1. I guess this means that when Zoabi...
M. Davison ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (12.20.12)
Claimed that disqualifying her was "disqualifying a whole generation of Arab voters" was more to hear herself speak than it was founded in reality. That's what happens, though-- you lie to your constitutents often enough and pursue your own agenda while ignoring theirs, even the dimmest bulbs on the tree will figure out that you're not worth their vote, so they'll either vote for someone else or not vote at all. Either way, you lose.
2. Zoabi set the clock ticking on herself.
Harry Wright ,   UK   (12.20.12)
By her actions and words, she has disqualified herself from the Knesset. She should be in jail for treason at this very moment. In a very public way and as a public representative of the people of Israel, she acted against her country by her participation in the flotilla and her presence on the Mavi Marmara. In so doing, she gave aid and comfort to Israel’s enemies. She acted against the state of Israel in the LAWFUL execution of its duties. The blockade is LEGAL whether she likes it or not. Israel’s intervention and search for weapons aboard the Marmara in international waters were LEGAL whether she likes it or not. Zoabi is so unbalanced and filled with hate for Israel, she cannot distinguish between behaviour as a public representative and as a private citizen. When she was sworn in as a member of the Knesset, she should have known that there are duties, responsibilities and limitations that come with the territory that are not required of ordinary citizens. She conducts her public life like an ordinary citizen activist. That will not do!!! She has failed both herself and those who voted for her. She works for terrorists and not the citizens of Israel. She should be KICKED out and the door slammed on her.
