result of leftist control of the judiciary. Rather than administering justice, the judiciary has been perverted into a tool of the far left. The solution is simple. We must end leftist control of the judiciary completely and permanently.
22. So, Nour, if Zoabi's people are not Israelis.
Vlad   (12.26.11)
Shouldn't she and all Arabs who think alike be deported to live among "their people"? Why do you people oppose Lieberman so much when he doesn't even want anyone moved, only the borders? Can it be that you Arabs are so pride-obsessed that you cannot bear the humiliation of having lost a few thousand square miles to a people you oppressed for centuries?
23. To ZOABI haters....Most of the POSTS...
ali ,   Villanova- USA   (12.26.11)
You are NOTHING but Cowards that are like a bunch of WILD DOGS and going at it... The Justice system did WIN and Extremists LOST All of you Zoabi haters...Keep it up..THANK YOU..You are showing the NASTY and UGLY side of MINORITY Extremist Jews who can't live anywhere... and are making it difficult for the majority of Decent Israelis who want Peace..

26. Legal system is bankrupt !
who cares   (12.26.11)
Israels legal system is in serious problems : Traitors in wartime get a seat in the parliament and can almost do whatever they want- on the other hand, the settlers are demonized / bashed continually ! A legal system which allows this is either bankrupt or being kidnapped, which is probably the case here ( by Israels left )
27. Democracy won, the lynch mob lost
Yitzhak ,   Israel   (12.26.11)
I despise greatly Zoabi's action and am opposed wholeheartedly to her agenda. But, we live in a democratic state and her action -- though reprehensible -- is not illegal. All these voices in the Talkback section calling for curtailing our democratic rights are the real threats to Israel. I suggest you go read our Declaration of Independence and see what it says about freedom of expression and minority rights.
28. # 17
Shoshieb ,   Migdal Israel   (12.26.11)
She took an oath when she joined the Knesset - what did she do, have her fingers crossed behind her back?? She is accepting a salary from a government post, she is a traitor and should be thrown out of the Knesset.
29. The 'violent action' test
Shalom Freedman ,   Jerusalem Israel   (12.26.11)
I do not know the full facts of the case. Has Zoabi ever advocated violent action against Israel? If so , she should be in jail. Anything less than this is difficult to outlaw in a democracy.
30. HANIN ZOABI AND ''ISRAEL''.
SJOERD RUURD VAN DER ,   MULTIVERSE   (12.26.11)
I WANT TO WISH MRS./MISS H. ZOABI AND HER PARTY SUCCESS.
