The arrest (which has since been reduced to house arrest) of Iz a-Din Badran, the parliamentary aide of Balad MK Azmi Bishara, due to suspicions that he organized trips by Israeli Arabs to Syria without a permit, testifies to the hardheartedness of the Israeli security system, which does not distinguish between issues of a human-humanitarian nature and issues of security and politics.
Israeli citizens whom Badran is suspected of helping traveled to Syria in order to meet family members that they had not seen for 57 years. Most of these citizens are elderly people who became separated from their family members in 1948 in the wake of the expulsion or flight from Israel (depending on whom one asks). Since then, they and their relatives have not met, in spite of the fact that each of them knows where the other lives. These people suffer from daily trauma. A person who lives in Nazareth, for example, has great difficulty digesting the fact that in the 21st century he cannot see his brother or sister, who lives about a two-hour drive away. He lives in constant fear that he will die before he sees his loved ones. These are first- or second-degree relatives - brother and sisters, cousins, uncles and aunts - and even childhood friends. People on whom separation inflicted deep wounds that have not healed during all the intervening years. Many of them in fact died before receiving an opportunity to meet with their loved ones again. The others live in the hope that they will fulfill their dream one day.
And finally, after years of being buffeted between fears and hopes, they received the opportunity to meet their loved ones, thanks to MK Bishara. The meetings were very moving and provided them with moments that they will never forget.

This could just as easily apply to an Israeli Jew who gets up in the morning and takes the bus to work.
Azmi Bishara is the POS who stated publicly that Israel should cease to exist, and democracy should be overthrown and replaced by Islamic Sharia and that he is working to achieve that goal. And yet he has not been thrown out of his well-paid (taxpayer-supported) job of Knesset member.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
Those poor Palestinians.
Lunatic thinking wrapped in purple prose Arab victimhood. The article is dishonest and sickening.
Ever think to look at the facts recorded in history?
"Ever think to look at the facts recorded in history?"
Which ones? Any scumbag can get any facts "recorded in history" these days.

And in other news, Bernie Sanders is still seated in the U.S. House of Representatives...
He is a professional "oven Jew" who just can't grow up and realize that there are evil people, many of them Arabs, and that the best thing to do when the evil threaten you is kill them first.
His whiny line "These people suffer from daily trauma" is laughable, considering that the Arabs have been inflicting daily killings and othr mayhem on Israelis since 1948.
Suggestion: Dress him in a tutu and drop him off in an Iranian market place on the main market day.
Betcha he learns the limits of cross cultural understanding in a hurry.
They are now reaping what they have sown.
Glad your brush with other vehicular traffic did not dampen your resolve to keep us informed.
I have difficulty digesting that Muslims control the town where Jesus was born, let alone that Jews are forbidden to live there.
Not to mention there are many people in Israel who have great difficulty digesting since their internal organ were shredded by shrapnel from a suicide bomber.

The terrorists' crocodile tears will be sprinkled all over the eager philanthropists of western Europe.
Bethlehem, Nazareth, Jericho .....the Muzzies control it all. Hard to digest, no doubt.
Glad you likes the tutu idea. By the way, I just read your tag line. "Hamastine" is a great one.
