Jews of europe obtained "prestigious" positions in europe because they were far and away the most talented and qualified, certainly not because the eurotrash weren't racist. Israel being a democracy and not racist is the reason why arabs, (zoabi) can rise above tents, burkas, and camels

Those arabs, who proved to be the enemies of the State of Israel must be excluded to be elected knesset members and even voters. Nr 1 this palestinian viper ( Vipera palestinensis )

MK Zoabi should keep things in perspective. There are very few countries in the world, and especially the Arab region, where someone with such treasonous views would be allowed a platform to vent such toxic nonsense in the national parliament. Also, Bibi looks nothing like Benito Mussolini. (:

Those Jews who succeeded in obtaining prestigious positions gave Europe so much that their achievements is impossible to recount. Lets talk about the fate of the German Jews: secular scientists. doctors, musicians, & artists who had to run away out of Europe (not just Germany) during Nazi reign, and who were murdered by hundreds of thousands. So much for your statement for " Europe was neither racist nor fasist". What did MK Zoabi achieved as representative of Arabic minority for her voters?- Nothing. She failed to test. And she proved being a traitor to her country.

and ooops: "Arabs of Israel obtained "prestigious" positions in Israel because they were far and away the most talented and qualified, certainly not because the Jews weren't racist. Europe being a democracy and not racist is the reason why Jews could rise above staedles, dirt and misery" How do you like your own racism?

George Galloway is an excellent example of an MP who constantly criticizes his British government in the harshest manner and is treated with full respect. It's a silly and childish argument to say "Imagine if a Jew were in an Arab country they would be treated worse etc..".... Arabs never claimed to be democratic. Mk Zoabi ought to be treated with respect and should have the right to freedom of speech. Period.

Zoabi's bio in Wikipedia: Haneen Zoabi was born in Nazareth to a Muslim family. Zoabi studied philosophy and psychology at the University of Haifa, earning a Bachelors of Arts, and received a Masters of Arts in communications from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She was the first Arab citizen of Israel to graduate in media studies, and established the first media classes in Arab schools. She also worked as a math teacher and worked as a school inspector for the Israeli Ministry of Education. She is a relative of Seif el-Din el-Zoubi, a former mayor of Nazareth and member of the Knesset between 1949 and 1959, and again from 1965 until 1979, and Abd el-Aziz el-Zoubi, a Deputy Health Minister and the first Arab member of an Israeli government. Zoabi and her family seemed to have done pretty well under Israeli "fascism". There may be discrimination against Israeli Arabs. However, Zoabi's background is not an example of it.

How on earth would YOU know what racism I have encountered, and from whom? Oh, That's right! Hadn't you then better shut up? What I DO know is that Ms. Zoabi is a member of Knesset. I ALSO know that she traveled to Libya, in defiance of the laws of Israel which she took an oath to uphold, and that she ALSO sailed aboard the MAVI MARMARA, in further defiance of the laws of Israel which she took an oath to uphold. That's not civil disobedience, chica. That's TREASON. I also remember how she raved about Bashar Assad and his "principles of democracy" and efforts to achieve the restoration of the Golan Heights to Syria. The only racist idiot in the equation is Zoabi. And you, of course. If you're Jewish, I suppose we'll just have to find a way to put up with you (assuming you haven't committed treason). That is not the case with Ms. Zoabi, whose treason is far worse, in view of the fact that she is an elected member of Israel's Parliament and has taken an oath to uphold the laws of the State of Israel. Which she flouts with abandon.

Arabs, Christian, Duze, Moslims and Israel's High Court Judge Salim Joubran and former Deputy Foreign Minister Nawaf Masalha can buy land in israel. Why they are not jews. The same group of "full" israeli citizens are forced to pay taxes in support of Judaism. While their own religions are percecuted.

I am sure you have facts and figures and a heap of charming anecdotes to back up your "modification". Read poster #35 to break through that thick denial of yours

this time she got a surprise. She is such a hypocrite, and yes, a rascist betch. She hates Israel so much why is she still here, Ugly Zoabi Zanabi Gaza awaits you. GO!!!

Well, British citizens pay taxes which support the Church of England. If someone living in the State of Israel and reaping all the benefits of its democracy (while not incurring all of the obligations) does not wish to support the State of Israel, they are free to leave at any time. Perhaps they will feel much, much happier in Gaza City or Beirut or Damascus. If you don't like the way your tax dollars are spent, your only recourse is to leave.

I'm Jewish but my tax dollars go to pay for the Ontario Catholic School Board. Your argument is facile.

Just having an Israeli Arab MK from Israel sitting in Germany to freely decry the State is proof that Israel is NOT a racist State. By Zoabi's very existence, her accusation is contradicted.

kol hakavod!

You wrote: "Lets talk about the fate of the German Jews: secular scientists. doctors, musicians, & artists" Yes, lets talk about it. Does this not prove, that Europe wasn't neither racist nor facsist? How could they become "secular scientists. doctors, musicians, & artists" if Europe would have be racist or facsist?

that never served in the I.D.F. from voting, sitting in the knesset or working in government. It makes no difference if they are Jewish or not, they should not be full citizens. They gave nothing to the state and should not be on the same level of citizenship as those that defended Israel. The same goes for the right to protest!

"Apartheid" to her means the minority doesn't have the majority rule. And "democracy" means, one minority ethnic group with a false narrative can abuse and rule over the majority. I guess to Zoabi, Gaddafi's Libya and Bahrain are perfect examples of Democracy in the Arab world.

Well, first - "Palestinian" isn't an race category. It's a nationalistic one, and one from a non-existent State, for that matter. Zoabi is an Israeli and an Arab. She is not "Palestinian" unless she gives up her Israeli citizenship (and comfort) and moves to Ramallah for "citizenship" there. The Kurds and the Zulus have more grounds to be considered an ethnic group than does the "Palestinians". Most Israeli Arabs do not classify themselves as "Palestinians" and do not support Zoabi.

they are usually the harbinger of cowardliness. A good reason many Israeli Arabs do not support Zoabi, and instead vote for Labor or Likud. Israeli Arab MKs have often been chided by other Israeli Arabs for their obsession with "Palestinians", spreading lies and discontent in order to divide Israeli society, and completely ignoring the needs of the Israeli Arab sector. It takes no courage to travel the world, on someone else's dime, lambast a govt and 78% of the population of the State they represent, knowing NOTHING will happen to them. Conversely, it takes great courage to deal with the plight of average citizens and bridge the gap between ethnic groups to create peace, which is why so few people do it. The courage here was exhibited by those Jewish students who stood up and presented the truth before, what could have been, a violent, intolerant crowd - but we don't know what happened AFTER the speech ended, do we?

Show us where and when other religions in Israel were persecuted? Enshrined in law, ALL citizens are free to practice their religion, adhere to their own religious ceremonies which govern daily lives like marriage and deaths, and have free movement around the country. It was Bibi who stepped in over 10 years ago and saved the Plaza of the Ascension in Nazareth from Muslim usurpers who tried to take it over, and used heavy moving equipment 24/7 to create facts on the ground. Bibi dispelled them and returned the Plaza to the Christian community. Yet, just across the Green Line, Christians are forcibly converted in Gaza and Christian property is stolen by Muslims in Bethlehem. NO ONE is subjected to support Judaism. During Yom Kippur, only Jews fast while Christian and Muslim stores are freely open and selling food. In Arab countries, if a Christian ate a sandwich in public during Ramadan, he'd be jailed. How's that for religious apartheid? Most of the unpaid taxes are from Arab villages, yet they receive the full support of govt infrastructure, and State-supported protection by police and the IDF, while many refuse to participate in it themselves. Seems like there is racism in Israel, but it's against the Jewish majority in favor of the Arab minority, for some reason.

Having Jews who achieved high positions in govt, science, or academia is not proof of lack of racism or fascism. Having the opportunity to kill Jews for just being Jews, with impunity, and choosing NOT TO is a measure of lack of racism and fascism. Sadly, Europe failed that test in the 1930s. While Europe today is better than it was, there is still plenty of anti-Jew, anti-Israel sentiments against us in Europe while there is mostly silence or attempts at justification for more blatant and heinous crimes that occur elsewhere in the world. Holding one group up to impossible standards while forgiving everyone else for the same, or worse, IS the definition of racism. It doesn't get more basic that that.

Care to explain how so many Jewish scientists, doctors, musicians, artists and university professors died in the concentration and extermination camps? I eagerly await your response.

"Having Jews who achieved high positions in govt, science, or academia is not proof of lack of racism or fascism." And what about Arabs? Exchange "Jews" with "Arabs" in your own answer and you will have the perfect answer for Zoabi.

zoabi takes all the benefits of israeli socieyt and takes free speech to subvert israel at every turn. She is an arab whore who could reform if she married a jewish man and then would tell the truth about the scum the PLo has been peddling since 63.

A LOOOONG TIME AGO

Unintentional, I'm sure, but there is accuracy in your first sentence. As for zoabi, the only explanation for her is that Israel is a democracy and not racist

Great way to respond to objectors. Instead of ignoring them and forging ahead like any diplomatic speaker, MK Zoabi calls them "fascists." What a great leader. Must have Europe enthralled with her speeches.
