1. So what was his punnishment?
rebecca ,   Modiin   (03.05.12)
Only a statement by the ethics committee?
2. Can this terrorist supporter not be removed from office?
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (03.05.12)
3. Knesset Member Tibi
avi yacobi ,   Englewood, NJ   (03.05.12)
Tibi endorses terror, but tells the Knesset that it was taken out of contest. Do you recall that his mentor was a master of double talk?-- endorsing terror in Arabic and talking peace in English. In the name of democracy, Tibi and others pursue double talk. Tibi's constituents must realize that he is actually against Israel and that he does not promote peace and does not represent them as Israelis. Israel must establish the requisites for any candidate who runs for the next session. It is inconceivable that candidates who work with enemies of the country are accepted to run in an election. Is this practiced anywhere in the world, except in Israel? Peace will come when our enemies accept Judaism as a religion and that the Israelis have the right to exist as free people.

defending us from palistinian terror.

6. what are the chances?
ded ,   usa   (03.05.12)
that this relegating traitor will be stripped of his immunity, charges with treason and jailed for the rest of his misreable life? zero, zilch, noway. only in israel, ladies and gentelmen.
7. Tibi, you're a jerk
Yossef   (03.05.12)
8. Blessed are the shahids......
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (03.05.12)
They will go to Hell. Directly to Hell. They will not pass GO and collect 72 Virgins.
9. Expecting something else from a palestinian?
Yossi   (03.05.12)
The smile of a ' cretin ' if I ever saw one.
10. After so much abuse
Paul ,   Jerusalem, Holy Land   (03.05.12)
by the so-called believers and the rest of the degenerate world, an unabashed hater and enemy of Jews goes about his business with honor and prestige.
11. Israel's suicidal tolerance of treason in its midst
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (03.05.12)
Israel bends over backwards to tolerate even the most radical behavior, just to show how open, free and "democratic" it is. But there's a point where one is so open-minded one's brain falls out, so liberal and accepting of one's enemies it verges on the suicidal. Israel needs to remind itself that *no* nation has an obligation to tolerate sedition, or grant immunity to treasonous behavior just because one holds political office. What part of "giving aid and comfort to the enemy" do Israel's leaders not understand? Tibi shouldn't be in the Knesset, but rather in jail. Same goes for Zoabi.
12. He talks the talk ...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.05.12)
... but is he willing to walk the walk? Highly doubtful. He's far too much in love with himself. But he should choose to teach by example, right? Otherwise, his words are nothing but meaningless drivel. I guess we already knew that!
13. A Knesset member that glorifies those who mass murder Jews
Adam Smith   (03.05.12)
has no place in the house of representatives of the Israeli public. The man disgusts me!!
14. money
jay abouaf ,   yafo isarael   (03.05.12)
In my opinion speech should always be free; but not money. Stop, immediately, any money he is receiving from the State of Israel. Possibly try him for treason; he chose to work for the people of Israel; and his words endanger the lives of both jews and arabs and he attempts to sow discord. Maybe we can give him a strong referral for a government job in Syria or Egypt, Iraq or Iran, or Jordan, Chad, Sudan, Tunisia....Libya It pains me to address the faults of others; however, I consider [it] an obligation to unveil the abuse of humans' rights. And tragically, this is the reality of the Arab Muslim world.
15. It is unbelievable that this man is kept in the Knesset!
Keren ,   IL-BR   (03.05.12)
He should go to be a shahid in Gaza ,in Siria,wherever he wants but should get out of Israel. Ocuppier is his a**! Look at the ME and the size of Israel!This land was already partitioned and it was alrealry robbed by Jordans,robbed by these arabs who do not allow Jews in their midst but live in our midst ,inclusively in the Knesset! Come on!Give already a kick in his rear and send him to where he really belongs!
16. Shahid
Zivron   (03.06.12)
The Jews are the true martyrs from the pharaoh decree to the crusades through the pogroms the hebron massacre of unarmed Torah and Talmud students and torture of women and children the neonazi grand mufti meeting the hater of the ten commandments and the prophets Islamic shahid sacrifice humans and kill civilians women and children.
17. A "Harsh Reprimand"...??!!
Eli F. ,   Somewhere, Thailand   (03.06.12)
Wow, what next, a slap on the wrist!!?? Only in Israel, would we let terrorist sympathizers, who advocate violence and that undermine and attack the very right of Israel to exist, to become Members of the Knesset!! Thats why we are doomed, if we continue with these suicidal policies!! We outlawed the Kach party and we tolerate this!!??
18. SEDITION SEDITION SEDITION
WILLIAM ZEV BERNICK ,   TORONTO CANADA   (03.06.12)
there must be a law, against SEDITION. if one 'Googles'.. 'SEDITION WIKIPEDIA',, the definition, aptly fits, the reckless anti ISRAEL 'SHTICK',carried on by ALL those, whose allegiance, lies else-where.. 'ISREAL-- LOVE-IT-OR LEAVE-IT.'...
19. Tibi should be in prison. end
Spencer ,   Israel   (03.06.12)
