Stupid people are a National Security risk.

Arab MK says ahead of Yom Kippur, ‘Israeli society lives in peace with humiliation of every Arab who arrives at Ben-Gurion Airport or at any checkpoint’
Knesset Member Ahmed Tibi (United Arab List – Ta'al) said Thursday ahead of the Yom Kippur holiday that, “There are Jews who should ask non-Jews, including Arabs, for forgiveness each day for the continued despair of one-fifth of the population and for the fact that the Arab education system is missing 200 classrooms and that only five percent of the employees of government offices are Arab.”
Tibi added: “Israeli society is witnessing the growth of fascist weeds such as MKs Effie Eitam and Avigdor Lieberman and others but remains tolerant toward them. The same Jewish society should ask forgiveness for the fact that its institutions, including the police, are treating the Arabs in Israel as though they were enemies and not citizens.
“This is a society that lives in peace with the humiliation of every Arab who arrives at Ben-Gurion Airport or at any checkpoint,” he said.
Tibi continued: “Anyone who is tolerant toward calls to kill Arabs during wartime and forceful transfer should look deep inside himself. I do not expect an apology from Eitam or Lieberman, but I do expect self-examination on the part of the Jewish society in Israel that preaches to the entire world but imprisons people in the West Bank – in its own backyard.
“We are not against the state, but against the government, and there is a distinct difference between the two,” Tibi said.
'What good did the Syria trip do?’
MK Nadia Hilou (Labor) took the criticism a step further, claiming that many need to examine their own deeds, including Arab Knesset members.
“Everyone has a part in the radicalization that has happened. The Arab MKs need to know that their comments only give Lieberman more mandates. And their deeds too. What, for example, did their trip to Syria contribute to the lives of Israel’s Arab population? What did we gain from it? They need to search themselves and understand that such moves only take us backwards. If you want to be the mediators between Israel and the Arab world, you must do it with permission and authority. Why can’t an Arab delegation go on a governmental delegation and make contact with the Arab nations? We must use our experience.”
Further, the State needs some introspection. “There are walls that are only growing between the camps, and everyone is responsible. The State needs to atone for the neglect and the gaps which are only growing. After all, we are citizens of this State and not citizens of Jordan or Egypt. Our home is here and not there, but we aren’t accepted here. Why are there such enormous gaps between Arab and Jewish education?” she demanded.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
Blah blah blah Jews. Blah blah blah Palestine. Blah blah blah white males. Blah blah blah . . .
It would seem that many Jews are Anti-Semite.
They seem to hate themselves.
find a way to say thanks.Amen.
Gee, he almost says it like it's unjustified...
Considering that Israeli arabs are the only free arabs in the entire middle east, they should thank God each day that they live in Israel.
And considering that their arab cousins across the line are at war with Israel, Israeli arabs should feel a sense of shame, and the need to prove every day their love and loyalty to Israel. Israeli arabs should be on the front line defending what is in effect the only free arab country in the world.
But thats just me. If they don't understand why their fellow Israelis might mistrust them, they are dim. And if they do not thank God for Israel, then they really should leave.
Great post!
KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle to MK Tibi: "Eat it."
just the Jewish liberals
Great Graphics! Mind if I "borrow" them?
I don't mind. I borrowed them
"We're sorry you're murderous, uncivilized pigs. We're sorry you're occupying our land. We're sorry you put that abomination of desolation you call a mosque on top of our temple...."
Help me out here, folks. I'm a Gentile. I can't possibly have figured out everything Israeli Jews need to apologize to the Arabs for.
Tibi is telling another fibby. Arabs are treated just fine and respectfully at Ben Gurion airport.
Aw jeeze louise.....Idiot Acharonot must be trying to break some kind of record for silliness....what the heck is in their drinking water?!?!? Pass the Pepto again, but this time with a Tanqueray chaser!
"I can't possibly have figured out everything Israeli Jews need to apologize to the Arabs for."
Something about the Arabs letting The Holy Land rot without occupants until Israel moved in and the desert blossomed. Then a bunch of itinerant Jordanians and other Arabs squatted there and, calling themselves the made-up name of "Palestinians", demanded some rights. Sort of like the American Southwest today. Only they're illegal Arabs instead of illegal Mexicans.
"Tibi served as a political advisor to the late Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat for several years, even representing the Palestinians at the 1998 Wye River negotiations. Tibi resigned from the post in 1999, upon deciding to run for the Knesset. Tibi has described his relationship with Arafat as "close" and "extremely interesting and important to [him]." - Wikipedia
Obviously the guy hates Israel.
