1. MK Tibi
nigel ,   london   (05.15.12)
As the man said Empathy towards another people's suffering is a sublime human value on the way to reconciliation. The collective memory of a people who were ethnically cleansed in 1948 will not be quashed " So I assume this empathy will them be granted to the 950,000 Jews forcably evicted from the Arab peninsula as well as the countless displaced by the Nazis. These people are one eyed, denying Jewish suffering while insisting that the world acknoledges theirs. Hypocrits one and all
2. Any Israeli Arab that flies ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.15.12)
.... an ersatz "Palestinian" flag should be deported to Ramallah or Gaza. We should not tolerate such disloyalty -- if they feel happier living under that flag, they can go to the ersatz "Palestine" Authority or to Gaza. We have no use for disloyal and traitorous fifth columnists.
3. What ??!!!
Fad Egypt   (05.15.12)
thats amazing the muslim MK is admitting that there was two jewish temples before so why the muslims are always denying the jewishness of jerusalem or the existence of the jewish temples before ??!!!! they are contradicting themselves also some muslims deny the holucost as a fact , at the same time , they make comparisons between the so called israel occupation and the holucost so it means they recognize it too !!!! shalom
4. Happy Nabka ,next year in Syria,as it had been in Iraq&Kuwai
ab   (05.15.12)
,pals !
5. Calling ALL Zionist Israelis!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (05.15.12)
Time to form our version of BDS called BAB! Call for it in Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. The Zionist Spring is just starting! BOYCOTT ARAB BUSINESSES! You need a lawyer, an accountant, a plumber, an electrician or any other professional or tradesman the get a loyal Israeli one! The time has come to put the shoe on the other foot and throw the left shoe at those Israeli Arabs who take everything they can from the country, drive fancy cars but call for the destruction of Israel! If MK Dr. Tibi wants the "Right of Return" then the Arab counties in North Africa and the Middle East MUST pay compensation to the Jews they threw out! Give Tibi the Shoe just like Saddam Hussein. What goes around comes around!
6. One or two small differences.
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (05.15.12)
Unlike the destruction of the Temple,the 'nakba' was not accompanied by 1. wholesale massacre, 2. reduction to slavery for thousands of people. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
7. Nakba, shmakba. Who gives a rat's ass?
(05.15.12)
They made their own bed, now let them sleep in it.
8. #5 David. Your idea is excellent.
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.15.12)
#5. It's way past time for Israel to stop tolerating treachery and pamering terrorists and terrorist supporters. Time to make them swallow very large quantities of their own medicine,as the saying goes.
9. Happy Nabka day. Next year, for you....anywhere but Israel
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.15.12)
To the treacherous fifth columnists who take everything from Israel they can possibly grab while plotting Israel's destruction...Happy Nabka Day. Next year... anywhere but Israel. Realistically, it won't happen next year but time is running out on your treachery.
10. WHY BIBI, WHY.....
les ,   canada   (05.15.12)
as the official representative of ISRAEL AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE, WHY DO YOU PUT UP WITH THIS ATROCITY? what other country would allow sworn enemies of the state to openly call for the distruction of the country, while enjoying the kind of life their fellow arabs are only dreaming of. are we ever going to get a government who would put a stop this outrage???
11. Do the Nakba Dance
Dan ,   Florida - Tel Aviv   (05.15.12)
I am distressed at the Fox News coverage of the Palestinian "Nakba" protest. First of all the Nakba is a phony protest however notice the Palestinian child that was interviewed. He said that he had nothing to do other than throw stones and riot against the Israeli's. Standing in filth and rubble perhaps he could use his youth to clean up the West Bank and maybe plant trees there. Israel became a 1st world country in a mere 64 years while the Arabs have remained 3rd world countries even after living under the enlightenment of Islam for 1,500 years. Perhaps if the interviewed youth were actually fighting for his "country" he would not have his face covered otherwise he is simply a terrorist and fair game to be shot & killed as such. Maybe if he turned his energies toward joining and building a Palestinian government he might not have to throw stones at Israeli's for a living. I have been to the West Bank and when Israel planted trees, the Palestinians cut them down. The Palestinians dump raw sewage into a river so polluting it that all life within the river died. The Israeli's built a facility to clean up that river, winning an environmental award and restoring life downstream. The Palestinians live in a barren land filled with filth and rubble showing no incentive to improve their lives. However the truth that the Fox reporter did not point out is that while Israel has tried to improve the lives of the Palestinians they have refused all. Their only goal is not a state but rather the destruction of Israel. The surrounding Arab states haven't given the Palestinians a dime to improve the lives of the Palestinians as they know that wherever the Palestinians go, chaos is the only result. Lastly, the boy came out of the refugee camp. How the hell do the Palestinians still live refugee camps after 64 years?
12. El-Sana, there is no denial that Arabs lost the war
William ,   Israel   (05.15.12)
We all admit that freely, which you have come to refer to as "Nakba". What we deny is the false narrative you created around Nakba in order to bolster your own false narrative of victimhood, after you took part in a genocidal war against the very State you now represent, and despise. Not only were Arab actions in 1948 a major crime, but so too is lying about it in order to revise history and deny the human rights of an ethnic group.
13. Israeli-Arabs also celebrate youm ha'atzmaot..
Rami of Nazareth ,   Israel   (05.15.12)
How come this is not covered by ynet?
14. Urgent countermeasures are necessary
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (05.15.12)
to defend the very existence of Israel. But it is impossible, until the next Knesset elections, when hopefully patriot jews will strenghten against all forms of nihilists.
15. AND THE PALIS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE OUR PEACE TALK PARTNERS??
stude ham   (05.15.12)
to heck with the world's politicians... BUILD ISRAEL BUILD!
16. arabs think the villages were the garden of eden
zionist forever   (05.15.12)
The sooner the arabs get out their dream world and accept these village's were not temples or paradise on Earth and accept they were just a bunch of stone buildings the sooner they will be able to move on with their lives. I imagine even if they had stayed with the need for land in this country they would have all been forced to leave their romantic village's long ago and now there would be tower blocks or roads. I think the property owners who had the rusty keys would have been glad to modern apartments rather than staying in small stone houses with no running water or electricity. Time for these idiots to accept the only way they will get a state is if they stop waving the rusty keys and demanding a right of return. Every offer made to them has fallen through because of an obsession with the return to some now mostly destroyed village's.
17. 5th COLUMN
Moshe ,   Usa   (05.15.12)
18. They are nor Israeli
David Fakheri ,   Los Angles - U . S   (05.15.12)
Arab - Israelis? If they are Israelis then we have the " Independence Day " to celebrate and if they don't respect that day , one shouldn't be an Harvard graduate to understand specially in Israel keep Millions of those " enemies Within " around us. Their place is not here , they should be between their Brothers and Sisters in the Arab-muslim world and Mark the Nakba-day there. They are not Israelis.
19. #3 Hi Fad! You're so true :-))
Yossef   (05.15.12)
20. 'Nakba a crime?
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (05.15.12)
Surely the crime was the illegal invasion of the Palestine Mandate territory by the Arab League that precipitated this mess. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
21. SEDITION SEDITION SEDITION
ZEV BERNICK ,   TORONTO   (05.15.12)
ALL, who participate, in this treasonous/seditious act of State denial, MUST BE IMMEDIATELY DEPORTED.. ALSO to be deported.. are all those who refuse to swear an oath to the Jewish-State-of-ISRAEL.. ISRAEL.. LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT..!!
22. #4 - May you go to Syria next year
Hinda ,   SF Bay Area   (05.15.12)
#4 - The Arab Seasons have shown the world exactly what you think of life. You hate life and want to live like it is the year 657. Thats fine with most of us - so please as I state: "If the MK's that support this lie hate their job and their salary so much - please Israel - deport them to Trans-Jordan so they can work for the Hashemites - the illegal occupyer of Trans Jordan. Simple isn't it."
23. THANK YOU!
David ,   New York, NY   (05.15.12)
A big "thank you" to all the demonstrators for showing all but the most blinded Israelis exactly where the Arabs within their midst stand. And it's good to see the Israeli goverment working on some means to lessen the threat they pose by providing an inducement for them to "vacate the premises." Oh, they're not doing anything to at all to remedy this situation? I'm sorry, my bad! That's not possible, is it? I guess it is.
24. We shall return
Darshi ,   Arab   (05.15.12)
sooner or later we shall return to our holy land...by hezbollah power
25. #24 What Holy Land?
Dan ,   Florida - Tel Aviv   (05.15.12)
The Muslims pray to Mecca as MECCA is your holy land. The Gold Dome is built upon a myth a Muhammad flew to Paradise on his horse from Jerusalem. Face it, Muhammad was never in Jerusalem thus if you believe that Jerusalem is holy for you then I understand why after 1500 years Islam has not progressed.
26. #24 Please return to your holy land NOW - in Saudi Arabia.
Harry Wright ,   UK   (05.15.12)
27. #2
RHarris ,   London   (05.15.12)
Mrs Stalin speaks again.
28. we jews say "next year in Jlm" so I wish all our arabs
(05.15.12)
Next year in MECCA!
29. We shall return
Darshi ,   Arab   (05.15.12)
We shall return by force as you get the palestine land by force and killing. You will see by your eyes how your entity will disappear...
30. Can someone please explain to me
A ,   Belgium   (05.15.12)
why traitors like Tibi, who hold a chair in the Israeli government and recieve all the perks that go along with the job, is STILL sitting in the Israeli government? He contributes nothing to the benefit of the State of Israel that he represents...so he says...and even mourns the recognition of that state? Supports terrorists? Why does the government of the Jewish state even allow such garbage to enter the Knesset building? Bedouins, Druze, Christians who serve their country and are proud to be Israeli should rightfully hold these positions, and preferably, not in the opposition.Tibi, Zoobi, the rest of the traitors...go be parlimentarians in gaza, enjoy the democracy there with your own people.
