1. Revolting beyond belief
Jonathan   (01.28.08)
What would happen to a US congressman for attending Zarkavi or Saddam's funeral? Israel should immediately revoke their MK rights and put them in jail.
2. @Tibi: just stay there!!!
Moshe   (01.28.08)
3. "29th century"?????????????
Kissel   (01.28.08)
4. Arab MKs side by side with terrorists
bob kirk ,   los angeles, usa   (01.28.08)
Once again these Arab MKs display their lack of loyalty and their inhumanity by going to the funeral of a mass-mudering terrorist who dreamed of destroying Israel. One useful thing is that these traitorous MKs and their voters make clear to all that they too are the enemies of Israel. We have been warned.
5. A murderer is dead.
Harold Lane ,   Tel Aviv   (01.28.08)
Georges Habash was one of the Arab leaders that was opposed to any peace arrangement with Israel. He lived through terror, for terror and his legacy is terror. Whether Christian or Muslim, Habash was first of all a mean murderer. To the Arab refugees and the Arabs still living in Judea, Samaria and Gaza he brought only death, sorrow and misery. His is one of the main responsible for thousands of victims : Arabs and Israelis. Today, the only acceptable solution to a peaceful solution of the Israelo-Arab probleme is explained at : http://israelagainstterror.blogspot.com/2008/01/new-paradigm-for-israeli-palestinian_19.html
6. May Arak MKs also live to see Khaled Mashaal's funeral!
jack ,   San Diego, USA   (01.28.08)
7. Israel's Leaders Have NO Red Lines Re Citizenship Revocation
Adina Kutnicki ,   US   (01.28.08)
In the same manner which Jews flocked to the funeral of Arafat, so too will they and their Arab co-conspirators do the same now. ANYONE who attends this funeral from Israel should be denied reentry into the country. There are certain red lines which should be imposed upon citizenship. Treason should be one of them. When one MOURNS the death of a MASTER terrorist who has facilitated and championed the murders of fellow citizens, he/she should be denied to live among their countrymen. Simple as that.
8. I'm surprised
Reality Check ,   BaGolan   (01.28.08)
That Olmert will not be attending
9. Would the go to bin-Laden's funeral?
Zardoz ,   USA   (01.28.08)
10. What a moron...
Zardoz ,   USA   (01.28.08)
11. and they say they are not a 5th column...
(01.28.08)
12. They must been expelled
Frank ,   Canada   (01.28.08)
These guys are gonna celebrate a Jews killer and Olmert is doing nothing. These idiots must go.
13. 29th? Says it all.... end
(01.28.08)
14. "RABBI KAHN "FROM THE GRAVE!
ROLAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (01.28.08)
FREEDOM OF EXIT TO A LEADER OF A PROSCRIBED TERRORIST ORGANISATION THAT ADVOCATES THE KILLING OF JEWS,MUST ENTAIL A PUNISHMENT.THEIR RE-ENTRY SHOULD BE PROHINITTED AS THEY ARE GIVING COMFORT TO THE ENEMY.ANY OTHER CITIZEN WOULD FACE TROUBLE BEFORE THE LAW, ONCE AGAIN...THEIR PRIVILEGES DO NOT EXTEND TO SUPPORT OF OUR ENEMIES!
15. which other Israelis are attending?
eddie ,   London UK   (01.28.08)
Avnery; Olmert; Amos Oz, Beilin?
16. Only in Israel!
Ronni ,   Israel   (01.28.08)
Only in Israel can you see how willfully we put our blinders on and take a long nap, while people who feed off of our taxes pay their respects to a man who was responsible for numerous terror acts and deliberate, targeted assault on Jews. We (the Jews) used to be smart. Now we're giving electricity, water and energy to people who are out to annihilate us one by one... Utter stupidity!
17. #1: Good idea.
(01.28.08)
18. Imagine a US Senator attending Fidel Castro's funeral
Tahl ,   Israel   (01.28.08)
and eulogizing him over there. What exactly would his reception be like, when coming back to the US?
19. i say let him go.
(01.28.08)
it's pretty obvious that he only wants to get a reaction and provoke. but letting him do this and acting like we don't care, that would kill his spirit more than any jail time or deportation will accomplish. don't you get it? by reacting and getting angry, he's getting his way.
20. Palestinian Leaders
jan ,   jerusalem, israel   (01.28.08)
Can anyone in the world tell me the name of a Palestinian leader before the 20th century? Or maybe a government or movement for that matter. I was thinking that maybe Hitlers friend the Mufti of Jerusalem - but maybe I'm missing some other important name.
21. ISRAELI DEMOCRACY IS A FARCE
stude ham   (01.28.08)
It's high time that the electoral system was reformed. Israel proves to the world that proportional representation via party lists is a one roaring joke. Enemies of the state and traitors like these arab reps have no place in democracy.
22. Arab MK's are anti-Israeli
s. mezritch ,   philadelphia, pa   (01.28.08)
Let them go and then deny them re-entry. High treason by members of the Knesset is unacceptable whether commited by an Arab or Jewish MK. Their behavior is anti-Israeli.
23. This is what is all about!
Daniel ,   Israel   (01.28.08)
Arab population living in Israel is not for Israel. Their natural pull is towards their brothers, unfortunately enemy of the Jewish state. If problem is not solved, we shall never end state of emergency in Israel. Every now and then we shall face violence, (May be) until end of this world.
24. Disgraceful behavior
Alex ,   USA   (01.28.08)
Why is that that the people Arabs admire the most are mass murderers? These insurrectionary members of the Israeli Parlament behave as if they already were the Hamas leaders rather than representing Israeli Arabs. George Habash is responsible for gunning down 27 people at Israel's Lod airport in May 1972 among many, many other acts of terror against the Jewish state. What is most alarming and troubling is the complete inaction of the Israeli government, the silence of other Arab-Israelis and other MKs.
25. Nuts, the Jews have totally lost it...
John ,   USA   (01.28.08)
They allow the enemies of Israel who carry the Israeili citizenship join the enemies from the outside
26. Only us Jews aould allow traitors and turncoats like this...
A ,   Jerusalem   (01.28.08)
We really need to overcome our doubt and weakness. We're becoming defeatists willing to roll over for anyone.
27. No. 18 Tahl
NYC Girl   (01.28.08)
While your point is well-taken, perhaps an even more apt analogy would be for an American politician to attend the funeral of somebody like Osama bin Laden because, as obnoxious as Castro may be, he's never called for the annihilation of the United States.
28. Only country in the world.
Robert Rendersa ,   Belgium   (01.28.08)
Israel is the only country in the world to accept Parliament members preaching the destruction of the country and attending ceremonies to hail mass murderes of ot's own citizens. How stupid can one get?
29. Don't let them back into Israel!!!
israeli ,   israel   (01.28.08)
30. TRAITORS
OS ,   Israel   (01.28.08)
They are going to honor a person whose lifelong goal was the destruction of the State of Israel - no two ways about it - this is a traitorous act. Let them stay there - these people don't belong in Israel - they swore their allegiance to the State when they were sworn in to the Knesset. However, their behavior shows that their oath was a lie - they too want the destruction of Israel.
