ghostq   (06.07.10)
he cry too many time wolf might as well make it reall, he provoked to many times the Israeli system on jews expence who gives him his pay check, I do admit it's extreme but not surprising.

tom ,   tel aviv   (06.07.10)
not that I expect you to print this but: It's about time! Just some poor citizen venting his well deserved frustrations, our own "Gandi" now, THAT's another story, right?
3. He's a traitor and was at Arafat's service for a long time

5. They are trampling on the fundamentals of Democracy
Tatyana ,   brooklyn, USA   (06.07.10)
As opposed to you what you arabs in the knesset do, which is abuse democracy? The things that come out of arabs mouths are just so amusing.
6. Ironic
Uzziel   (06.07.10)
Arabs suddenly realise what is like living in a lynch atmosphere and how bad it is only when they are the "victims". They were fine with the Ramallah and Shfaram lynches among many others pretending to be "men". Time to get rid of them.
7. Is anyone suprised?
Brian ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (06.07.10)
and he still keeps it going, and everything he is accusing is what he is guilty of
8. Probably the first time I agree with Tibi
Israeli   (06.07.10)
This is dangerous and the right has to speak out against this. They are fueling the hatred of Arabs.
9. MK Tibi recieves deat threats
marianne ,   ramat hasharon   (06.07.10)
Please can I get his phone number????
10. HYPOCRITE.
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (06.07.10)
These people don't belong in the Knesset, they don't even belong in the country. Forget political correctness, BS liberal rhetoric, all the usual excuses & rationalizations. These people are our ENEMIES. And, while it's stupid to send death threats & insults, leaving them in the Knesset is even more stupid.
11. #10 - Terry, Glad to see you...
Joe ,   Ramat Gan   (06.07.10)
... where have you been?
12. nothing he doesn't deserve along with the other arab traior
izzie irgun ,   zion   (06.07.10)
poor tibi, whinning about his lack of freedom and getting death threats .... so who cares. the arabs mks have abused their status and used their positions to attack the state. Imagine a US politican standing with al quida and comdemong the US. And for a doctor to say that he decries the loss fo freedom and wants palestinian rule while the areas that palestinians rule have no freedom of speech is quite remarkable. he is just another arab anti semite abusing his freedom. things right now are getting real bad for israel. all of the trerror states are joining together under that the leadership of that reliable nato member, turkey ... the haters now have a platform to attack israel and get the UN to do their dirty work. this is all because obama gave them them the green light. Any day now someone will miscalulate as israel did and the region will go up in flames. Obama will then sit there like an idiot decrying violance and trying to rein in israel. But at that point its game over .. someone could get nuked here especially if their if there is confrontation between iran and israel. Might as well get the big shoot out over with ... bring it on.
13. Tibi
Birdi ,   Israel   (06.07.10)
Kudos to the person who sent the fax & voice mail.
14. A 'Man Bites Dog' Story
Frankie Littlehammer ,   New Herstal, TX, US   (06.07.10)
When a dog bites a man, it's not news, it happens all the time, no newspaper is going to report it - but when a man bites a dog, that's something out of the ordinary, that's newsworthy.
15. let's face it...
OZ   (06.07.10)
our democracy simply doesn't work... for"" our"" arab mks... they can't abuse the very rights given to them by the state , and than turn around and question the state's legitimacy in public. if they wish to continue to spew their venom against israel, they sohuld not be alllowed to do so as mks. simple and done with.
16. Me too
andre lajst ,   tel aviv   (06.07.10)
I also got live threats from hamas, hezbollah and many terrorist throughout those years. I also want a public attention on that. What MK time has to say that those people want to kill me, just for being jew, and israeli.
17. Traitor in Knesset is threatened!
Spencer ,   Israel   (06.07.10)
The way this traitorour member of the Knesset speaks about Israel, the Country in whose Parliament he sits and the way he backs all the emenies of the State of israel, what does he expect.....LOVE LETTERS? He shoudl be thrown out of the Knesset and charged with sedition. The fact that these traitors sit in our Knesset is carrying democracy overboard.
18. fatal pathway
montasser ,   gaza   (06.07.10)
Be careful!! Such threats against arab members of the knesset will ignite the explosive anger of millions of suppporters allover the world . Does the israeli population also lost their minds?!. Any how we the palestinian are very pleased to discover the real face of zionist fanatism . But inspite of all israeli severe oppression during the last 62 years, we will be very pleased to hear that israeli leaders have decided to make a U turn in their fatal pathway .
19. tibi
Shalom ,   U.S.A / Israel   (06.07.10)
Tibi It is about time , do you want our government to protect you know , you working for the Israeli government and you are treader , you deserved what coming to you......
20. NO #8 the Arabs did it themselves.
Brian ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (06.07.10)
Flying enemy flags, defacing and destroying everything, throwing stones, assaulting, stabbing, SEXUALLY ASSAULTING OUR WOMEN, boycotting, striking, using the jobs they have to take heavy machinery and attack people, voting for parties that are openly not just calling for put always working towards our destruction, constant propaganda, hatred and lies, where did they think it would all lead!?!?!?!? WHERE ARE THE VOICES OF ISRAELI ARABS AGAINST THESE THINGS????? Oh well, YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW!!!!!!! AND ALL THEIR BUDDIES IN THE LEFT EGGED THEM ON!!!!!!! Enough is enough, it's all been very one sided till now, as always they took our kindness for weakness. OOPS!!!!!!!
21. TIBI OR NOT TIBI... HMMM....
stude ham   (06.07.10)
22. Good chance he sends them HIMSELF!!
tanya ,   tel aviv israel   (06.07.10)
23. Threats must have been made by some of the posters on here
Giora Me'ir ,   USA   (06.07.10)
Same tone. Same hate.
24. Death threats
London man ,   London   (06.07.10)
It is disgusting. It's disgusting to read that a member of the Knesset receives death threats for his opinions. It's disgusting also to read the comments. Is Israel really such a special place that its Jewish citizens and supporters feel that sending death threats to an elected representative is just fine and dandy? It's disgusting that those commenting do not realise the utter degraded nature of their comments. However, I must add that the comments do more to aid the Palestinian cause than any amount of Palestinian public relations. The simple reason is that any sane person reading this article and then the comments after it will see, clearly and plainly, that the Zionist project's attitudes towards freedom of speech and ethnic minorities is about on a par with Stalin's. Indeed, I now see: get elected to the Knesset, say things in Parliament, get death threats. What a great democratic spirit you are all showing.
25. Not surprising
David   (06.07.10)
This is not a surprise, Israel is a very racist country and there is deep hatred for the Arab sector here. Things have gotten much worse ever since Lieberman rose to power and began a campaign of incitement against Arab citizens of Israel.
26. MK Tibi
Bruria   (06.07.10)
MK Tibi and others have used the freedoms they enjoy here to attack the very system they live off of. But it is now our fault for allowing traitors to exist in our government. Do the correct thing--Remove them from office and ship them to Gaza (No Pensions!) Now let them enjoy the freedoms of the Hamas they so love.
27. Seditionist
Scott ,   Haifa   (06.07.10)
The stirring up of discontent, resistance, or rebellion against the government in power... In America in my father's day when America was great, treason was punishable by death...no tears were shed.
28. Revolting
david ,   Royal Oak, Michigan   (06.07.10)
It is incredible to find talkbackers justifying these threats. To disagree is one matter; to countenance racist threats is a sad testimony of the racism that apparently runs deep into the threads of Israeli society.
29. Advice for Tibi
Berl ,   formely of Seattle   (06.07.10)
don't like it here? Don't feel safe here? LEAVE! GO TO GAZA! GO TO TURKEY! GO TO SAUDI ARABIA! GO TO IRAN! Just hit the road Jack and donchu come back no more no more no more Hit the road Jack and donchu come back no more
30. #24
JohnB ,   Londonistan   (06.07.10)
Yes i agree its digusting its veyr disgusting that people from an enemy entity can sit in a free democratic elected parliament and on the same time working for this arab entity called GAZA!
