Shut your yap or get your bum out of here!
2. This Traitor Should Ask for Forgiveness
Cynic ,   USA   (09.29.06)
This guy, who openly supports the enemies of Israel, should be tried for treason.
3. Forgive this Tibi
Steve ,   USA   (09.29.06)
B"H Tibi, Please forgive me for not living along with you in Israel. Please forgive me for not exercising my "right of return" to be closer to you and your people. -Steve

6. Forgiveness
Jerry ,   USA   (09.29.06)
Yes, indeed, Jews need to consider their treatment of Arabs, but that is a matter individual and group process that is taking place every day in the pages of Haaretz, Yediot, etc. and on radio stations such as Arutz Sheva. Every Jew is aware of the humanity of the other, including the humanity of Arabs in their midst, though relations could be better. Forgive my ignorance, but I do not believe that there is an equivalent day in the Muslim calendar like Yom Kippur. Perhaps, Mr. Tibi would grow a bit if he offered forgiveness to the Jews rather than demanded it of them. Reciprocity would go a long way to easing tensions.
7. ARAB MK Bishara Called SEVERAL TIMES FOR INTIFADA
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (09.29.06)
against Israel's Jews. The ugly, racist, rabid Jew-hate of ethnically cleansing 10,000 Gaza and north Samaria Jews violated Article 80 of the United Nations Charter, broke Israel's Basic Human Rights Law and Clause 9 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. 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..."
8. The day Israel had their PATRIOTIC MKs ATTACKED by POLICE
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (09.29.06)
Three MKs were attacked at Amona: Aryeh Eldad, Effie Eitam, and Benny Elon. The faces of the three patriotic Jewish MKs are very well known. The police knew exactly who they were attacking. Arab MK Bishara has called several times for an intifada against Israel. Other Arab MKs support the violent overthrow of Israel. Can Israel's government explain why the government allows Arab MKs to commit TREASON and hate incitement to a second holocaust of Jews, and patriotic Jewish MKs, Ministers of Israel's government are viciously attacked by Israel's police? Peaceful protesters were savagely attacked by police who used all their might in hitting the protesters repeatedly with metal batons. Passive Jewish protesters sustained multiple, serious head wounds. Other victims suffered broken jaws, ribs, and limbs. February 1, 2006, the day recorded in history when on the orders of Olmert/Kadima, 7,000 Israeli police and IDF went to war against Jewish innocents instead of against Israel's barbaric enemies. http://www.IsraelNationalNews.com/Must-Watch
9. PA School Books in ARAB ISRAELI Schools Teach HATE & JIHAD
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (09.29.06)
Israeli leaders allow the wicked lie to be taught that the ancient inhabitants of Israel were Arabs! And treasonously allow the indoctrination of Arab Israelis to commit violent jihad against Jewish innocents and destroy Israel. www.israelnationalnews.com Erasing Israel by David Bedein Aug 29, '06 / 5 Elul 5766 ...the new school books that the same Mahmoud Abbas has now introduced in the Palestinian Authority school system - run independently of Hamas - represent a curriculum that prepares a new generation of Palestinians to destroy Israel. Because these PA school books have also been incorporated in the Arab schools in Jerusalem, which raises cause for further concern, a movement is afoot in the Israeli Arab schools in the rest of Israel to adopt the PA curriculum in their schools. Indeed, the latest study of PA textbooks, www.intelligence.org.il/eng/default.htm, commissioned by the Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center in Herzelia: 1. Israel does not appear on any maps of the world in the new PA textbooks, while maps of Israel replace the name Israel with Palestine in all of the new Palestinian Authority school books. 2. The new Palestinian School Books "annex" sites in Israel to Palestine. "Haifa is a Palestinian seaport,"... "Galilee, Nazareth and Beit She'an are regions in Palestine,"... 3. The new Palestinian school books mention Israel only as an enemy, in reference to "occupation of lands" in 1948 and 1967... 4. The new Palestinian school books present Zionism only as an enemy movement: "The Palestinian people are under an oppressive siege, limiting their movement and way of life,"... Accusation against settlements [from 1948!] of damaging water sources... 5. The new Palestinian School Books make the false claim that an "extremist Zionist" set fire to the Al-Aqsa Mosque in 1969... 6. The new Palestinian school books teach that the First Zionist Congress at Basel fostered the Zionist State based on a secret decision of what came came to be known as the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion."... 7. The new Palestinian School books teach that the only ancient inhabitants of Israel were Arabs... 8. The new Palestinian school books teach that Palestinians must use war and violence - especially martyrdom - to accomplish their goals... The warrior goes to war faced with one of the good options: victory or martyrdom in battle for the sake of Allah... "Allah gave the people of this land (Al-Sham and Palestine) an important task: they must stand on the forefront of the Muslim campaign against their enemies, and only if they fulfill their duty to their religion, nation, and land will they be rewarded as stated in the scriptures."... 9. The new Palestinian school books feature children with names such as Jihad (holy war) and Nidal (struggle)... 10. The new Palestinian school books stress the importance of "return" of refugees to all of Palestine - by violence: "The wrong must be made right by returning them to their homes...under the banners of glory, jihad [holy war] and struggle"... In May, 2001, when this reporter asked then-Mayor of Jerusalem Ehud Olmert about the incorporation of PA textbooks in the Arab schools in Jerusalem, his answer was that "they can teach what they want, and we will teach what we want." Questions placed to now-Prime Minister Olmert on this issue have gone unanswered... http://www.israelnationalnews.com/article.php3?id=6501
10. ARAB MK: 'I Advised PA to KIDNAP SOLDIER'
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (09.29.06)
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
11. like everything else, why can't forgiveness be mutual?
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (09.29.06)
which side has said they will never forgive? why do arabs feel they are justified in everything they do, terror-wise? never any apology. ever. they should be ashamed but they do not even begin to understand the concept.
12. Ha!
Josh   (09.29.06)
Those in prison belong in prison. I notice you don't mention that any Arabs should ask apology for hurting Christians, Jews or otherwise. Then they have the nerve to complain about not enough money. Stop with the comedy bit, aly off the drugs, and come back to reality, you get what you deserve.
13. When are Arabs ever going to ask for forgiveness?
Michael U ,   SF,CA   (09.29.06)
I have never heard an Arab say that Terrorism is wrong, they will hem and haw, call it by another name 'freedom fighters', 'holy warriors', etc.. When it comes down to it, they just want to kill Jews. I know many Israelis and Jews, and I have never heard a call to kill arabs just because they are arab. I have heard that Israel wants to protect itself from the enemies within, who mostly are Arabs. I call on all Arabs to ask for forgiveness for all the atrocities they have commited against the Jewish people and more importantly against the Jewish nation. Until such an apology is asked for, I don't think Israel needs to apologize for a thing...
14. What an idiot
Ryan ,   Calgary, Canada   (09.29.06)
How about getting all the other arabs in surrounding countries and militias to smarten up instead of attacking Israel and laying blame on Israel and the US, are they sure it's not my cat that is making them poor and hungry, he's a mean cat. Maybe if most arabs didn't act like idiots the decent ones would be treated better, but easier to blame Israel, cause if he blamed his own people for the growing international hatred of arabs he would end up decapitated as an infidel traitor,
15. To the rag head weeds infesting Israel ..GET LOST!
Al ,   Canada   (09.29.06)
16. Funny, no free-speaking Jewish MKs in Arab countries
JW ,   NY   (09.29.06)
Israel has been indulging this ingrate of a fifth-column traitor for too long. Tibi should be thanking his lucky stars for his freedom, status & wealth as a resident in Israel...a tolerance an Israeli would never secure if he lived in an Arab country.
17. arab leaders
m ,   california   (09.29.06)
No wonder the Arabs stay locked in despair..With "numb nuts" like this guy telling them fairy tales he keeps them locked in failure while he wears tailored suits and drives a Mercedes they lanquish for his benefit and the other bloodsucker leaders they just keep on following to hell. They never seem to learn that the Jews are still their best friends and hope for the future..These are the same leaders that encouraged their minions to tear all the profit producing green houses down to help future keep themselves in squalor..They lost all their chance to make a living but that what this so called leader really needs-the adlolation of the stupid....
18. the most ridiculous thing I ever heard

19. shut the hell up

20. Ask Arabs for forgiveness
clifffrommontreal   (09.29.06)
Hum, should be the other way around. That arab should thank his lucky star he's allowed to say such crap. This guy has some nerve.Another brainwashed hatebot brought to you by the ROPma!
21. You First, Tibi
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (09.29.06)
Forgiveness has to be reciprocal, not just one way. Begging forgiveness from an unrepentant sinner is not righteous, it is foolish. BTW, the talkbacker who used my screen name on the Soros thread #25 to post a fake "forgiveness" message pretending to be me, has to ask me forgiveness. My email is above.
22. All the palestinians in the west bank should
freedom ,   canada   (09.29.06)
ask for forgiveness for the hatred that has been presented against them. One only has too look at the injustices in Bethlehem and the five churches that were recently burned in the west. I am thoroughly disgusted with the way the palestinians have behaved with the christians who were in bethlehem long before anyone from jordan.
23. Atonement
Stephen ,   USA   (09.29.06)
When will the Jews of Israel, which every Jew in the world feels part of, ask for forgiveness of our own sins against non-jews...When will the Jews of Israel take responsibiltity for the inequalities that non-jews suffer... Why do we continue to be a stiff necked people who feel only us Jews are worthy of entitlements... When are we going to recognize that we are all G-ds chosen people...We are all, every single one of us, the children of G-d and have a solem obligation to express Chesed...Loving kindness to all...
24. Because
David ,   USA / ISRAEL   (09.29.06)
Because your alliance is to the Arab world and the enemies of Israel.You call yourself citizens but you support every Jewish killed by the ones you support. In any other contry you will bespending time in Jail and not in the Kenesset. It is very simple and clear
25. Arab MKs have a lot to criticize
joseflklein ,   ottawa, canada   (09.29.06)
Meanwhile they should be thankful, that Israel provides them with a safe home and membership in its ruling organization. MK Nadia Hilou says: "After all, we are citizens of this State and not citizens of Jordan or Egypt. Our home is here and not there, but we aren’t accepted here." Is Hilou really suggesting that Jordan or Egypt would be glad to have him, just like they have been happyfor 58 years to keep his displaced countrymen in squalid refugee camps, with the humiliation of being fed and clothed by dollars mainly from the USA? Let's face it most Israeli Arabs would violently turn against their Israeli neighbours in a minute, if their fellow Arabs were to defeat Israel in war. If that were to happen their human rights under Arab rule would quickly disappear. Enuf said about these two faced whiners!
26. mr tibi is right
tal   (09.29.06)
some israelis should realise the despair caused to so many palestinians and ask forgiveness as part of their yom kipur prayers

29. Is he crazy or is y-net nuts to have this article?
jason white ,   afula,israel   (09.29.06)
Let tibi keep out of our holidays and our knesset and our land. Do the arabs ask for forgiveness when they riot and scream "death to the Jews"? When they help terrorist bombers carry out their missions in Israel? When they sit down and teach the enemy? When they celebrate each terrorist attack.When they raise money for the terrorists? If Eitam and Lieberman are weeds,then tibi and his kind are the fertilizer that feeds the weeds. you are not one fifth of the population,but a fifth column!
30. I'd choose Lieberman over Tibi the Holocaust denier any day
Beth Landau ,   Tel Aviv   (09.29.06)
Considering that a majority of Arabs in the land of Israel deny the Holocaust, openly identify with & support our enemies, challenge our right to exist and call for our destruction, I think it is safe to say that if anyone should be asking for forgiveness, it would have to be the former advisor to the Jew killer, Yasser Arafat, whom he worked for prior to his run for the Knesset. Mr. Tibi should ask the Jewish people for forgiveness, especially given the fact that he has spent much of his career inciting nothing but Anti Semitic hatred.
