31. We know coexistence is a failure.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (02.05.09)
There is really nothing much to discuss on that subject. The real issue is what are we going to do about it.
32. Marzel in Umm-al-fahm
Alison Yadan ,   Hod Hasharon, Israel   (02.05.09)
Why do we need more trouble? It really is provokation. Get an arab MK to oversee the elections in this town (if you can find one who's not corrupt) and then there'll be no excuse for violence. I personally don't want to see our Police and/or army getting hurt in the riots which will probably take place if Marzel goes there.
33. no
m ,   jerusalem   (02.05.09)
no israeli arab would go into a settlement to vote so why should this guy be allowed in hes only asking to be killed. so why provoke another confrontation ??? its just stupid even though this city is in israel. some places should be left out. an arab wouldnt go into an ultra orthodox area and try to take over a polling station , because they know they will be shot so whats this guy thinking
34. what's really happening
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (02.05.09)
Due to police failure, voting in the Arab villages is corrupt. The average Israeli Arab citizen has no say while corrupt activists stuff ballot boxes so they can distribute funds to their families. This is the main reason that many Arab city councils are bankrupt and their residents receive no services. The protestors do not really care about Marzel. They could ignore him and nothing would happen. They are worried that their election day plans will be ruined and he will see the voting irregularities.
35. Soldier
Dan ,   South Africa   (02.05.09)
Who is Ron Harad??
36. #34 Right!
Keren ,   Israel-SP   (02.05.09)
And as much Jews let such thing to persist,the worse they became. Evil must be uprooted at any cost.Israel has been too lenient to evil and can not postpone resolutions anymore lest would be too late.
37. what'll happen when arabs want to monitor jewish areas?
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (02.05.09)
ina democracy, what's good for the goose is good for the gander, right? or is it a 1-way street?
38. if u didnt notice or forgot because of your media, they are
to 19   (02.05.09)
trying to convert the jews as a realgion into a nationaltiy which wont work, and it appears that you are one of these people that got fooled by the idea, isreal define it self as the land of the jews, and check that out in the independnce paper or anywhere in the internet. wake up from your dreaming and dont let them brainwash you. and arab countrys are not only for arabs, everyone is welcome to live with us and even if we said we its for arabs we wont be racists like isreal who define it self by relagions.
39. stop saying arab MKs are corrupe, take alook
from um el fahim   (02.05.09)
at the jews MKs, ALL of them have scandals, from olmert and down.. all of them have some raped or stole somthing. so look at your MKs 1st and then start lieing
40. israels election ... and its future debated
Psalm 83 ,   Selah   (02.05.09)

41. #23 eitan - stunning ignorance
kl   (02.07.09)
im not sure where to start on this one. ok, geographically, you know that kosovo is in the balkans? secondly, you know that the genocide there was against muslims? what you are saying is get the muslims out before they are massacred as they were in the balkans are you proposing srebrenica the sequel? if youre a marzel supporter, im not surprised.
