Showing Original Post only (View all)Full interview..MKs Hanin Zoabi, Jamal Zahalka, Basel Ghattas..why they are angry at Israel's left [View all]
Full interview and shared passions declare MKs Hanin Zoabi, Jamal Zahalka and Basel Ghattas they have no regrets and explain why they are angry at Israel's left and what country they dream.You advocate a state of all its citizens, the dismantling of the Jewish state and giving equal status to all citizens rights. So why have not visited the bereaved families of the Jewish side, for example, the families of the innocent young people who were killed...
MK Ghattas: "The question is not fair. You create symmetry between minority elected official, he is the victim, who is fighting for the most basic things, they are privileges for you, even if you are the most militant anti-Zionist, causing damage to Zionism is a thousand times more than I do. "
It is a humane act. Monitoring Committee Chairman Mohammad Barakeh walked past the funeral of a Jewish girl who was killed in a Qassam rocket.
"Again I say to you: This is an unfair question. You do not judge me." "You judge. You ask: 'Why do not you go and express sorrow to the Jewish family that pays the price, as I'm going to a Palestinian family?' Symmetry does not work that way. I belong to a national minority, the victim pays the price every day. "

What about the rights of the LGBT community in a secular and democratic country?
"This is a subject we do not refer to it.""Our society is not yet ready to deal with this issue," added MK Zoabi, "The truth is that it is not ready to engage in a more simple issues such as intermarriage between members of different religions. We are still fighting for social rights that should be obvious: creative freedom, women's rights. As a company, we are deteriorating. 30 years ago there were more freedom and progress. The hegemony of religious discourse is strengthened. "

This is what the "wonderful" BDS version of one "democratic secular state with equal rights for all" would look like - AT BEST - with a Jewish minority. These are SECULAR Palestinian MK's in Israel. So progressive....
No sympathy for murdered Jews. No LGBT or Women's Rights. No freedom of speech. And of course, Jews would be banned from their holy sites.

Being against the discrimination of Israeli Arabs isn't enough for me to support Arab MKs.

I think you misrepresent the attitudes revealed in the poll to mean something less than they do.

First off, I must say that I personally can't support anyone who supports Hezbollah.
