1. arab loyalty
marcel   (10.22.11)
zoabi and sana enjoyed kaddafi's hospitality and said nice things when inhis company. Now that he is gone, they say good riddance. This is your classic arab loyalty. So liberman's loylaty oath with teeth makes sense because you have to beat loyalty into them as it is unatural to them. zoabi has been cavorting with IHH of turkey, with the gazans, with all of israel's enemies. Free speech is one thing, sedition is another. UN resoltuions historically called for an israel homeland in the mandate without preducing locals' rights. it didn't call for an arab land as there were already 22 arab countries on top of the fact that the mandated land was ancestral israel with arab and turkish interlopers possessing it after many jews left without creating a state of their own. it is clear that arab israelis who are not loyal to the state need to have their citizenship withdrawn and be moved to other countries. in the meantime, before lieberman or feiglin take power, cause its a matter of time before bibi and barak will be booted out, it would be a good idea for the arab israelis to packup and get the hell out as things will get rougher.
2. Seems like everyone that met and shook
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (10.22.11)
Gaddafi's hand, had plenty of bad will against him suddenly after his "downfall". I am glad I never met him, so that I can say from the beginning the truth - a mad dog.
3. Congratulations!!! Haniin Zoabi
Samuel ,   Israel   (10.22.11)
Rather suprising for once talking sense.She aways pounces on Israel for any declarerations.Hope (G-d willing) she continues the same way.israel will sure be proud to have her in the Knesset.Felicitations! keep up the good work.
4. make a giant billboard and send it to the rebels in libya
rachel ,   usa   (10.22.11)
5. Hypocrites
Abdel Karim Salim ,   Jerusalem   (10.22.11)
What a bunch of hypocrites especially Hanin Zoabi who all the time plays the game of a nationalistic Palestinian. She should have been wise & courageous enough to openly critisize,or at least make her position clear about the murderous lunatic of Libya long before he was overthrown and killed . But just like any other multi-faced hypocrite in the world she occasionally adjusts her political position in accordance with the developments worldwide.Is there anyone left impressed or deceived by her ?
6. Plenty of other mass-murdering repressive dictators left
Danny   (10.22.11)
for them to suck up to
7. Zahalka appeared on Channel 2's morning show yesterday...
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (10.22.11)
and said "Israel is next". Cute little Dafna Liel retorted to his face : "I hope not, at least not like that". Zahalka had no choice, but to keep his mouth shut....unusual in itself.
8. 18 months
Uzziel   (10.22.11)
Since the arab Knesset members visited Gaddafi and you still want a sign from a people that can not have gratitude even for 18 minutes?
9. Big mouth now he is dead.
Edu ,   KH - HAIFA   (10.22.11)
10. Let's say 1000 Arab countries
Dave ,   Washington dc   (10.22.11)
Even if there are 1000 Arab countries that doesn't mean Palestinian Arabs Muslims and Christians has to leave their country and their land for other people that came from Europe and Russia just because they claim that G-d give them this land 3000 years ago.
11. Are they serious?
Michael ,   West Jerusalem   (10.22.11)
For the exception of one or two Arab MKs. All of them are such hypocrites. They just don't wanna seem like the bad guy in this situation even though they are.
12. Abbas dictatorship coming to an end?
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (10.22.11)
Or do we think the Pallies will have elections before the end of the 21st century?
13. Now exile Zoabi and her "people" back to gaza
David ,   Haifa Israel   (10.22.11)
14. to #10, You are right except
Andi ,   Israel   (10.22.11)
that's not the reason some left their homes, and why others stayed and are staying, enjoying Israel's democracy and freedom.
15. MADAM MK HANIN ZOABI IS RIGHT IN THAT CASE, I THOUGHT/THINK.
SJOERD RUURD VAN DER ,   MULTIVERSE   (10.22.11)
16. The true face of the so called "Israeli Arabs Leaders" is
Urdun ,   R-G-G   (10.22.11)
well known. Some of them are members of the Knesset (The Israeli Parliament), some of them are religious leaders of sort, some of them are with criminal background that repent and all of them have the common of calling themselves "Israeli Arabs Leaders" while insisting on their Jew hate that bring them huge money incomes. They will all praise any Arab leader as long that he's in power, as long that he's against the Jews, as long that he's against the state of Israel and as long as he's funnelling huge amounts of money to them. They will all turn their back on same leader as he's with spite with his people but not one minute before same leader fled from his country or died as not to rule out the option that he'll stay in power. One can see how they refer to Assad of Syria now and compare it to how they'll behave after he's gone - same as with Gaddafi.
17. #10 Arabs told them to leave, Jews didn't
michael redbourn ,   Arad Israel   (10.22.11)
The Arabs have a freer life here than in any Arab country. And I'm talking about the people and not the leaders.
18. Same Arab MKs who only last year honored Ghaddafi?
William ,   Israel   (10.23.11)
These are the same Arab MKs who visited Ghaddafi, and together bad-mouthed Israel, and told Ghaddafi he was an honorable Arab. Suddenly, they distanced themselves from Ghaddafi when the civil war began in Libya and now announce their pleasure his era is gone. Say what?? Ghaddafi wasn't anti-Israel or brutal from January 1, 2011. He was a psycho for 42 years - and despite this, you honored him! Your skin may change, but your rotten internals remain, Arab MKs.
19. #3 - Most Israeli Arabs don't support Arab MKs
William ,   Israel   (10.23.11)
The Arab MKs ignore those in their community and spend most of their time looking for ways to support "Palestinians" and vilify Israel. Israeli Arabs have many times voiced their disgust at Arab MK actions....and you think Israel will be proud to have them in the Knesset? Idiot.
20. #5 - Abdel, Zoabi joined Tibi and Bishara to honor Ghaddafi
William ,   Israel   (10.23.11)
She was there in Libya and shook his hand just like the rest of the Arab MKs. I haven't heard her voice distaste of him until the civil war began.
