Israel – Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman said Sunday Israeli-Arab MKs who celebrated Hamas’s “victory” in a rally on Friday in northern Israel “should celebrate behind bars for treason and supporting terror.”

Balad MKs Jamal Zehalka and Haneen Zoabi, and United Arab list head Ibrahim Sarsur, sang the Palestinian national anthem during the rally at the Kabul Regional Council southeast of Acre.
Palestinian flags draped the event, which was held under the banner “Gaza won.”
Some 2,000 people attended the event, which was organized by the Monitoring Committee of the Israeli Arab Leadership.
“Those demonstrators, which included Israeli-Arab MKs, did not demonstrate to identify with the pain of Gaza residents, rather they expressed open support for an enemy that fought against Israel for two months,” Liberman wrote on his Facebook page.
“Therefore, they should be seen as traitors and as those who support a terrorist organization, they should be tried and they should be given the “right” to observe a minute of silence, as they did at the rally, inside of a prison cell.”
Liberman attacked the Monitoring Committee of the Israeli Arab Leadership for organizing the event and said the rally served as proof that they are not a partner for dialogue.
“These are extremists who support enemies of the state and dialogue with them sends a negative message to Israeli Arabs who are loyal to the state.”

He’s right. But it will never happen, because our government bends over backwards to appease the enemy. It’s about time they grew some backbone.
Of course he should. Not gonna happen though.
So utterly pathetic that Israel has sitting in her Knesset traitors like these.
I agree with lieberman 100% – the Arab MK’ s are traitors a fifth cloumn
Legit call
Why does Israel even have Arabs in the Knesset? Any Arabs living in our borders should be assigned a special non-voting status. Don’t like it? You are welcome to leave our country and find someplace more fair!
