1. Feeling affinity with other Arabs?
Michael Hess aka BS ,   Charlotte, NC   (04.25.10)
This is proof that they belong to the vast Arab Empire and it is better for them to move there.
2. Can we arrange for them to stay there permanently?
Aryeh ,   Bat Ayin   (04.25.10)
Perhaps we can use Olmert's bribing talents to bribe Kaddafi into offering them higher paying jobs, and lots of side benefits to keep them all there
3. This is being done with official sanction
vernon marriott ,   Tel Aviv   (04.25.10)
I'm sure there is official backing for this - particularly since they are mostly "officials". Could it be a prelude to a thaw or some diplomatic manourvering with the Arab League? In any case, there is now no bar to people with Israeli stamps in foreign passports going to Libya
4. Barakeh confirms that the "Palestinians" are a myth
Tahl ,   Ashdod   (04.25.10)
"There is a large community of Arabs of Libyan descent that live in Israel". And not only of Libyan descent, but also Syrian, Egyptian, Jordanian, etc... All those falahs from the neighboring countries clearly had no origin or heritage in this country - they migrated here in recent centuries, and only 40 years ago coined the term "Palestinians" as their new collective identity. Good to see that they finally admit it themselves now.
5. Sorry ,there's nothing like AKKA
Salma ,   Palestine   (04.25.10)
Sorry, Mr. Baraka maybe Tripoli is a beautiful and amazing city but excuse me, there's nothing like Akka ,it's the most Beautiful City In the Middle east and perhaps in the world in my eyes ....very proud to be from Akka
6. Move to Libya!
nadav ,   tlv   (04.25.10)
If they like it so much there, let them move to Libya - it has more than enough room to absorb the 1 million Arab muslims in Israel!
7. The real open-air prison called Libya
Logic ,   Israel   (04.25.10)
You guys can stay there. Libya has ruined the lives of its Arabs. It's a REAL open air prison: http://www.michaeltotten.com/archives/001029.html
8. Libya and Akko
NYC Girl   (04.25.10)
Yeah, right. I'm sure they have a whole lot in common...until you try criticizing the government of Col. Khadafy the same way you criticize everything about Israel. Not only that, but in Israel these MKs don't have to worry about being brought up on charges of treason or sedition for their embracing of Israel's enemies, while in Libya they could be looking at the business end of a noose for the same sorts of offenses.
9. Barakeh's basic rights
Raphael ,   Netanya   (04.25.10)
are obviously superior to those of the some 300 libyan Jews who were butchered by the arab mob in 1945, 46, 67, and to those of the 30,000 who had toflee for their lives.
10. # 4 I look forward to know where your roots?!!
Salma ,   Palestine   (04.25.10)
ever heared Palestinian pound(junyah filastini )or Palestine Currency Board ...This was before more than eighty years...Do not want you to remain ignorant
11. Feeling affinity
alan ashholevitz ,   Cambridge MA   (04.25.10)
Instead of them staying within their "Arab empire" why don't the jews of so-called israel return to their European and american homes. You may as well have an early start.
12. clown sumit, they just need rubber chicken
ghostq   (04.25.10)
the big round nose they already have. and Akko was never arab, try Phonician, much like the Edomis, they also were semetic cousins of the Israelits. from writting inscriptions that was found in Akko. mmm sound like they wanted a free trip to lybia, mmm ask Gadafi to restor the jewish properies he confiscated in the 60's. naaaa arab only care for themselves.
13. Best line in the Article
Proud to be home ,   Modiin, Israel   (04.25.10)
"...explained El-Sana, 'People must be able to make a separation – we shouldn't be the victims of the Arab-Israeli conflict.' " Hey El-Sana, you are right. Neither should Jewish MK's as well. So, can you please arrange all access trips for Jews to Syria, Iraq, Iran, etc. ? Don't worry I won't hold my breath! Hypocriites!
14. To Mr. BS #1
rad ,   charlotte   (04.25.10)
We, arabs, Agree that they belong to what you called the "Arab Empire" and we want to move them to it.. with their belongings if you know what i mean ;)
15. to #10 be carful of what you wish for
ghostq   (04.25.10)
he might prove you r using his property. as for curency most of it r donation money, try Saudi currency. As for palestine curency there is inscription in hebrew on those mandatory coins since jews were also called palestinian, in the hebrew there is EI letters means land of Israel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Palestine_Mandate_Stamp_SG_72.jpg in hebrew written the land of Israel.
16. #4 You caught Barakeh right in the core!
Keren ,   IL-BR   (04.25.10)
You caught the core truth that arabs agents of the "arab world"cynically ignore as part of their cunning play! Israel belong to Jews;arabs to Arabia! And by Arabia I mean their Arabic Peninsula. The rest of what is called "arab world",are just countries that arabs have been squatting by force. Look at Africa!Look now at their attempts in South America!Look at Europe!Look at everywhere!!!! It is overdue the time to curb them to their rightull physical domain-ARABIA!!!!- and finally have all humanity to aknowlegde of what really means this extremelly pernicious "arab conquest". People must wake up of this nightmare!
17. #11- steer clear of hypocritical statements
Proud to be home ,   Modiin, Israel   (04.25.10)
Hey since you are moving people, why don't you start by getting off Indian land. You are welcome to go back to England, where your Anti-Semitism will be much appreciated.
18. There is a very large community of Libyans in Israel
Danny   (04.25.10)
unfortunately they are mostly Jews expelled from Libya after 1948....
19. #10, you mean the mandate that UK got
Danny   (04.25.10)
in order to build a Jewish homeland? That the "Palestine" you mean?
20. Too bad Libya won't let them live there.
Yossi G. ,   Jerusalem   (04.25.10)
21. It is natural that Arabs feel so much better in Dictatorship
Michael Hess aka BS ,   Charlotte, NC   (04.25.10)
and a bloody Tyrannical one at that. This is because the Arab Middle East is the world's first entirely parasitic culture because it imitates poorly, consumes voraciously, spits hatred, exports death, ruins everything in its path and creates nothing.
22. Hey Assholevitz #11, you are true to your name
Michael Hess aka BS ,   Charlotte, NC   (04.25.10)
