Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.23.12)
Oh, if only. We could then get rid of Ms. Livni as well. By the way -- Zoabi couldn't be a member of parliament in an Arab country. Women are not allowed to serve in government, unless at luncheons. Then, they let them pour the coffee.
62. We all know who the racist is, and it isn't Ben White

63. WHAT?!
Maya ,   Chicago, Il   (01.23.12)
Why isn't she deported to live with her Arab brethren in the West Bank?
64. To: No. 58
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.23.12)
You fail to understand. No sane person bothers with Ha'Aretz.

people forgot.One mans democracy is another mans evil.....You have the freedom of the press,the freedom of speech, that is democracy.
66. She's begging for that jail cell
Aharon   (01.23.12)
67. Why Zoabi is still there
Maurice ,   Montreal   (01.23.12)
A traitor like Zoabi should have been removed from the Knesset a long time ago. To me it looks like the Israeli government is apprehensive of Arab uprising in israel if they removed her.
68. since when Op-ed became news?
Joy ,   NJ   (01.23.12)
so much for tabloid journalism.
69. More than her co-workers, she expresses what she believes
Yossi   (01.23.12)
Our Knesset members relish in having in it's midst such a vocal sluth. -- a mark of dignity. She works harder than her male co-workers.She fears nobody, because there is no one to fear in the land of the free. --- Israel. ALL the Sarah B from the US, the rebeccas from Modiin, the israeli from Israel and the others can do, is wring their hands in despair and vent their frustrations on Ynet. -- Like the US administration on the arabs.
70. It is a pamphlet, not a book
ALondoner ,   London UK   (01.23.12)
Ben White is a marginalised figure. His 'books' are thin pamphlets which are scarcely stocked. He has resorted to 24/7 Tweeting. In other words - he has lost already.
71. To nr 31 - the Swedish anti-Semite
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (01.23.12)
If Swedes can criticize Israel, can Israel and Jews criticize you and the Swedish people or do the "enligthened" Swedes stand above criticism? Why is it that no "Palestine" or "Palestinians" are mentioned in the Bible or the Koran? Why is nationalism alien to Arabs? Why is "Palestine" a ROMAN/LATIN name? Why is there no letter "p" in Arabic? Why is Jerusalem mentioned more than 700 times in the Bible but exactly zero times in the Koran? Why does both the Bible and Koran explicitly say that Israel is the Jewish homeland? Where do you think Christianity and Islam come from? No "Palestinian" state or people have ever existed in recorded human history. We Jews have lived in Israel for 4000 years non stop - even during our diaspora, when most Jews were exiled, a small Jewish minority still remained in Israel. Tell me Olle, does the world consist of facts or just subjective opinions? Do you care about truth or do you care more about ideology? If you admit there are facts, why do you ignore them? Because they reveal that Jews are speaking the truth and Arabs are not? If there are no facts, then how can your statement and point of view be right? If there is no right and wrong, who says that you are right? Ancient Israel and the ancient Jewish people are mentioned by the ancient Hebrews/Israelites/Jews/Judeans themselves, but also by Canaanites, Edomites, Aramites, Philisteenes, Phoenicians, Egyptians, Hittites, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantinians and Arabs, but NONE of them mentions any "Palestinian" Arab/non Arab state or people. Why?
72. Arab specialities besides hating Jews..
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (01.23.12)
..., demonizing Jews, killing and terrorizing Jews, is to accuse the Jews of the very crimes that Jews have been victims of - in Arab hands. For example: Zoabi accuses Jews of ethnic cleansing on Arabs. The Arab population of the entire land of Israel has increased by 1000% the last 60 years or so. Hardly any genocide. About 1 million Jews were ethnically cleansed/expelled by the Arab states in the 1940s and the 1950s. More than 1 million Arabs live today inside Israel and hardly any Jews are left in the "Arab" states - "Arab" states without history, purpose, meaning or authenticity. When Jordanians and Egyptians conquered Judea, Samaria and Gaza in 1949 -ALL Israelis/Jews were ethnically cleansed. When Israelis/Jews WON the Six Day War in 1967, and RECONQUERED/RECLAIMED ANCIENT ISRAELITE/JEWISH LAND - Judea, Samaria and Gaza, the Arabs of Judea, Samaria and Gaza were still allowed to stay. Jews have lived in Israel for 4000 years. The total amount of time in which ethnic Arabs have demographically and ethnically dominated the land of Israel took place in the 7th century C.E. and this Arab domination lasted for about 20-25 years - less than 30 years of time. During the "Arab" empire of the past, most "Arabs" of Israel and the broader Middle East WERE NOT ARAB, merely ARAB SPEAKING Moslems, of primarily Kurdish, Turkish, Persian, North African and African origins. Not only have Arabs no right to Israel today - Arabs NEVER had any right to Israel and never had Arabs any history in Israel. And "Arabs" were not truly "Arab" centuries ago and not today either - they were and are Arabized Moslems of dozens ethnic groups. If there is nothing "Arab" about the "Arabs", how can any land be considered to be "Arab" land let alone "Palestinian" "Arab" land?
73. The whole world is laughing at Israel for putting up with
US CITIZEN ,   DC   (01.23.12)
these Arabs in our government. WHERE ARE THE LAWS TO STOP THIS TREASON AND GET THEM OUT OF THE KNESSET??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
74. RE: 31, olle vejde
JC ,   EU   (01.23.12)
It seems to me on the whole that wording "Sweden's ongoing crimes against the Sami" is an apt description of the major part on the national conflict inside sweden against the oppressed and downtrodden Samis in the North, which dreadful situation even the saintly UN (that's right! United Nations) condemned Sweden. Talk about chutzpah and insolence. you are a victim of your institutionally biased one-sided anti-Israel (at minimum, but also often sadly antisemitic) media in Sweden.
75. Fire all the traitorous MK's
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (01.23.12)
Put them in jail, Zoabi can keep the men entertained with her very special and unique talents availabe only from her
76. WHY WAS KAHANE OUSTED?!!???
Israeli 2   (01.23.12)
77. She is not brave
Oleg ,   USA   (01.23.12)
She just enjoys democratic values, that is all. At the same time Israel need people like her to understand who support them, who actually holds a knife in their hands, who is ready to stab Israel's back. the best way to deal with those people is to destry their credentials by --- laugh! Laugh about your enemy, making him looks rediculous, destroy everything he/she trying to achieve..
78. Using Israeli democracy to destroy Israel.
Nora Tel Aviv   (01.23.12)
(End).
79. Of course she's not afraid. Israel let's her do what she wan
Sami ,   New York, USA   (01.23.12)
Of course she's not afraid. Israel let's her do what she wants.
80. zoabi
liz ,   rehovot   (01.23.12)
Israel has only itself to blame, this woman is an MK, unbelievable, fantasy land, get these disloyal arabs out of the Knesset
81. MK Zoabi
joel ,   usa   (01.23.12)
many don't believe that MK Zoabi is by heart an Israeli citizen, she is a traitor to the Constitution of the land. she had committed treason, she should be removed from as MK and put on trial, ok?
82. #36 totally not a language mistake
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (01.23.12)
It wouldn't surprise me at all of the Arab MK writes for "The Forward"
83. Sarah #61
Vlad   (01.23.12)
Some Arab parliaments haveone or a few token female members. Hell, the Iranian Parliament has a token Jew.
84. US Jewish talkbackers unfamiliar with free speech
fred   (01.23.12)
Unlike Israel, there is no longer free speech and genuine democracy in America. Anyone who spoke like Zoabi would lose their job and reputation thanks to fanatical anti-democratic un-American Jewish organizations. No wonder American Jews are gob-smacked to hear a politician speaking her mind frankly rather than spouting the bi-partisan party line on all things Jewish and Israeli. The USA is a corrupted plutocratic sh*thole with a managed media and bought-off puppet politicians. The founding fathers must be turning in their graves. One day the American people will explode !
85. Nothing This Woman Said Is False
World Citizen ,   the world   (01.23.12)
Go read your own historians. Read Illian Pappe's "The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine". The book is based previously secret documents released by your own government. Read about your military's Plan D during the 1948 War. Now I know Ynetnews is the voice of the Israeli rightwing so my post will not be posted but at least the censors will know why the people of the world are turning against Israel. The truth is coming out whether you like it or not. How Israelis deal with the truth is another matter. Their past behaviour doesn't give one much to hope for.
86. Zoabi
Mark ,   USA   (01.23.12)
I agree, that Israel is to blame for this, in that Israeli law should be clear that any elected official who supports the enemy should lose their seat and immunity. This far left democracy is nothing but craziness.
87. World Citizen
Worl citizen, too!   (01.23.12)
"Illian" Pappe is a bitter deranged man and more than that. He wishes, in fact craves the destruction of Israel and was revealed as a liar, bsically. He admitted as much that ideology drives him and "we are not truth seekers here" to Belgian daily Le soir in an interview. Moreover Israeli sources raked him over the coal for his one-sided polemcy and biases, one-sidedness and history falsifications. Ciao!
88. #85 World- Still at it I see
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (01.23.12)
Selectively editing the contents of the book for your own devious purposes "THE ETHNIC CLEANSING OF PALESTINE ILAN PAPPE ... -John Pilger 'Han Pappe has written an extraordinary book that is of profound relevance ... justice for these two peoples needs to read and reflect upon this brave, honest, .... The Zionist policy was first based on retaliation against Palestinian attacks ..." Pay particular attention to the last line, 'RETALIATION AGAINST PALESTINIAN ATTACKS" It's quite evident that the Arabs were the first to attempt to expel the Jews, Zionists "RETALIATED" You should be the very last to speak of truth, you're incapable of it Your posts are as fictional as your alias, both being frauds
89. #84 Fred it's not just free expression
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (01.23.12)
Zoabi has acted as a traitor, consorting with the enemy, plus she has been advocating Sedition I don't think any country would tolerate such actions
90. To: Vlad at No. 83
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.24.12)
Perhaps we should take page out of that book. Token Arab representation in the Knesset. Who needs traitors the likes of Zioabi and Tibi?: I, for one, would purely LOVE to see the degree of "influence" that Zoabi can bring to bear in Hamas. Let's send her to Gaza and find out, what do you think? Should be interesting, to say the least.
