31. Tibe; More psychotic rantings from Arabs.
Daisy ,   USA   (09.11.06)
Tibi supports Arab terrorism than gets angry when there are consequences to his behavior. Arabs need mental help.
32. Eitam: True Israeli Patriot deserves Medal of Honor
Roni ,   Beer Sheva   (09.11.06)
Deserves the Israeli Medal of Honor. We need to create one if we do not already have such a decoration.

Adam ,   Manchester   (09.11.06)
I am not saying or would ever say that Jewish Israelis are Nazis, I am not saying that Jews were a threat to Nazi Germany as a fifth column but I am saying that Israel is an example of Democracy in the world and celebrates this fact. But a democracy, whichever it is in the modern world, does not single out a group as a whole for explulsion or marginalising from the every day life of said Democracy. For those non Jews (Arab terrorists) and Jews (Yigal Amir, Baruch Goldstein etc) who want to perpatrate acts against the civilian or military persons of the democratic Jewish State should be locked up. (I would not disagree with going further than this for terrorists/traitors etc) Its nice for you Sean to live in a democracy, you have the right to appreciate all of its advantages, as SHOULD every other law abiding Israeli citizen! If they conspire to commit acts of terrorism etc they should be stripped of citizenship and see how they like being locked up and then deported to an Arab neighbour...none of whom have a true democracy and see how they like them apples.... Bloated Head.

35. ARAB MK Bishara Called SEVERAL Times for INTIFADA
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (09.11.06)
against Israel's Jews. The world's only Jewish state is incredibly tiny. Find it on the map with a magnifier. Patriotic Jews, including children, are brutally beaten and jailed. Jewish taxpayers who pay Arab MK Bishara's salary are FORCED to FINANCE TREASON! Arab Israeli MKs who are openly genocidal to Jews and support the violent overthrow of Israel are members of Israel's government! No other nation on earth allows such treason. Will Jews revolt against their forced financing of treason and Arab MK hate incitement to a second holocaust of Jews? From article on the violent Arab Muslim Israeli riots in 2000 'Let's investigate everything' by Yaron London, 10/2/05 http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3150205,00.html The report offers a history of Arab demonstrations and protests that over time have become evermore extreme. The report also mentions several individuals that contributed, through words and through silence, to the progression from legitimate protest into a violent, destructive riot. Leaders of the Islamic Movement, wrote the Or Commission, fanned the flames by accusing Israel of planning to destroy the Islamic holy sites on the Temple Mount, and openly sympathizing with Hizbullah and al-Qaeda. MK Azmi Bishara (National Democratic Assembly) has said the Shiite militia should be a role model for the struggle with Israel, and has called several times for an intifada against Israel. Arab-Israeli leaders should be investigated The Or Commission- including one Arab justice and another member considered an important expert in Arab culture - rejected Bishara's evasive comments, and had this to say about the part Israeli Arab leaders played in the October, 2000 riots: Individuals such as the leaders of the Supreme Israeli Arab Monitoring Committee, the Islamic Movement, and Knesset Members Tibi, Bishara, Dehamshe and Zahalka were full partners to the outbreak of riots in October, 2000, and therefore also bear responsibility for the deaths of 13 of their brethren." The following is part of an article from jerusalempost.com, Sept. 25 2005 'Column One: Israel's disengaged establishment' by Caroline Glick: "...recall what happened five years ago. Following months of increased violence and extremism in the Arab-Israeli sector incited directly by the Palestinian Authority, the Israeli Islamic Movement and the Arab members of Knesset, violent riots seized the Arab sector of Israel in October 2000. During the week of riots, Arab Israelis threw rocks and Molotov cocktails at Israeli civilian cars throughout the country. Israeli motorists were dragged out of their cars on Highway 65 along Wadi Ara and beaten. An Israeli motorist was murdered when Arabs from Jasser a-Zarka threw a rock at his windshield as he drove down the coastal highway..."
36. Leftwing hypocrisy and insanity
Matthias Roth ,   Switzerland   (09.11.06)
Well, for Peace Now and other lunatic leftists someone who demands the expulsion of Arabs is a racist, some one who demands the expulsion of Jews and the destruction of Jewish communities is a 'good guy'. This really is insane!

39. ARAB MK: 'I ADVISED PA to KIDNAP SOLDIER'
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (09.11.06)
Treason and maliciously endangering IDF soldiers' lives by Arab MKs is allowed in Israel whilst patriotic Jews are punished and jailed and regarded as ENEMIES OF THE STATE. It is urgent that demonstrations are held outside the Knesset and outside Israeli consulates world-wide to protest that Arab MKs are allowed to commit treason - collude with the enemy - repeatedly call for intifada against Israel - and encourage global jihadist religious supremacists to kidnap IDF soldiers. And to protest the persecution and politically-motivated, unjust jailing of Jewish patriots. israelnationalnews.com Arab MK: 'I Advised PA to Kidnap Soldier' Jul 09, '06 / 13 Tammuz 5766 by Hillel Fendel Knesset Member Wasal Taha, corresponding publicly with internet surfers on the Arabic-language IslamOnline site, said he repeatedly advised PA terrorists to battle and kidnap Israeli soldiers. According to a report in Maariv newspaper on Sunday, Taha told surfers on Thursday that he repeatedly advised the PA Arabs to stop shooting and targeting civilians, and to concentrate on IDF targets... http://www.israelnn.com/news.php3?id=106857

Keren ,   Sao Paulo   (09.11.06)
99% of the arabs-roughly speaking-BELIEVE ISRAEL HAS NO RIGHT TO EXIST! Why do you mention only naturei carta and choose not to see arab's reality in Israel? Would you be happy living in UK and being hated and threatened by your neighbors all the time? Arabs living in Israel,must LOVE Israel,the same way you love the country you live in and me about the one I live in. Many years ago,here in Brasil ,there was a government propaganda to all its citizens and it said: "Brasil,ame-o ou deixe-o"= "Brasil,love it or leave it". This is the way,love Israel or leave Israel. There is no point in keeping a daily war attrition among people. Life is to be lived in peace;if not external peace,at least internal one must be achieved.
44. #27, WHAT WORLD DO YOU LIVE IN?
DAVID P ,   SANTA CRUZ, USA   (09.11.06)
ARABS DON'T WANT PEACE, THEY'VE MADE THAT CLEAR, THEIR INTENTION IS TO MURDER US ALL, KNOWING THAT AND MOVING FORWARD ITS OUR OBLIGATION TO PROTECT EVERY SQUARE INCH OF LAND AND EVERY JEW ON IT.....NO LAND FOR PEACE. ALL LAND WILL DO IS GIVE THE ARABS AN EVEN GREATER STRATEGIC POSITION FROM WHICH TO ATTACK US......NOW TELL ME WHAT GOVERNMENT WOULD DO THAT?
45. throw them out

46. What Eitam's comments show...
Shmuel Addams ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (09.11.06)
... that someone is starting to take Feiglin seriously! The existing political framework has failed us all -- Jew and Arab alike. And we're all paying the price, as is the West. The necessary solutions aren't always the nicest ones. It's taken too long for Israel and the West to internalize this, and wake up to the existential threats. It's rather appropriate that these words are being said on the 5th anniversary of 9/11.
47. #38 - Nothing is wrong with me.
Bechor   (09.11.06)
I am not an insane leftist. I will not make excuses for the cowardly arab terrorists in Gaza. You are right. We have tried many times to create peace between ourselves and the arabs, and each and every times they have spat in our faces. However, under certain circumstances, I believe that even they will accept peace. The time for peace has not yet come. They are not yet ready for it. You may remember that before Israel was formed, there was a time when WE were not ready for peace either.
48. Eitam for Prime Minister.
LEE ,   NY, USA   (09.11.06)
I bet if he joins with Moshe Feiglin he'd be a formidable candidate at this time. Oh and Aharon (#1), you are a disgrace to your name. The original Aharon must be weeping in heaven. With so much hate within you for your own brothers how can you begin talk of peace with our neighbors?
49. Not all 'won't live here in peace'
secular sabra 2 ,   Israel   (09.11.06)
I am not denying that there are Arabs, including the 3 MKs who recently went to Syria, who are trying to undermine and harm Israel. These people should be TRIED and PUNISHED, yes, possibly with expulsion. HOWEVER, you cannot expel the entirety of the Arab population, even if their majority is colluding with the enemy. After all, it is Jewish teachings (the reason that, other than Eichmann, Israel does not use the death penality, for example) that state that it is better to save a guilty man than to harm an innocent one. Additionally, Arab communities across Israel have vastly different personalities - Haifa vs. Umm al-Fahem, for example. This discernment between the innocent and the guilty is (or should be) what distinguishes us from and raises us above our surrounding enemies, who call for the blood of all Jewish Israelis and, often, of all Jews everywhere indiscriminately. That having been said, I would like to point out that MK Eitam -somewhere in the midst of his long statement - stated that there is room for some and certain Arabs in Israel - ie those who are not colluding to undermine the Jewish state. True, he implies that this would be a small number, however, according to most surveys, 60-90 percent of Arabs (including those in Israel and certainly among the Palestinians) support 'resistance tactics' such as suicide bombings, so yes, statistically, sadly they would constitute a small number.
50. Adam Baker - Were Jews Threatening to Exterminate Nazis?
Nannette ,   London, UK   (09.11.06)
Why make the moral comparison? You say your an AMATEUR historian - and it shows.
51. #44 In the same world as you, I should hope.
Bechor   (09.11.06)
Once again, do not misunderstand me. I am not trying to make excuses for these filthy terrorist scum. I know very well that they do not want peace AT THE MOMENT, and I understand very well what their goals are. That does not mean, however, that they will NEVER seek peace. Under the right conditions, even they will accept peace. At the moment it is too early.
52. And after Tibi and Bishara, throw out Beilin, too!!!

jews in Germany were not dedicated to the destruction of Germany. Jews were deported to gas chambers because they were jews. Hitler had a cabinet retreat to determine who is biologically a jew. The situation isn't the same. In General the arabs are dedicated to the destruction of israel it is almost a religion unto its self. israel doesn't need a Goerbels to deligitimize the arabs. The arabs have deligitimized themselves through their own actions. How can you have any minister in Government call for the kidnapping of its citizens? How can any democracy have a minister that doesn't abide by its own rule. No democracy can and no democracy does tolerate it. The only democracy that does it is Israel. its about time that Israel follow the rest of the world and expel these ministers who have contempt for the state in which they are in andreceive a paycheck to boot. during the lebanon war, The anger the Israeli arabs had were not against hizballah that fired 4,000 rockets which killed some israeli arabs. They were angry at the Israeli Government. Does that make sense? Yes, If you don't believe that the state of israel has a right to defend itself (a.k.a right to exist). That my friend is the problem. if you don't accept the rule of the government (in any country), then why should arabs have an unconditional right to live where ever they want? under whatever circumstance they want?!
54. Arabs must live in their Jew free zone of Gaza
BernardRoss ,   St. Anns Bay Jamaica   (09.11.06)
There they can cavort with the enemies of the jews. They are not being sent to the gas chambers, as the arab 5th column pretends, they should be sent to the jew free zones they have created.
55. Bechor - the ONLY Way They Will Accept Peace...
Nannette ,   London, UK   (09.11.06)
"You are right. We have tried many times to create peace between ourselves and the arabs, and each and every times they have spat in our faces. However, under certain circumstances, I believe that even they will accept peace." We ALL know that the ONLY circumstances they will accept peace is when Israel no longer exists.

Adam ,   Manchester   (09.11.06)
Of course I an amateur historian, are you a professional??? Dumbass Also as in my #33 I am not comparing why Jews/Arabs have been/are seen as people worthy to have their civil liberties stripped, I am suggesting that people have a look at the traits of a Democracy and to see if maligning/marginalising/expelling any particular group is democratic and whether Israel can do this and still be seen by the world as a democracy. Whatever the provocation of some/most (depending on your point of view) of its indegenious Arab population Israel will treat them as equal democratic citizens and not punish them all for the crimes of the minority. The Jews did nothing to provoke the Nazis, they were used as a scapegoat as we all know. I was using the comparison to illustrate a point about relinquishing the rights of emancipated Israeli Arabs who also contribute so much to Israel, which you do not seem to recognise. You see them ALL as negative and just there to be used to help overthrow the Jewish state when the time comes... (G-d forbid!)

"99% of arabs-roughly speaking- BELEIVE ISRAEL HAS NO RIGHT TO EXIST!". 99% of Arabs maybe.. Israeli Arabs can you be sure... where are you getting your opinion polls from or did you conjur them up in your head... the latter me thinks. There was an article in YNET about 6months ago which took GENUINE opinion polls and they found that ever increasing majority Israeli Arabs prefer to live under a democratic Jewish Israeli state than under a very corrupt and pseudoDemocratic Palestinian one! I know your pulling a figure out of the air and using it is very scientific but I think that YNET's one is slightly more reliable.....(!)
58. We want Moshiach, we want Moshiach NOW!!!

Thank God we have at least one Israeli Jewish leader with brain and a love for Torah who's not afraid to speak truth.
59. Re: Effie is right on target.
Sivan K. ,   Israel   (09.11.06)
MK Eitam might sound fanatical to those leftists who have created our current problems, but I say, shame on all of you with your ostrich heads in the sand. All your "Oslo" and "road map" and "expulsion/convergence" peace plans are known failures. As long as even one arab in our midst, and moreso an arab MK, has promoted or abetted terrorism (verbally, monetarily or advisorily) to our known enemies and results have been rocket attacks or kidnappings, then these MK's must be removed immediately from office. As long as arab israelis cheer in streets for our demise, they too must be removed from our land. The world must recognize that Eretz Yisroel did not begin its existence in 1948 at behest of U.N., but with Torah, min HaShamayim, with G-d's gift to those Jews who said Na'aseh V'Nishmah at Har Sinai. But, not to the erev rav, nor to the 'chamushim' the fifth of jews (in mitzrayim) who were left behind (and died) and chose not to join Moshe Rabbeinu. Achdut, Unity, is required amongst all political parties and people in Israel today, in order to achieve true peace. Once we are peaceful within, then the world can become peaceful without. Eitam only want to awaken the jewish minds who think only of the moment to redirect their thinking for the future, one of a true jewish state, a land flowing with milk and honey. Zionism is not dead, just on hold, waiting for this generation to remember the horrific history of our people to get to this stage. Not one country is ever going to fight along us, nor send in millions of dollars to help us rebuild, nor grant us sovereignty. We stand alone. And, Effie clearly understands the ramifications of this point. Yasher Koach.
60. This problem could have been resolved
Larry ,   Eastbourne, UK   (09.11.06)
The problem of Israeli Arabs - and it is a problem when so many are disloyal to the country they live in - cannot now be resolved, but there were two chances in the past, as follows:- 1. If there had been unrestricted Jewish immigration to Palestine during the British Mandate period, not only would hundreds of thousands of European Jews have escaped the Holocaust, but there would now be a far more favourable demographic split between Jews and Arabs throughout the whole of Israel and the present Palestinian territories. 2. If the international community had insisted that Arab states, with their vast oil wealth and huge amounts of land, take in the Arabs who did not want to live in a Jewish state, just as the tiny state of Israel took in Jews from Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
