Jerusalem – Arab political leaders in Israel say Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s apology, for comments he made in last week’s national elections that offended members of the Arab community, was not enough.

Netanyahu told a gathering of Arab community leaders that he apologized for his election-day warning to supporters that Arab citizens were voting “in droves,” saying that he did not intend to offend. But Arab-Israeli politician Ahmed Tibi told Israel Radio Tuesday that Netanyahu’s comment was “not an honest apology.”
Aida Touma-Suliman of the Joint List, which received a majority of Arab-Israeli votes, said party representatives were not invited to the gathering where Netanyahu apologized.
Arab citizens make up 20 percent of Israel’s population. Equality is guaranteed by Israeli law, but many Arabs have long complained of wide-ranging official discrimination.
Send all these animals to the Gaza and turn the land into glass
only in Israel are known enemies allowed to serve in parliament. Even the Congressional Black Caucus is not as treachourous.
And yet THEY had the right to vote, lets NOT overlook that!!!!
If they don’t like it…they too can leave and join their Arab Brothers in their Arab Countries…Israel IS THE JEWISH STATE!
