31. What? That's all? I thought
Israeli 2   (12.10.12)
traitors must be imprisoned.
32. #17
Michael Oren ,   Seattle WA   (12.10.12)
I don't remember Kahane being convicted or charged with treason or any other crime, yet he and his party were banned for running for the Kenesset.
33. And what do you say about your FM Lieberman

34. Zoabi should howl at the moon from Gaza
Ron ,   OC, USA   (12.10.12)
God knows she would be happier there.
35. @ #4
M. Davison ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (12.10.12)
Haneen Zoabi's constituency are Israeli Arabs living inside Israel. For the past 4 years, she has been representing the Palestinian Arabs living in the Palestinian Authority. She has NOT been representing her constituency, but a foreign population that has no business interfering in Israeli politics. Even her own uncle has signed a petition to disallow her running in the coming elections for the same reason.

People are often not charged for any number of reasons. The supposed reason Zoabi wasn't charged (which seemed more political than legal to me) was that the events of the Mavi Marmora occurred outside of Israeli territorial waters, therefore Israeli courts had no jurisdiction. I say this: If Meir Kahana's party could be barred for racism (and I approved of barring him and his party), then Balad and Haneen Zoabi can be barred for similar reasons--and it was a leftist government that barred Meir Kahana. Last week there was an article in ALL the Israeli papers about her own uncle signing a petition from Arab voters to Balad that they didn't want her running again because she ignored her own constituency and had an agenda that included ONLY the Palestinian Arabs and not the Israeli Arabs. That alone is enough to prevent her from being allowed to run. How would you like a US senator who acted in the interests of, say, Russia or China, while getting his paycheck from the US government?
37. She must be disqualified from Israel altogether!
tom ,   tel aviv   (12.10.12)
38. She needs to not only be disqualified
Gracey ,   Israel   (12.10.12)
she needs to be kicked right out the country - she is rotten to the core and cannot be trusted. KICK HER OUT!
39. This is not about left or right
David ,   Israel   (12.10.12)
She is a member of parliament, who is paid by the tax payers of Israel, and whose agenda is completely against Israel so much that she is friends and supportive to people of Hamas, a known terror group that has killed and maimed thousands of Israeli civilians. There is nothing left leaning about her views, she's an extreme Arab right wing that is completely for the destruction of the state. She merely abuses her democratic powers to hurt the state not any opposition party in government. Anyone that argues that Israel isn't a free state only has to look at what would happen to her as opposition had she been in Syria, Egypt or Iran. She would have been hung or stoned to death for her views elsewhere
40. Zoabi tells what Zionists don't like to here
Yossile   (12.10.12)
~> The Truth.
41. # 40
Tubby ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (12.10.12)
Yossile, are you so senile ?
42. to# 27 Doron
Marcelo ,   Berlin / TLV   (12.10.12)
Let me remind you, little lefty, that that arab MK shaked the hand of Hamas leaders, she has also kissed Kadaffy, shouts she is palilala and not israeli, shouts that Mermara was a boat full of peacefully brothers, does not say a letter about rockets into Israel and condemns Israel whenever she can, here and abroad. She says nothing about bombing israelis. She supports the boycott culturally and economically of Israel and wants openly to destroy everything that Israel represents. If you agree with her, have a nice life in another country where you feel free and lefty as everybody else. For the ones with the legs on this planet, she is a danger and does not belong into the Knesset....
43. She hides behind parliamentary privilege
Jrebecca ,   modiin   (12.10.12)
and that Israel tries too hard to be politically correct. Many Israeli Arabs dont vote at all because they wont vote for a Jewish party, and the Arab parties do nothing for them. Maybe if we get rid of people like Zoabi and Tibi our Arabs will actually become part of the democratic state they live in and have rights in.
44. Freedom of Speech?!!!
Jake Stone ,   USA   (12.10.12)
Why is this even being discussed? Arabs shouldn't be allowed in the Knesset--period! This Arab/Muslim cancer is eating Israel, alive, from within! Political correctness and multiculturalism is going to destroy us all...if it is allowed to! This traitorous witch should've been shot a long time ago; yeah, the only "freedom of speech" she deserves is that bullet in the head! However, a good neck-stretch is enticing!
45. Zoabi
Moragh   (12.11.12)
who in their right mind would vote a heathen like Zoabi into Israel's Knesset. she doesn't even belong in Israel.... or does she??? Out with the creature, she's not fit to be anything!
