Birdi ,   Israel   (06.07.10)
Music to my ears. Kick Zoabi & the Arab law makers out of the Knesset. They are all traitors to Israel.
2. just send her to jail for the rest of her life.

3. Kick all those that did not serve in the I.D.F.
jason white ,   afula,israel   (06.07.10)
out of the knesset,out of government and take away their right to vote. Full citizenship should come after serving in the I.D.F. only!
4. Yeah, Haneen Zoubi easy scapegoat out of your stupidity !
Salma ,   Palestine   (06.07.10)
Shame on you!! I wonder if Mr. Ben-Ari and others, will hesitate for one moment, if given the chance to save Jews from a bad fate, or to wipe the tears of a Jewish child is afraid of something, wonder if they will hesitate for fear of being accused of treason?!!! Haneen Zoubi went to stand with the children and the people of Gaza, and not with Hamas
5. Zoabi etal
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (06.07.10)
This is where the laws of democracy get exaggerated and out of context. My personal opinion is that any Israeli (holding Israeli citizenship) that travels to enemy lands, talks to the enemy and takes part in an enemy action - like the flotilla "peace" ship to break the embargo on Gaza - should be deported. I put these people in the same boat as Anat Kam, also. How can Knesset members look themselves in the mirror and let these slime be in our Knesset?
6. the fall of democracy
yael ,   TA   (06.07.10)
happens with the cheers and support of short sighted fools. G-d save Israel from itself.
7. Zoabi will remain in the Knesset ?????
Jaacov Baumann   (06.07.10)
What does she have to do to be thrown out ? Kill the PM ? Help me !!!!!!!!!!!! I any other country, Zoabi would be in jail already - together with Tibi and Co ! Why not in Israel ???????'
8. Zoabi and the law.
A Jerusalemite ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (06.07.10)
The law must decide. * IF* the AG decides to press charges, then is the time to consider lifting Zoabi's Knesset immunity. This political rhetoric, by a bigoted rightist is not the way a democratic nation behaves.
9. One mans democracy is another mans
Eric..... ,   Israel...   (06.07.10)
evil.This lady looked for trouble and she found it.The palestian leaders are to blame for for the plight of the palestian people.
10. Political immunity is dangerous
Seth Greenberg ,   Raanana, Israel   (06.07.10)
Regardless of whether an MK is an Arab, a Jew or otherwise, immunity means they can break their country's laws with impunity. When Moshe Rabbeinu hit the stone - a seemingly minor slip - his punishment was death. The lesson is that our leaders need to be held to an even higher scrutiny than regular citizens. Otherwise, they serve as role models for the rest of us. If they can get away with it, so can we. Right? Eliminate MK immunity. It is unethical and damages Israeli society.
11. Dreyfus Law
voldemar ,   Tel-Aviv@Israel   (06.07.10)
The sitiuation strkingly resemles the Affaire Dreyfus.
12. it's sedition - throw her out
proud to be Israeli ,   Israel   (06.07.10)
She should be stripped of being an MK and have her passport revoked. In any other country it's called SEDITION. Then let her become an official part of the Hamas organization which is where she belongs. She is guilty of sedition. And in case anyone needs to know it a roadblock is perfectly legal. And any country has the right to defend itself against terrorist attacks. And guess what - it wasn't a humanitarian mission - it was a terrorist mission. And to date the Hamas has still not let the goods to enter Gaza. So much for them struggling. It's all crap.
13. treason= death sentence
(06.07.10)
14. Finally, the liberal democratic state of Israel is defending
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (06.07.10)
itself from those who wish to eliminate it while using the privileges it provide them, Ms. Zuabi included.
15. Israeli democracy is weak
Israeli   (06.07.10)
we claim to be a true democracy but these sort of political/emotional stunts are destructive to democracy. If she broke the law, charge her. If not, stop threatening.
16. to #4 that wasn't bad fate, that was
ghostq   (06.07.10)
contacting HHI, you know the best friends of Al Qaeda and Hamas. she should respect the state she lives aka Israel or otherwise get out. In other states she probably would have face even worse conditions.
17. to #8 democracy got nothing to do with
ghostq   (06.07.10)
the MK connection with world terror org, she knew they were carry weapons, she even interviewd protecting the people who carried molotovs in boat that have children on board, sound like she is guilty of contacting terror org and also protecting someone who might hurt other people children. so in other words put her in jail.
18. to #11 lol dryfus never had law.
ghostq   (06.07.10)
and as for him all the evidences pointing on someone else, how ever n this case she even gave interview live so evidence of HHI terror org support which makes her accomplice. :) plain simple and very democratic.
19. I wonder..........
(06.07.10)
I wonder if all this is happening to her is because she is suspected of being Chraidy
20. Zoabi
Alfred Inselberg ,   Raanana, Israel   (06.07.10)
A Knesset member must above all be a loyal citizen of Israel. Zoabi and other Arab MKs clearly state that they are not. This is the Knesset of the ONLY Jewish State in the world. They can go to any of the 22 Arab countries to practice their Arab "democratic, non-racist" (??!!) values. They have no place in the Knesset and should be stripped of Israeli citizenship. Not only their disloyalty is disgusting, but so is their behavior and disrespect for the Knesset and the country which gave them this opportunity. OUT!
21. to #15 if? she brok the law, you see
ghostq   (06.07.10)
she met people whom aim like HHI is to intentional weapon confrontation, from forensic evidences they had also guns on board, but the turks throw them over board. she is acccoplice for terror support. it's not if it's for sure.
22. Would you like some treason with your terrorism 'Mam?
David ,   Sydney Australia   (06.07.10)
23. zoabi's rights
moron ,   galut   (06.07.10)
give her back jordanian citizenship and deport her to arab palestine on ship thru blocade if necessary
24. Zoabi.
Peter ,   uk   (06.07.10)
How dare she stand up and talk against Israel. She should go and live in Iran with her friends.
25. PENALTY FOR TREASON
MO ,   Israel   (06.07.10)
26. What amazes me is that the amendment to the election law....
Brian ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (06.07.10)
added specifically to make the Kach party illegal has never been used to make any of these Arab parties illegal, when they are all in direct violation of this amendment. What is the argument? According to this amendment they should never have been allowed to even be in the government in the first place! A candidates list shall not participate in elections to the Knesset if its objects or actions, expressly or by implication, include one of the following: 1. negation of the existence of the State of Israel as the state of the Jewish people; 2. negation of the democratic character of the State 3. incitement to racism This is obvious, so what is the argument? Whoever is responsible for allowing these parties in our government should also be removed.
27. That's all??????
Dana Rothschild ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (06.07.10)
she has to be thrown out of Knesset!!!! and all other Arab Knesset member must decide if they represent the interests of Israeli Arabs or they represent the interests of Hamas and Hizballah....
28. ALL THOSE AGAINST THIS ARE LEFTIST MARXIST PIGS!
LONG LIVE ISRAEL   (06.07.10)
LONG LIVE ISRAEL - A DEMOCRACY THAT DEFENDS ITSELF FROM FOERIGN AND DOMESTIC ENEMIES!
29. #8 "bigoted rightest"???
M Carr ,   Baltimore   (06.07.10)
I am somewhat put off by the lefts tendancy to label someone a "bigot" in the midst of a heated debate. It is happening right now in America over the recently passed Arizona immigration law. I happen to be black and I agree with the law. Does that make me a bigot also? In America, it is against the law to willingly provide aid and comfort to an enemy. This is clearly what Zoabi has done. I fail to see the bigotry in that.
30. Israel will fall
chris ,   saudi arabia   (06.07.10)
Those of you who denies justice will fall., i expect it will happen to israel.,
