1. Strong democracy in Israel
Beary White ,   Norway   (03.12.12)
The democracy in Israel must be strong!!! Having this guy in Knesset is like having a Hells-Angels supporter in the norwegian leftist government. With our current government, leftist israel-haters/US-haters, it would not have been possible....on the opposite site, this leftist goverenment allows representatives to use palestinian headscarf in Stortinget, the main bulding.
2. Tibi
Ezra ,   Florida   (03.12.12)
It is way pas the time tobring the HAMAS REPRESENTATIVES in the Kenesset to trial for treason, . The Tibis and the Zoabis should be stripped of their Israeli citizenship pronto and be kicked out of the country, to say the least.
3. tibi is useful to israel
philip   (03.12.12)
at first glance, his statements are like having hitler in our midst. On the other hand, he has many contacts with arabs outside israel and those can be useful to israel for targeting. any arab talking to israeli about resistance operations will be targetted. so tibi is helping israel. let him keep talking.
4. Tibi is 100 % Correct
A Very Heavy Stone ,   Florida   (03.12.12)
The foreign minister said Iran was the "oxygen" for all terrorist organizations in Gaza firing on Israel and that Israel itself was the 'water' supplying food,concrete,durable goods,cars,water and everything else Hamas needs across the many crossings ,Erez,Kerem-Shalom etc. We are insane,very stupid and suicidal Jews when it comes to keeping our enemies strong, he said.
5. #2: Yep, that would go well in the USA with a....
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (03.12.12)
Citizen of the United States! Have you ever heard of the United States Supreme Court? Israel must stop being holier than thou and the Knesset MUST strip these MK's of their immunity and they must brought up on charges of Treason and if found guilty they must be deported to Gaza and then we can deal with them in an "appropriate" manner!
6. Be Bigger
max ,   istanbul, turkey   (03.12.12)
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. democracy means discomfort at times, or you could act like the ruling party of Turkey and arrest or kick out the parliamentarians you disagree with. Israel be the bigger country!
7. Tibi
Henio ,   Berlin, Germany   (03.12.12)
Tibi, it is so easy to help your brothers in Gaza, just move there. If it is a matter of removal costs, I assure you to cover these.
8. Symmetry
carlos ,   San Diego U.S.A.   (03.12.12)
For symemetry's sake Israel should send 26,000 mortars to gaza. (amount of rockets they heve sent to Israel); gazans wil realize that their territory is dense with population and they have no protection Then Tibi will be very happy. Expell this enemy of Israel.
9. What a chutpah of Tibi.
JJ ,   Israel   (03.12.12)
He sits in our government. Gets a very large salary. Free newspapers, free car, free this and free that. Then runs around to other countries running down Israel. WHAT THE HELL TO WE HAVE HIM IN OUR GOVERNMENT FOR. a TRAITOR.!!
10. Of course gaza will 'pull through'
BH ,   Iowa   (03.12.12)
Israeli taxpayers are burdened with the additional costs of expensive weapons designed to take out the rocket launchers without harming the civilians they are hidden behind. Gaza will certainly land on its feet. And as long as there is no consequence to their aggression they will continue to attack Israeli civilians. Worthless tibi playing the sad victim.
11. Begs the question
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.12.12)
Why doesn't brave and valiant Tibi join his compatriots in Gaza and weather the storm with them?
12. I have never been one to shout & scream "Tibi is a traitor!"
Jake ,   USA   (03.12.12)
...but if this report is factual, there is no question: MK Tibi is a treacherous criminal and must be stopped.
13. If Israeli and "Palestinians" lives are more important
William ,   Israel   (03.12.12)
why is MK Tibi not vocal at all on the massive rockets coming from Gaza, both now and for weeks prior to this attack on the PRC Sec.-General? When "Palestinians" are experiencing pay-back for their war crimes, MK Tibi is concerned. When Israelis are the target of violence, MK Tibi is busy in Ramallah.
14. not a normal country
michel ,   ashkelon   (03.12.12)
In any country of the world ,such a person would be charged for treason and incitement and probably hanged. This country is absolutely impotent.
15. Tibi
Bob ,   New York USA   (03.12.12)
In the US, he's called Ron Paul
16. Of course Gaza will survive
rebecca ,   Modiin   (03.12.12)
Their leaders have run to Egypt or are hidden in bunkers built with the cement we have allowed in for the EU to build homes. And their people are just "battle fodder" to their leaders and to people like Tibi, and there are enough of them for this to continue.
17. To: No. 6
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.12.12)
Easy for you to say. You're sounding like the United Nations, the European Union and just about everybody else -- Israel should just ignore the 140 missiles that have been fired at its civilian communities in the past 72 hours, and should demonstrate patience and forebearance. Not a word of criticism for the ersatz "Palestinians" who are firing the missiles, though. Is it any wonder that it is difficult for Israel to take the international community seriously? Finally -- no matter how tolerant a democracy may be (and Israel is tolerant to a fault), there is no room in a democracy for traitors. Tibi long ago crossed the line.
18. Tibi should be in jail for treason
Shalom Freedman ,   Jerusalem Israel   (03.12.12)
Danon is right. Tibi has crossed every red line. Giving aid and comfort to the enemy in this way is treason. What kind of wimps are the police and judiciary system in Israel that they continually allow him to get away with this?
19. It makes one sick!
Jeff ,   S.A. USA   (03.12.12)
This behavior is unbelievable, this is not democracy it’s IDIOTY! Suicidal! It makes one sick!
20. Tibi >TRAITOR ! Zoabi (zanabi) TRAITOR
meghan ,   Israel   (03.12.12)
In Gaza you are heroes, so why not go and live there..weather the storm with your terrorist friends. Wake up Israel...throw them out!!!
21. Tibi and his Ilk
Moragh   (03.12.12)
Ilk meaning that creature Zubiri (?) Just take one look at their mouths, how they pucker their lips, that alone tells a thousand stories. Someone please tell me..... what are those arabs doing in the Israeli Knesset. I'm assuming they are arabs of some sort. Why, in the name of goodness is Israel harboring these dangerous mouthed people????? Out and away with them! Or Israel continues to aask for trouble and gets it full on the face. Tsi tsi tsi!
22. my 5 year old grandson...
Rob ,   Orangevale U.S.A.   (03.12.12)
asked me the other day about Israel. Out of the blue he just says, 'my teacher is mad at Israel'. He says alot of things, and as a grandfather, I usually smile and say some sanguine thing like, ok, good. This time I asked him, 'what do you know about Israel?' He says 'its the place that always fights'. I asked him who told him this? I wanted to be sure he was thinking about it, because I was already turning red with anger. 'My teacher'. Plain and simple. Ok buddy, I say. 'No more about that for today'. He went about his merry 5 year old way. I went another way. 'Mrs,--------' I said, My grandson has told me you are discussing issues pertaining to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. 'Oh no', she reply's. Really? I ask. So my 5 year old grandson came out of the blue, asks me about Israel, comments that it is the place that 'always fights', and then says he heard it from you. Ok fine. A quick phone call to my daughter brings him to the school. Like lightning, she runs up to him and says' I never said anything about Israel.' I dont know if you have ever witnessed a young boy see a grown person lie, a person very important to his upbringing, but I now have. It made me even madder.He simply say's, 'yes you did.' It turns out she is a person with family in the Gaza strip. I learned this only after sending the boy and my daughter back home and demanded a meeting with the principal of her school. I asked about the wisdom of off-the-cuff remarks such as hers, and the principal says very clearly that that is forbidden given the multicultural orientation of our schools. I, point blank, asked that woman again if she said what my grandson said she did. Again, she lied to my face. This woman no longer works at that school. It took me to go there, ask a few questions, and have that woman fired. It turns she said alot harsher things than my g-son said she did, this after having more Jewish parents invited into the matter. I cant believe it to this hour. It's very important to hear the very young if we are ever going to end this crap . MK Tibi IS a threat to young Israeli's, and the ability to see things clearly for themselves. You must weed out those that do more harm to the situation, and MK Tibi fits that description to the "T". Shalom Israel, Rob
23. # 22 unbelievable story! thank you for sharing
jason ,   israel   (03.12.12)
24. I suggest
daniela ,   panana   (03.12.12)
we out Tibi and all his arab Knesset memebrs as human shields in Sderot, Beersheba, Ashod and Shaar Hanegev. Then lets see how well they are appreciated in Gaza. If they are loved by Jihad Islami, then maybe the Grads will stop, if not.. tough luck..
25. send him to gaza where he belongs obviously represents them
ralph   (03.12.12)
26. Gaza weathering the storm
Larry ,   Israel   (03.12.12)
Well all i have to say is ,until now only Palestinans are dying , maybe they should get smart and stop the rockets "!
27. #22 - GOOD ON YOU!!!
William ,   Israel   (03.12.12)
How creepy was this teacher - having to beg a student to not uncover her filthy tirades which poisoned their minds. Not an atypical act by "Palestinians" and their supporters. Good for you on pursuing the issues strongly. This is the sadly the risk with allowing our youth to be taught by rapid liberals who break their own rules.
28. a personal letter to Barak
zionist forever   (03.12.12)
Please, please, please Mr Barak tie Tibi & Zouabi to the next missies you fire at Gaza. if you do I promise I will never say a bad word about you ever again and I will encourage all my friends to vote for you to be the next PM and I will demand that they name streets after you because your such a hero. Please Mr Barak do me this one favour and all your mistakes will be forgiven in the eyes of the public.
29. Tibi
michael shane ,   toronto canada   (03.13.12)
Kick him out of the Knesset. When a Jew has a position in an arab land,that an arab can have one in the Knesset. For right now, he hates Jews and belongs in gaza.PERIOD!
30. #27 I wonder...
Rob ,   Orangevale, U.S.A.   (03.13.12)
I must be honest with you. I have 5 children and 4 grandchildren. My wife and I have put them all thru school, college, or some other form of higher education(our children, the grandchildren are still very young) and have never run into this before. I see and hear liberals BS spouted at campuses ad nauseum. Most college students know in advance what type of political thought they want to espouse, and take it from there. Liberalism has a way of killing itself, so I dont worry much about it. It was the fact that my grandson was so young, and the lengths she, the teacher, went, to espouse her personal hatred. That did surprise me. I am glad to say it is the first time I've run into that, and I did what I thought had to be done. I tried to keep quiet on my personal beliefs and views and stayed instead on this woman's denial of the obvious. You would have done this also. I find no happiness in any of this affair. Shalom, Rob
