What is the racist Majadele doing at an anti-racist event or in the Israeli government in the first place? A racist who receives his fat pay-check from taxes from the same nation he incites against.

Just see this from Wikipedia to revel in the 'Golden days' where the "Moors lived happily with the co-operative Jews" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Morocco Yeah, really great.

Each time,Moslems speak about "golden age",they refer to times when they rule countries under Charia law,and jews and christians as well were /are "dhimmis".

anthem can be appointed a minister.

decent manner and they immediately melt.

The reform care more about goyim than they do about Jews.I am not religious,but I do not regard the reform movement as fellow Jews.No more than the hara-dim. Would the moslems let a Jew speak in their mosque or even enter one? No.

No yarmulkas in the synagogue? Do they also have a crucifix hanging on the wall? What an arrogant MAN this arab minister is! Talk about being uneducated and uncultured with no idea where he is! Someone please tell this fool he is in the Jewish State of Israel, not some backward arab dictatorship, where he really belongs.. I cannot imagine a common man, let alone a politician who would defiantly refuse to don a kippa when entering an American, European, or Latin American synagogue, seder, etc. , giving the excuse he's a Christian and not Jewish. If that congregation had any self respect, they'd have walked out in protest, and left the idiot standing there alone. Imagine the treatment a non muslim would get charging into a mosque with shoes on! Leave it to Olmert to elevate such scum to the level of a minister in his cabinet.

I'm sorry. I'm 3rd gen conservative, happy with that. However, WTF is a synagogue were people does not kipot? If he doesn't want to wear the kippa, than tell him not to enter in the synagogue. If his speech is what matters, he can do it outside the synagogue. Even the John Paul II displayed more respect for us than this "israeli". BTW, try to enter with bermudas into a catholic church in South America... there is a difference between receiving a guest and being disrespected by a guest. I do not offer alcohol to my muslim friends... This minister should be sent home...

one: i´m glad that he went there two: if a non jew visits a mosque , he´s supposed to take his shoes off ! and i`m sure it´s being done without hesitation. He should think about it.

No Harry, not only in Israel. In any country that is a free country, where people are not coerced by their government to salute flags, recite anthems, or utter pledges. Like this country, for example, where some Orthodox Jews I know do not salute the flag because they consider it idolatry. You're free to agree or disagree with them, but the government respects their right to do as they please. As it should in Israel.

A bunch of racists in this Reform organization.

The most important part is that he bring a message or tolerance and coexitance. However, I do think that out of respect he should have worn a yamaka, just like muslims expect all women (including non muslims) to cover their hair when entering a mosque.

and fight against the Jews he disagrees with. He is an intelligent enemy in a country that has totally lost perspective toward reality.

"Arab minister visits Reform synagogue in Tel Aviv"

As usual you have the right idea!!

and balanced, good job!

do we also have the option not to wear a head scarf or have bare arms when we visit a mosque as I am not a muslim.?? We would find this a lack of respect. I think the community did right not to refuse tha arab minister, but I seriously doubt both his intelligence and good will. In any other case we would just call this respectless.
