1. They reject Zionism so they should stay out of the Knesset
(03.02.15)
My problem with the Arab members of Knesset and with most arabs in Israel is exactly that they do NOT fight to better their living conditions in Israel but they fight to destroy Zionism. They say it out loud that they REJECT the Jewish character of Israel and that they will try and turn Israel to a state of "all its citizens" instead of a Jewish state. In my opinion every Knesset member should swear before entering the Knesset that he accepts Israel as a Jewish state. Those that have a problem with this simple statement should stay OUT of the Knesset. We Israeli Jews give the Arabs in Israel the tools of democracy to destroy the state that WE built - the only Jewish state there is.
2. The Jewish State's worst nightmare:
Gershon Reed ,   Be'er Sheva   (03.02.15)
A United Arab ticket with 90% Arab voter turnout and 50% voter turn out for the rest. Do the math, it gives a United Arab party 37 seats in the Kinesset. Oy Vey! Get out and vote!
