1. Knesset racist?
israeli ,   israel   (11.05.08)
Mr. Tibi, you don't like the Knesset? You have the right to resign. You also have the right to leave Israel, although you are a citizen. And please, please, learn more words. All you can say is racist, racist, racist. You graduated from the Hebrew University, for crying out loud. An educated person should be able to use a few more words!
2. tibi and racism
alexi   (11.05.08)
Tibi, you know arabs are the racists as they allow no religion other than islam. You want an arab state, move to Jordan or syria or west bank. Israel is a jewish state and you have to recognize that. If you don't , then go out and live with your fire breathing moslem brotherhood cousins.
3. Ahmad Tibi
Ricardo Macher ,   KarneiShomron Israel   (11.05.08)
Tibi is partially right in what he says that we hate arabs and muslims. Just that we don't hate all arabs and muslims per se, just ugly little traitors like Tibi, who get's his bread from our taxes, is not loyal to israel and feels free to insult the State of Israel. He should be expelled from the Knesset if not for political reasons (that we have a lot) at least for being a traitor and a Jew hater!
4. This coming from Racist Tibi? Laughable
David ,   Boston, USA   (11.05.08)
He may or may not be right on certain accounts, but he is DEFINATELY a Racist himself.
5. Tibi Move to America
Ely ,   Pardes Chana   (11.05.08)
Where you can run for President!!!!!!!!!!
6. Dislike For Arabs and Muslims?
Bill Foonman ,   Jacksonville USA   (11.05.08)
Exactly what has Islam done to endear itself to the world? Respect is earned, not given. Islam has a long way to go to earn that respect .
7. Mr Tibi should learn all about racism.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (11.05.08)
He should go study in Saudi Arabia & learn all about it first hand.
8. Kadima
(11.05.08)
The Kadima MKs did not vote against the Arab municipalities and for the Druze municipalities because they are racists but because they are corrupt in the Kadima tradition. All Tibi has to do is pass a few stuffed envelopes to Olmert and friends and Tibe will get what he wants.
9. # 5 We don't want him
Bill ,   US   (11.05.08)
We have enough arab muslims who cry racism in order to get their way. I wish we had more politicians like the guy from NRP who explained the Knesset's favortism to the Druze by basically saying, "we like them more. they don't ram tractors into us."
10. Knesset is not racist it is Jewish
Besalel ,   Kew Gardens, NY   (11.05.08)
It is the Knesset of the Jewish state, right? Looking out for Jewish interests, no? Also, Ynet characterizes Yisrael Beitenu as a religious party. What a gas! Israel Beitenu wants to secularize marriage and reform the conversion process. Most of its constituents are proven seculars.
11. #6 Ely
David ,   USA   (11.05.08)
Keep your trash there. You elected him now live with him. We already have more than our share of Amalek here in the States. We have plenty Jew haters and Esav is everywhere. Remember you have brothers here so show a little brotherly love.
12. Racist?
Elianah ,   Ramat HaSharon   (11.05.08)
Racist? We're talking about the merger of municipal districts. How does that even begin to equal racism? I think some MKs just needed something to scream about because the business of the day was otherwise boring and uneventful.
13. Ironic
Pete ,   Bat Yam   (11.05.08)
Why does a man with a degree in Medicine who supposedly swore teh Hippocratic Oath abandon a physician's practice and sit in a Knesset that he believes hostile to him and those he represents? Graduating from a University does not make one educated, one who has no honesty can cheat on tests or cry racist to get a degree, it has happened. It seems he enjoys harming our security more than he enjoyed healing people!
14. Apparently Druze aren't Arabs to MK Tibi...
Joe ,   Ramat Gan   (11.05.08)
"The Knesset was riddled with cries of racism on Wednesday when, just moments after it had approved a bill cancelling the merging of two Druze municipalities, two similar bills regarding Arab municipalities were rejected. A number of MKs remarked that the voting was influenced by racism towards the Arab sector." Apparently Druze aren't Arabs according to Tibi. Apparently Jews and Arabs are also different races. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the logic of the fifth column...
15. It cuts both way Tilbi
Ilan ,   Ariel   (11.05.08)
Considering how much enmity comes from these people towards Israelis it is pretty nervy of them to expect that we all would just 'turn the other cheek' .
16. If Tibi doesn't like this Knesset just wait
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (11.05.08)
The next one is not going to be so leftist. Every vote against your bills is because of your actions Mr. Tibi. You earn our scorn via your statements and actions. Your hatred of Jews is palpable and then are surprise and angry when we don't respond as you want. Try being an Israeli first before being an Arab and see how far that gets you. Sow hatred and expect love in return. Doesn't work that way.
17. Well the way (you)Tibi and the rest of the
Eric.. ,   Israel...   (11.05.08)
Arab MKS behave,what do you expect The way the Arab MKS flaunt the law ,normal behaviour.We Israeli Jews are not perfect,there is racism amongst Israeli Jews,which is wrong.But more hate and racism comes from Israeli Arabs.
18. If knesset is racist, Tibi can go somewhere else
Ronny   (11.05.08)
19. How can the Deputy Speaker of the Knesset say that?
Sheila ,   Jerusalem,Israel   (11.05.08)
How many Jews are in Arab governments?
20. The knesset and the high court are racist!
jason white ,   afula,israel   (11.05.08)
They discriminate against the Jews in favor of the enemy!
21. I agree with the Arab
Alexander ,   Herzliya, Israel   (11.05.08)
The Knesset is very racist. It allows fascist Arab anti-Semitic racists to spew hatred toward my country in my parliament. If Tibi leaves Knesset and Israel, Knesset will be less racist.
22. The arabs living in Israel.
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (11.05.08)
If the arabs living in Israel will go on with their opposition to the Jewish State, they, and they alone, will be the ones to be blamed if a Israeli government in the future will consider them as a fifth column and treat them as one. If they accept Israel as their home, compared to all the other Arab countries, Israel will continue to be a blessing to them as explained at : http://xrl.us/bi3hx
23. Ya Tibi habibi, you get back hatred when you hate
Genuine Tosefta ,   Tveria   (11.05.08)
why are you so surprised (not that Tibi habibi is right in this case)
24. Bibi will get rid of Tibi!
Shmendrik ,   Israel   (11.05.08)
He isnt scared of getting rid of these Traitors in the Knesset like the chicken Olmert! Tibi and the rest of them should be in jail for treason to the state. He upholds no vows that he took under oath! These traitors will shut up after Feb.
25. level of parliamentary discourse?
tom ,   toronto, canada   (11.05.08)
does mk tibi throw a hissy-fit every time the knesset doesn't pass a bill of his? is anyone who doesn't vote his way automatically count as a "racist"? is this his only epithet, or does he vocabulary extend to most sophisticated slurs? such behaviour would earn a parliamentarian in most civilized countries an official reprimand, at the very least!
26. Metumtam
helio Rosenvald ,   Brasil   (11.05.08)
Send him to Gaza. Be Hapy in Gaza,whit Hamas money. Israel people pay this metumtam to be our enimy.
