1. Proof
Abraham Nachmias ,   Petach Tikva IL   (07.21.11)
This proves the level Israel's Supreme Court has. Any stupid complain is received, even a complain based on Tibi's desire that Israelis should cry the day of our independence. Somebody should explain him that he may have rights, but he is biting the hand that feeds him, he was educated in Israel because we are a democracy, he gets a salary not for defending arabs but for attacking Israel, what else does he want? If it was up to me I would expel him from the country!
2. Time to change the High Court.
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (07.21.11)
All the justices should be replaced by candidates nominated by the PM & confirmed by the Knesset.
3. The Nakba was caused by Arabs against Arabs
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & NY   (07.21.11)
The truth is that the Nakba was not Israeli caused and between the Arab refusal of a state in 1948 and the Arab recommendation that Arabs leave Israel until after the war was their own mistake. And now the ones that told their brothers to leave have kept them in ghettos and camps for over 60 years. Is this really the truth he wants exposed?
4. #1 the Supreme Court has to receive to any petition offered
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & NY   (07.21.11)
The Supreme Court has to receive to any petition brought before it, it does not have to actually accept it or hold sessions towards a ruling on it. Tibi has the right to ask them to listen to him, they have the right to tell him NO
5. Let them debate...
Deebo_ ,   Holon   (07.21.11)
Make sure they raise the issue of the ethnic cleansing of Jews from all Arab nations, which occurred at the same time. Us Jews mark the Holocaust every year, but we don't do it by starting riots and attempting to breach Germany's borders. There's a right way and wrong way.
6. Nakba decision
Samuel ,   Israel   (07.21.11)
Can Mr. Tibi accept that S,Arabia, Iraq,Iran Egypt,Jordan,Libya,Syria,Etc.,etc,etc.,not called muslim/Arab countries?He can very well leave ISRAEL and go to maybe Pakistan?He can then live peacefully ever after.
7. Meaning of Nakba
The Philosopher ,   TLV   (07.21.11)
Well, Nakba means catastrophe and the invention of the philistinyans by Arafat in 1964 was indeed one.
8. A Nakba a day keeps terror at bay
Jo ,   Karmiel   (07.21.11)
Eat your heart out, Tibi!!
9. Take the cost of this petition from Tibi's salary.
Rebecca ,   Modiin   (07.21.11)
10. #4;Eric, THANKS
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (07.21.11)
Thanks for the clarification, and it makes sense. Our supreme courts gets all kinds of cases and many are simply refused. this si just the Arabs using democracy to hurt democracy. The funny thing is many Arabs when given a choice to live under Arab rule or Israeli rule choose Israeli. That speaks volumes. Just look at Gaza, see what sort of freedoms they have, none. Your killed for simply speaking or writing against the government. But in Israel they can speak against the government and it's tolerated. In Gaza your killed for singing at a wedding, nice.
11. If the pals are so offended, move.
Bad assed Jew. ,   United States   (07.21.11)
The entire land of Israel belongs to Israel. This monkey should either 1- return to Jordan or, 2- go back to the cage in the zoo that keeps him. Victory for Israel means this a hole has the limited right to protest, I say limited for the pals can cry all they want outside of the Knesset. We won, you lost, move on and learn to live with it, losers.
12. Oh please
Vlad   (07.21.11)
Even if the bill was voted on, any preschooler would know that everyone except 10 Arab MKs would vote against it.
