31. Democratic Racism
Cynic #2   (02.02.09)
Is there such a thing? It seems Mr. Ben-Ari symbolizes and actually confirms its existence, in addition to the other racist bigots on this forum. Good luck in your new Massada.
32. Meir Kahane murdered the Jewish girl Iris Kones.
Izzy Hanniyeh ,   Israel   (02.02.09)
That is the main reason he ran from the US to Israel for shelter. He does not deserve the honor heaped on him by the right wing.
33. He lives in the dark ages.
De   (02.02.09)
fortunately he lives in a democracy where he is allowed to say what he wants (to a degree, if Arab Mks are allowed to make racist remarks, I will be patient with him too) But I do not agree. He lives on a different planet.
34. #2 in their list is also great
they are ,   the true israelis   (02.02.09)
Aryeh Eldad. They have my vote. They remind me of the spirit in this country when we came thirty three years ago, and I'd like it back.
35. Don't be suprised if they score 7-10 seats
Norman   (02.02.09)

David ,   USA, exile   (02.02.09)
You ask a very high price. I can think of a much cheaper way to have you leave.
37. #26 Yoel
David ,   USA, exile   (02.02.09)
Yirmeyahu was a Prophet in his day, yet the people did not listen. Does that mean he was a poor communicator? He spoke the Word of HaShem yet he was persecuted. The failure is not with the Prophet, it is with the hardened hearts and denying ears of the audience.
38. Indigenous means you originated here thousands of years ago?
de   (02.02.09)
and this is not proven. Ramalleh est in 1500 by Arabs from now Jordan. Bethlehem - arabian tribes. 1500 Beit Safafa & Jala 1400 tribes from wadi Musa in Jordan. Jaffa - Egyptian settlements left by the Egyptian invasion of the 1830's by the pasha ibrahim Ali (also those of Askelon who later fled to Gaza. Further south you go most of Egyptian origin of the same time. Safed - Algerian settlements (on file in arabic) The black tribes of the Negev, descendants of slaves brought by the invading army There is enough documents to prove this (in arabic too), period maps, records, and surveys that prove this. While it does not solve anything it does take away that label Indigenous. Are you saying that the Jews have no claim here at all, that their presence is not known ( try literature in Arabic on this) For me , both Jews and Arabs have history here but Jews are no newcomers.
39. Got my vote too!!!
Hugo ,   Venezuela   (02.02.09)
40. Good Idea. More oil, bananas and pretty woman down there
Zohan ,   Tel Aviv   (02.02.09)
41. No sacrifices - everything else is good
Steve ,   San Francisco   (02.02.09)
Sacrifices at the temple? This cannot be in this modern day and age. However, everything else he is saying is going to happen sooner or later.
42. Dr. Ben-Ari
Isaac Shladovsky ,   East Windsor, USA   (02.02.09)
What kind of a doctor is this...you fill the bank as you wish. Theodore Herzl must be turning in his Zionist grave.
43. The Real Kahane
Aryeh ,   Haifa, Israel   (02.02.09)
Rabbi Kahane also wanted to revamp the educational system in Israel, teaching Navi and Zionism in all schools from the far-left to the far-right. I don't wonder what he would do with revisonist professors who teach that the Arabs are the true people of Israel and that we all are settlers. He would probably fire all profs who shout insults on Israeli soldiers. Too bad we can no longer vote for him, he might have gannered some support this year.
44. why not america?
bri ,   phil usa   (02.02.09)
plenty of room here
45. HaShem yirachem - G-d have mercy on us
Karen R ,   USA   (02.02.09)
If this is the type of person being sent to the Knesset we won't need Iran to do Israel in - we'll do the job ourselves and without an Islamic bomb.
46. ever hear of
logic   (02.02.09)
ever hear of the saying, "keep your friends close, and your enemies closer?" how much control will you have when they turn around to stab you in the back; and when all the money you gave to the israeli arabs to leave is going to be used against you.
47. #38
Steph   (02.02.09)
Good for you!! Excellent! They always throw out their slogans and the ignoramouses actually believe them!! Do the Gazans know thatthere were jews before there were moslems? And their main papa, Abraham, was Jewish in Israel. I don't even know whether they know that they are lying!!! So funny.
48. 38
Rosie ,   Israel   (02.02.09)
Thank you for valuable information
49. Leave the IDF out of this
Abe Froman ,   NY, NY   (02.02.09)
It's for the politicians to order the IDF what to do. Don't like the orders? Then Vote. Don't make soldiers choose between civilian power centers via disobedience. We tried that in 66CE-70CE, and it didn't work out so well.
50. #31, You are totally right
Mark ,   UK   (02.02.09)
Kahane's argument is eugenetic and should not be proposed in a democratic parliament.
51. #41 Steve
David ,   USA, exile   (02.02.09)
Why not? Because you say so? Because PETA says so? Are you now the Almighty? Or maybe PETA is? Where did you get your authority to decide what parts of Scripture will be retained and what parts would be declared obsolete? You are on dangerous ground my friend!
52. The Jews of Venzuela would be endangered by Arab Muslims...
Rivkah   (02.02.09)
and they do not have an army to fight them legally. Michael the Archangel is the guardian angel of Israel, not Venezuela. Arab Muslims should be sent to Muslim nations, not to Venezuela.
53. #44 - bri, How about Palestine, Texas?
Joe ,   Ramat Gan   (02.02.09)
54. Compensation
Jeff ,   San Antonio   (02.02.09)
He is right, pay them compensation money, otherwise there will be a Palestinian state free of Jews and a Jewish state full of Palestinians and if you don’t get rid of them it will end like Kosovo, Israel will loose another chunk of its territory and another Moslem- Palestinian state will come out of it.
55. #17-palestinian
Shlomo ,   Israel   (02.02.09)
Our descendants come from here, the Land of Israel. Yours come from arab countries. They decided to emigrate here for a better life. If your decendants are philistines then your true 'home' is either Greece or Cyprus. Philistines were called 'sea people'. They came to Gaza by boat and slowely infiltrated the arab population. This is written in the Tanach which you are suppossed to believe as a moslem.
56. They hated Kahane because he was religious
Besalel ,   Kew Gardens, NY   (02.02.09)
The big lie is that Kahane was hated by the Israeli establishment because he was too far to the right or he was an extremeist. In fact, almost everything he said was adopted by one party or another (no party has adopted everything he said). The real reason he was hated by the establishment is because he was a religious Jew with national aspirations. In Israel, religious Jews cannot have a desire to be Prime Minister. In Israel if you are a religious Jew you are a second class citizen. Religious Jews are expected to vote for Shas or Agudah, who, no matter how strong, will never desire to be Prime Minister. The first Orthodox Jewish Israeli PM will be Israel's Barak Obama.
57. You people can't be serious!
GHook93 -Zionist Jew ,   Chicago   (02.02.09)
How the hell do you expell 1.1 mil Israel Arabs from Israel to Turkey, Venezuela etc. They have to accept them and the people have to be willing to go. Who the hell wants to go to Venezuela? Its a 3rd world sh1t hole with oil. You say do it forcibly! Yea right! The international community would go nutz and it wouldn't be the usual Arab States, and Arab and leftist minorities in Europe. It would be the governments in Europe, Canada and the US that would turn on Israel. Jews worldwide would been slaughtered on the streets! This is not a smart ideas. Its an idea that would lead to the end of Israel, Judaism altogether!
58. Enough with luftmensch, Israel needs to face metsiut!!!
Flavio ,   Sao Paulo, Brazil   (02.02.09)
Come on, folks, no matter how much we like our dislike this man's proposals, the screaming truth is only one: each and every one of them are completely impractical, cannot and will not be carried out, ever, in a democratic Israel!!! Expulsion of arabs, demolition of Al Aksa and Dome of the Rock, etc etc, all this are luftmensch dreams!!! It is so very, very sad to see how much energy is wasted is this kind of sterile debate!!! Knesset candidates should be discussing much, much more pressing issues, namely, the Iranian threat; the Saudi peace proposal; the relentlessly ticking Arab demographic bomb!! There are real, folks, these are issues of life and death for Israel and Israelis!!! Instead, what do we see? Inane discussions about an screamingly impossible Third Temple, about the 'transfer' of Palestinians (unnacceptable by any ethical jewish or civilized western standards), coming from people who should have been spending their intellectual talents into much more meritory and urgent causes!!! Please, PLEASE put your feet on the ground and WAKE UP! In times like these, Israelis cannot afford to live in the clouds!!!
59. #52 Rivkah
David ,   USA, exile   (02.02.09)
Yisra'el is a people first and Land second. The Land will always be sacred but if the People of Yisra'el are in another land it doesn't mean that divine protection will be withheld from them whether or not it comes from Michael. If you are grafted into the Nation of Yisra'el you are His child and under His care.
60. Dont forget the toll.
Gideon Reader   (02.02.09)
Wowsers! Or the toll House cookies. They can take Barak's tunnel and make great time.
