The Jerusalem Post asks it's readers, "Is there no limit to the abuse we as a nation will tolerate in the name of open-mindedness?"
Israeli Arab MK (Member of the Knesset/Parliament) Azmi Bishara told a group of students in Lebanon last week that Israel's founding is the greatest act of thievery in the 20th century.
"I will never recognize Zionism, even if all other Arabs do," he said. "I will never concede Palestine. The battle is still long."
Bishara spoke about the "1.2 million Palestinians living in Israel," who he said "are like all other Arabs, but with Israeli citizenship forced upon them…We are the original residents of Palestine, not those who came from Poland and Russia."
The Israeli Knesset member then addressed the Jews of Israel, saying, "Return Palestine to us and take your democracy with you. We Arabs are not interested in it."
Speaking truth to power, or treason? To me, if you believe Israel has the right to exist, you have to send the guy packing. What he's saying is not that much different that what the President of Iran says when he declares that the Jews should move to Alaska.
"I propose a budget amendment to the State of Israel to pay for a one-way ticket to Alaska for all Jews! I wish I would have thought of that first. Damn."
