Arab Member of Israel Government Blames Israeli Policy for Terror Against Jews in Bulgaria: Is Israel Democratic?

Haneen Zoabi, a female Arab and member of Israel's Knesset (parliament), criticized Israel's policy as the reason for the terrorist attack in Bulgaria aimed at Jewish-Israeli tourists. MK Zoabi said, "Israel is not a victim, and even when civilians are killed, the occupying Israeli policy is to blame."

Israel allows Arabs, Muslim and women to run for office and sit in its national government, the Knesset. Zoabi belongs to the National Democratic Assembly in Israel.

Arab nations surrounding Israel don't offer the same rights to women or minority religions. Many surrounding Arab nations also deny the right to criticize the government. Ms. Zoabi should aim her rhetoric and accusations at her fellow Arabs before she condemns the peaceful, democratic, and tolerant nation of Israel.
.ORG reports: An Israeli Arab Knesset member said that Israeli policy led to the terrorist attack in Bulgaria last week.

    Islam, a Religion of "Peace" and a bunch of dead bodies. Since 9/11, Islamic terrorists have carried out more than 19,314 terrorist attacks. Jerusalem (true capital of Israel) is mentioned 667 times in the Old Testament, 144 times in the New Testament, and ZERO times in the Koran. Case closed. Mohammed was jealous of "People of the Book," wanted to be accepted, but rejected for his maniacal views, all downhill from there.

    Most Arab nations won't let a Jew set foot in their backward countries. Meanwhile, Israel allows them into the Parliament. Talk about tolerance!!

    Too Democratic, by allowing Arabs and Muslims to serve in Parliament or to run for office! This policy is totally counter-productive for Israel, not to mention dangerous. Nothing good can come from this insane policy and it is potentially explosive. (Literally!)

    Exactly!! Everyone should watch the vid I've posted below. Egyptian Actors Pranked on Candid Camera Turn Violent When Told TV Channel Is Israeli. This is the mindset of most Muslims. The beautiful interviewer (Iman) gets beat up on live TV. The looks on their eyes when they're told it's an "Israeli" channel is priceless lol. These highly-prized Muslims freak out. Their love of German TV is also very telling.:

    More than Syria.
    BTW, Haneen Zoabi is not a "member of Israel government", "government" means the executive branch in most countries, she is an MK, a member of the legislative branch.
    Also, several Arab countries surrounding Israel do respect religious minorities, although there ARE problems: Jordan and Egypt are two examples. Remember that the UN secretary-general was once an Egyptian Copt.

    The fact that they are Democratic has been a myth that Israel has managed to foist on people for years. I'll say this for the Israelis, they have an amazing propaganda machine that can spin everything and anything they do to their own advantage. How strange that the world fears a Muslim State but it is OK to have an exclusive Jewish State. Much of what we don't like in the Islamic world they learned from the Jewish Old Testament. Multiple wives, stoning and the domination of women. It has only been the Jewish contact with the Western World over the centuries that has caused them to modify their culture.

    except the part of "Much of what we don't like in the Islamic world they learned from the Jewish Old Testament."
    we have own rules..we didn't learn it form any other religion.

    ''Arab Member of Palestine government blames Israeli occupiers policy for terror against Jews in Bulgaria: Are these gangsters occupiers democratic ?

    They are NOT occupiers, the land belongs to Israel. Furthermore, the woman that made that statement should be removed from office.

    They are not occupiers?? Ask the people whose land they took and will not give back. The world speaks with one voice when it says that land taken in war must be returned to the owners. Israel has not done that. When you have check points by foreign soldiers pointing guns at you in your ancestral home I think you feel occupied.

    Ask the Israelis if they are occupiers? That was NEVER Palestine land, NEVER.
    Apparently the WORLD does not speak with ONE voice, because AMERICANS (the majority) ARE NOT SAYING IT HAS TO BE RETURNED.
    Stop terrorizing Israel and they will not have guns pointed in their direction. END OF STORY!
