    The two, aged 18, admitted that they had called Tibi’s cell phone several times, cursed him and threatened to physically harm him.

    Tibi complained about two weeks ago that a message left on his assistant’s voicemail said, “You dirty Arab, your end will come. Your days are numbered, you dog.” The message included a series of curses and abusive comments.

    Police detectives managed to locate the two suspects, one of whom was brought before a judge and released home under restrictions. The second suspect was to be brought before a judge at the Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court. A police official said additional arrests were expected.

    Following the threats against Tibi, members of the Knesset’s Arab factions said that given the hostile public atmosphere which followed the Gaza flotilla raid, they felt more threatened than ever.

    “This is the rightist Knesset members’ fault, for creating an adverse atmosphere which gives everyone a free reign to express animosity towards the Arab leadership. We are facing times like never before,” said MK Tibi.

    What these two fools did is add fuel to the fire. Every action gets counted by HaShem. The world also takes notes when these type of events happens. It ruins it for good jews.

    Almost the entire Knesset are made of these Hamas-linked, Nazi-allied liberals. Better no Israel than an Israel that allows violent Jew-haters like Haneen Al-Cockaroachy, Nazi Horowitz and Mohammed Tibi to serve in the Knesset – rather than keeping them in prison where they belong.

    These stupid bochurim along with those who painted graffiitti and set fire to the mosques a few weeks ago should be severely punished. Every time this happens there is more reason for the arabs to retaliate against yiddeshe mosdos and attack yidden (not that they really need an excuse). The punishment here should be swift and harsh.

    A SERIOUS WARNING

    We hereby view with great seriousness the provocations of the savages against the Arabs that endangers the entire Jewish community in the Holy Land, G-d forbid.

    These wild actions are carried out by provocateurs in order to pull in the Ultra-Orthodox Jewish community into the frightful provocations, the result of which is catastrophic and destructive to the Ultra-Orthodox community, and places the entire Jewish community in terrible danger, G-d forbid.
    WE UNEQUIVOCALLY AND ABSOLUTELY CONDEMN AND DENOUNCE THESE SAVAGE ACTIONS

    We hereby state that Ultra-Orthodox Jews have no connection or link to the provocations against the Arabs.
    THEREFORE WE HEREBY ISSUE THIS EXTREMELY SERIOUS WARNING BY VIRTUE OF THE POWER OF THE HOLY TORAH TO BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL IN THIS MATTER.

    The Yeshiva failed to teach the bochrim how to use their brains properly in life. The yeshiva failed to teach these imbeciles Torah values not Arab values. These boys should be forced into the IDF where the state will teach them responsibility for every choices and actions they make in life. Any provocation against Arabs is always responded with deadly results from the Arab mobs. By now, we should know that the Arabs will not waste any opportunity to lob bombs at Jews anywhere around the world, and any little enticement from our side is taken as good excuse to attack Jews.

    Where is sanity when you really need it???

    The only problem that I have is that they only “threatened” to harm them. If you’re going to do something, don’t talk about it, just do it and we’ll be rid of human debris.
