1. Oh Please
Rachel ,   US   (02.25.11)
Now they feel and look like a bunch of idiots.
2. "Palestinian" perfidy
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.25.11)
"Muasi says the more time he spent in Libya the more he realized the extent of the gap between the country's abundant resources and the dire state of the citizens who live in abject poverty." Well, that's the tune he's singing now (what with the violent upheaval in Libya). At the time that he returned from his visit, he did not have a single negative thing to say; in fact, he sang Ghaddafi's praises long and loud. That makes him freakishly hypocritical. Truth is not fungible. Something is either true or it is not. What's the real truth? What these Arab MKs said back in 2010, or what they are saying now?
3. Missed this little gem
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.25.11)
"Awadi criticizes some of his colleagues saying 'some of the Arab public figures were being obsequious and treated Gaddafi as the greatest and best leader. I think they should apologize to the Libyan people as they visited their country without meeting the locals and maybe created the impression that Israeli Arabs support Gaddafi's rule.'" Well, I think an apology to the State of Israel is in order for coming back from their little junket singing the praises of Ghaddafi." Or did they wish to dupe the Israeli Arab community as well? If so, why? Never seen anyone backpedal quite so quickly. What does it say for the Arab MKs, who are now going "But, but, but ...." because of what is transpiring in Libya? Nothing good, I wager.
4. I am sure back then Tibi and his ilk were praising Gaddafi
Cynic ,   USA   (02.25.11)
5. Too little, too late
Jewish Warrior   (02.25.11)
6. LOL
PK ,   Hong Kong   (02.25.11)
What more could one say...
7. liars, trying to back pedel, won't fool anybody
ralph   (02.25.11)
they were useful idiots and now do not like having such signs and hats put on them. they are not fools. but tried to fool everybody else, they must be embarrassed, made to confront all the dangerous notions distortions they have presented to the isreali arabs they present themselves as representing and to israel whose honor, integrity and morality they mocked. the immoral, evil ones are they and the arab leaders they acted as fig leafs for.
8. traitors and back stabbers...
JL   (02.25.11)
all of them...snakes in the grass....i wonder how the libyans would greet these scum now...
9. Too Late, Tibi!
Raz ,   Rishlach   (02.25.11)
The photos of you and a monstrous, bloody dictator will forever haunt you and everyone else who went on that "solidarity" trip. Deal with it.
10. they "vow not to endorse any other 'war criminal'"? right.
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (02.25.11)
that pretty much rules out the vast majority of their middle eastern contacts outside israel. it's merely the words of a shamed politician meant for the moment and soon to be discarded.
11. These Arab MKs are a disgrace to Israel, the Knesset
Genuine Moshe   (02.25.11)
their constituency, their Arab brothers and themselves. I would like to see the Arab sector protesting against them, until them I will never give any heed to what the Arab sector has to say.
12. And we are supposed to believe the Arab MKs because....
EST ,   Miami USA   (02.25.11)
they claim to be speaking the truth now??? I think not! They lie through their teeth and spout libels and other lies to suit their needs!!! This time they gotr caught openly fawning over and singing praises to, a murderer!!!
13. However they will keep visiting war criminals Nasrallah.....
(02.25.11)
However they will keep visiting war criminals Nasrallah, Bashar Al Wahsh Assad, Hanyie. What is interesting is that they never whispered a word to anyone at the time of the visit or afterwards, only now that Arab reality is blowing up in their faces exposed for all to see. It would be good to find out what other Arab atrocities these Arab traitors are still covering up.
14. Arab MK's may have to deeply slash their address book
Joe ,   Canada   (02.25.11)
Closer to home, if the Arab Mk's are serious, they should be looking around for known figures they have or are still embarrassingly cozying with be it in the PA, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Venezuela... They may become haunted by archived interviews & pictures of their misplaced friendships.
15. losers
pini   (02.25.11)
She never made contact with him yet she's standing next to him in the photo. Why do the pallys alwas have to try and be in the limelight? "We thought shit was suspcious but we decded to ignore it untill now"

Jorge el judio ,   Israel/USA/Argentina   (02.25.11)

17. That trip was 14 years after Gadaffi killed 1,400 inmates...
Scott ,   USA   (02.25.11)
... of his prisons in one night, burying them in secret graves. Everybody knew what a foul maniac Gadaffi was, the Arab MKs simply didn't care.
18. tibi and arab mk's
(02.25.11)

19. They didn't know who he was??!!!
Reuven Ben-Tal ,   Jerusalem   (02.25.11)
These fascist, racist and anti-Semitic idiots didn't know his background like they didn't know who Mubarak, Assad and King Hussein were? They don't recall what happened in Jordan in 1970, in Syria in 1981 and what the Egyptians have been doing to their Arab brothers in the Land of Israel for decades (from time to time)?
20. Send them to Gadaffi,@#$% Hypocrites
Benorr ,   Haifa Israel   (02.26.11)
What a bunch of low lives,they don't deserve to live in Israel.Shameless people with no integrity,no morals,thick skinned morons.Give them a ONE WAY TICKET to a state run by a dictator of their choice.
21. Miserable Double Crossing Hypocrites
Ron Baxter ,   London UK   (02.26.11)
What a miserable bunch of low lives.They these rubbish people should be thrown into Gaza.
22. That photograph of Ahmad Tibi is the absolute pits
Benorr ,   Haifa Israel   (02.26.11)
Israel should send that picture of Ahmad Tibi and that murderer Gadaffi to every news agency in the world to let the world to see the type of rubbish that Israel has to deal with.Tibi should have his Israeli citizenship revoked.
23. Don't worry there will be no soul searching or lesson learne
ron ,   Melbourne, Australia   (02.26.11)
Come on "they were surprised" - Really!! - are these same people who know how to analyze every situation and apportion blame ,etc - I WAS SURPRISED that have not managed to come with any more innovative reason then the usual - i did not known, and yes, there were signs ,etc .... obviously being the longest serving leader in the world and with a dynasty afoot, and with very worrying signs of income distribution ,political rights, etc - how could there have known - I mean if it looks, smells and feels like a totalitarian regime and if there are dissidents fleeing forever and wars supported around, etc - I could not tell if I am an Arab MK - there is just not sufficient information. After all any ills can only be the west. Arabs do not have dictatorships, discriminations, etc ,etc - Really try and come up with a better excuse. If you like for a $10,000 a day I am happy to be a copy rights -no experience but I doubt I would come up with as stupid a statements as they made.
24. Zoabi and the legal system.
Jules   (02.26.11)
Haneen Zoabi participated in planned attack against the IDF soldiers during the "flotilla" incident. That's a despicable crime, nothing short of treason. The legal system is so busy with Avigdor Lieberman that it doesn't have time (or maybe a desire ?) to handle the true enemy. Have we heard a single word from the Attorney General about Zoabi's deeds ? And where is the High Court ?
25. Just : no comments LOL :-))
Yossef   (02.26.11)
26. Why Arab MKs persistently prefer provocations over advancing
Nahum Korda ,   Ein Ziwan, Israel   (02.26.11)
interests of their own constituency? What could possibly such perversity as their visit to an insane dictator achieve? How could the Israeli Arabs that they represent benefit from it? What could possibly be the contribution of this visit to the Arab-Israeli peace?
27. Only last year they ascended to the Dictator in order to bow
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (02.26.11)
down before him and kiss his hands in appreciation for his consistent and persistent calls to wipe Israel off the face of earth and with it its nearly six million Jews. Shame on you, they who benefit from all that the nation-state of the Jewish people, Israel, has to offer, and still are loyal to those whose eagerness to harm the Jews in the most cruel way. Shame on you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
28. HUH?!?!?!?
Dan ,   New York, USA   (02.26.11)
They're JUST finding out this guy is a tyrannical nut job? They're JUST realizing that there are worse governments in the Middle East than Israel???? They were so busy finding fault with Israel they couldn't see how hated and hate-able Arab leaders are and how they were used by them to deflect attention from their horrible reign.
29. These innocent soouls never knew the Lockerbie plane crash
Joe ,   Canada   (02.26.11)
30. So they won't meet with any Arab leaders?
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (02.26.11)
Since all of the them are war-criminals. Some how I do not believe them.
