3. Balad
Henry Tobias ,   מעלה אדומים   (01.05.19)
The Balad members are so anti-Israel I agree they should leave the country. I don't mind them challenging the government, but I object to them calling for my death.

6. And what is Zoabis legacy?
Tim ,   Brighton   (01.05.19)
History will judge that by her finger wagging vociferous anti Israel anti cohesion anti inclusion posture she helped damage Israeli Arab progress, hindered inclusion and national service, fed a narrative of mistrust and suspicion and tried to subvert Israels security EACH TIME OF NATIONAL danger many suspect simply to advance her own popularity and agendas

She constantly UNFORGIVABLY derided even threatened any Israeli Arab who might endorse the idea of a collective Israeli destiny and national service promoting instead a separate even segregated existence even at one point infamously calling on young Israeli Arabs to only speak Arabic EVEN if it meant undermining their future careers..just so long it didnt undermine hers

(01.05.19)
to look far & hard to find a more loathsome Israeli Jew to even make a comparison.
It must've been some pathogen in his system that caused a complete derailment of his life-values.
Yes he's entitled to hold his abhorrent views, as much as we're entitled to ostracize him and his ilk.
As to these two Arab terror-supporters in our own Parliament (Knesset): are you joking?!

13. Is this the Yaron London who officially gave up Judaism
GF ,   Jerusalem   (01.05.19)
as his religion on his teudat zehut?
14. The biased author
Moshe   (01.05.19)
After reading this article, it is difficult to escape the conclusion that the author is a member of the anti-Israeli Joint List faction, or even of its radical Balad part. Hanin Zoabi's view on the local conflict : " my party which I represent talks about two different states. One state for all citizens which is NON-ZIONIST STATE, NON-JEWISH STATE, within the borders of '48. And a Palestinian state, with the right of return.... ". " She has described soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces as 'murderers'."
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haneen_Zoabi#Political_views_and_opinions).

Jamal Zahalka's view is similar. So according to Mr. London Israel's hostile MKs have the right to utter publicly their hate toward the Jewish state, but it is not appropriate for Jewish MKs to express satisfaction for departure of their enemies.
15. Myopic political squabbles
Beauchard ,   Amsterdam   (01.05.19)
Hanin Zoabi is an important part of the attempt to delegitimize Israel and Israeli Jews.
I have always found it strange that Israeli columnists, like this one, have never paid any attention to what she has been doing outside of the country.
Perhaps they do not understand how this delegitimization works.
Or they may be too occupied with their myopic political squabbles to recognize the existential danger.

The delegitimization starts with the misappropriation of the legacy of the Holocaust.

A few years ago, Zoabi was the keynote speaker at an alternative Kristallnacht commemoration in Amsterdam. In her speech she deplored the slaughter during the Holocaust and compared Israeli Jews to the Nazis

None of the invited guests had any problems with her speech. They agreed with it, because the misappropriation of the legacy of the Holocaust does not deny the Holocaust.
Far from it, it emphasizes that the Jews who were killed were the victims of a terrible slaughter caused by discrimination, racism and bigotry.

Essential is the emphasis placed on Jews being victims in the past.

According to the misappropriation, today’s live Jews, the Zionists, are not victims. They are the oppressors; perpetrators of indiscriminate killing of innocents; the modern equivalent of the Nazis.
That is why they cheer when Israeli Jews are killed.

Therefore, they maintain that the victims of today's live Jews are the real descendants of the Jews killed in the Holocaust.
For these people, Palestinians like Ahed Tamimi are modern-day Anne Franks.

All this does not interest Mr. London.
After all, "The leadership in Balad can be replaced in a democratic manner, something that cannot be said for several other political parties in Israel".

16. Haneen Zoabi has more Courage than the entire Knesset
Steve Benassi ,   Plymouth, MN USA   (01.06.19)
17. MR
Eliyahu Kitov ,   safed   (01.06.19)
as a Jew, Mr London is fortunate that the Arabs formed a joint list thus simplifying his choice of which party to vote for.
18. London who?
Joseph ,   Ra’anana   (01.06.19)
London is a city very far from here full of muslims and jew hatred
19. Hate for one's enemy is not 'for hate's sake', but this
(01.06.19)
patented, old fool London wouldn't know first thing about that.
All he knows& understands is deep dislike for anything Zionist.
A despicable individual and that's an understatement!
