31. Haaretz' Hypocrisy too!
Stephen ,   New York   (02.26.11)
all the above comments on the hypocrisy of Arab MKs are spot on... but while we're at it, let's not forget the Haaretz Editorial of April 30, 2010 entitled "Arab MKs' Libya trip a Path to Mideast Peace" with the subhead "Rather than pillory Arab MKs, Israel should encourage them to build more bridges with Arab states." You're got to read the whole piece, and surely you'll gasp at the continued blindness of Israel's left, which is part of the mindset which tolerates the seditious anti-Israel behavior of Israel's Arab MKs.
32. MKs should move to Libya
Rosie   (02.26.11)
These MKs are a disgrace. There is no country in this world that would allow these traitors to be part of their parliment. Israel must wakeup. These people are traitors to their own people and to the State of Israel. If they would do such a thing in Libya they would long be at room temparture. I hope that their actions will be a wakeup call for the the radical leftists in Israel.
33. # Tibi and all the arab mk
Texan   (02.26.11)

Three CHEERS for the great Nation .Israel.....
34. Tibi
Dan   (02.26.11)
What does anybody expect from the person who was the political advisor to a terrorist leader? You remember? His name was ARAFAT! And Tibi was his advisor!!!
35. we won't visit
debbie ,   israel   (02.25.11)
What a laugh, what a joke! They won't visit endorse any more Arab leaders who are war criminals? I guess they won't be any endorsing any time soon. I can't think of a single muslem leader who is not robbing their own people blind, murdering them, and stuffing money in their own bank accounts. They could not care less about their people, whether they eat, live or die. Name me one Arab leader, who is concerned with the well being of his own citizens, and I will retract my statement.
36. Too bad they did not do us all a favor
jason white ,   afula, israel   (02.26.11)
and stay in libya. How can they meet with abu abb-ass, he too is a war criminal!
37. Nice Back Peddling your just LIARS
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (02.26.11)
Oh now listen to them back track , what a bunch of crap. Gaddafi gave them money, they went there and thought he was a great guy. Or they knew the truth, and lied to everybody just to get his cash handouts. Either way, they're scum. That's what the Pals do, run around begging everybody for money. Instead of doing anything to create jobs at home. Another example how the Arab leaders in the disputed land either are poor judges of charterer or simply liars. The fact is dignitaries who met him in the 1980's, knew he was nuts then. But the Pals, heck they'll take money from any source, even a madman who kills his own people. But then again that's no different than Hamas is it? He\y Ynet, print all the good stuff these people stated about Gaddafi, just last year. So we can see the liars, lie.
38. The corridors are dark gentlemen
Ypip ,   Canada   (02.26.11)
but you mustn't be afraid...I'm with you.
39. I wouldn't be that bigmouthed
max ,   vienna   (02.26.11)
like most of the posters here who are lashing out on these arab MKs. The socalled "first world countries", including Israel, never hesitated to cooperate with the most repressive regimes if the saw some benefits for them. For example - the Schah of Iran, who tortured tens of thousends of his opponents to death - also a good friend of Israel. Or the "famous" butcher of Africa - Idi Amin Dada - for a long time fondled by the israeli governement. It seems like longtime memory is perfect but shorttime memory doesn't exist.
40. HANIN ZUABI
(02.26.11)
it is very interesting madam what you claim, "we didn't have personal contact with ghadafi" well, juts take a good look at the picture in this article. COULD THAT BE YOU, MS. ZUABI, SHOULDER TO SHOULDER WITH MR. GHADAFI, THE DICTATOR KILLER? zuabi goes on to sat that, "THEY DENIED US ANY CONTACT WITH THE MAN HIMSELF" (MEANING GHADAFI HIMSELF). MADAME, CAN'T YOU SEE YOURSELF IN THE ABOVE PICTURE RIGHT NEXT TO GHADAFI????? liar. you also took part in the terrorist mission of the mavi marmara, knowing full well the composition of those on board. a lot of scum terrorists from turkey and the arab world shouting allah hu akbar. having metal rods, knives, metal chains which they attacked the israeli naval forces with...maybe you didn't hear or see this as well? how pathetic of you. you do not deserve to be in a government posiiton. you deserve to be home. but you can't even find a husband, can you?
41. a lesson for Arab MK's
Michael ,   Haifa   (02.26.11)
Maybe they should devote more effort to furthering the economic and civil rights of their constituents in Israel rather than playing "regional politics". It seems that the "people" and their welfare are not the major item on their political agenda. Maybe Israeli Arabs should think twice before casting their votes for political opportunists who don't really represent their interests.
42. Sara B #3
jo moor   (02.26.11)
You are so right! This bandwagon that the Arab MKs jumped on hit a BIIIG pothole. The axel broke and the oxen (asses?) on the bandwagon were sent flying! Looks like they chose the wrong bandwagon. Tsk tsk tsk
43. The " King of Kings "(arabs love Pompous titles)
jo   (02.26.11)
turns out to be just another cheap imitation of muhammad ; vicious, obnoxious, blood thirsty. A bunch of idiots getting a free ride in order to visit this forsaken country sinking under the weight of a demented islamic thug's iron fist named Gaddafi, and returned with mostly with positive impressions ??.No surprises so far. Of course when one takes a look at the delegation, and listen to the comments of a Hanin Zoabi, one becomes aware that our arab/ israeli MK's are second to none, and that Medinat Israel is well served. Now, our glorious delegation vows no longer to endorse any other war criminal. Does it mean that they cannot visit any country in the Middle East IE:Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Saudia. Qatar, Sudan, Afghanistan, Iran,Bahrain ??.With little choices, they will come to realise that there is nothing like home; Warm, cosy, hospitable, peaceful --- Israel
44. there will be a Libya without Gadhafi
Salma ,   Palestine   (02.26.11)
And Palestine without occupation, Spring approaching, more and more : )
45. Ghadaffi reminds me of...
manicdrummer ,   Madison, WI, USA   (02.26.11)
...the quintessential American trucker, who'd rip your face off if he thought you were going to steal the naked lady mud flaps off his 18-wheeler.
46. Hi Salma, tell me what are
Yossef   (02.26.11)
the borders of your "Palestine" ?
47. To: No. 44
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.26.11)
And an Israel without you, inch'Allah
48. 47
JUDAH THE LION   (02.26.11)
Sarah,in future do not say inch'Allah. allah is the muslims god.allah is pagan god, god of the moon.In future say B"H. Regards JUDAH THE LION
49. #17 - Speaking of inmates...
William ,   Israel   (02.27.11)
what will become of the thousands of Black Africans from central Africa who traverse the Libyan desert each day to reach Europe, but are usually caught by Gadaffi's forces and thrown in prison without a trial nor contact with outside world? In Libya, there are countless innocents languishing in prisons there, and the UN or Amnesty Intl has never addressed this.
50. #8 only one way to find out
William ,   Israel   (02.27.11)
Let's set up a flotilla to help the Libyans and have all of Gaddafi's Arab supporters like TIbi and Zoabi (she LOVES flotillas) join. They can deliver the expired medicines and food products that Gazans rejected from the last flotillas.
51. #22 - now THAT would be real Hasbara
William ,   Israel   (02.27.11)
We need a grass-roots activist group to push forward the true Israeli narrative and uncover the filth we're dealing with, which the State is unwilling to do themselves. Just like the Arabs in Libya....take it to the streets. Publish these pictures and their words everywhere, find secrets and publish them to Wikileaks, undermine the new dictators who abuse Arabs while sucking at the Jewish teet.
52. Judah, I'm sorry but you are wrong
Yossef   (02.27.11)
אלה is just אל, our god too. BTW I was in Munchen Airport last week and I prayed in the mosque/synagogue (prayer room) shoulder to shoulder with a muslim (well, metaphorically), nothing weird. Actually I enjoyed even more the prayer.
53. Haha - last year he was an "Arab warrior"...
William ,   Israel   (02.27.11)
this year he's a "dictator". Funny how Arab loyalty changes with each incident of flatulence coming from the Peninsula. A sign that peace among Arabs is not in their future. Israeli Arab MKs rush to save face after endorsing a dictator who murdered his own people. Hmmm, whom else did these politicians support who murdered their own people? -- Arafat -- Saddam -- Nasrallah -- Assad
54. The Pals love to stretch the truth to the breaking point
Abraham ben Jacob ,   Canada   (02.27.11)
Don't be surprised if Tibi and the others come out and say that it was not really them in the pictures with Gadafi. It must have been " our twins " potographed with Gadfly, not us. Or maybe it was just inposters who resembled Tibi and the others. The last straw would be to say that their photos were doctored or photo-shopped.
55. Truth!!!!
jan ,   Jerusalem,Israel   (02.28.11)
Why would anyone expect a group of people, who have made up the "truth" as they go along since the Turks ruled, would know it if they saw it?
