Actually, Hadassah Hospital Already Showed Us how to Deal with Ahmed Tibi - by Sheri Oz

Hadassah showed no hesitation whatsoever. You break the rules. You suffer the consequences. Why can our elected lawmakers not understand that and make sure Tibi does not get to continue to betray the country that pays his salary and to which he should have pledged allegiance?

The writing has been on the wall for a long time, yet every time complaints are filed with the police against incitement to violence on the part of Israeli Arab members of the Knesset, the police choose to ignore them. In 2008, Israel National News website published an article about Ahmed Tibi entitled, Tibi – Profile of a Brilliant Enemy, in which a few examples were given, such as this one:

On January 11, 2007, Tibi participated in a large gathering marking 42 years since the founding of Fatah, in Ramallah. He called upon Fatah’s terrorists to continue their struggle against Israel, “until all of the Palestinian land is freed.” He accused Israel of murdering Arab babies. “They want to eliminate the Palestinian children, the women and the elderly, en route to the elimination of the ideas of Palestinian freedom and liberty,” he told the crowd.

Anyone who has read the section of the law regarding banning MKs from the Knesset can clearly see how Tibi should be banned (with perhaps even greater basis than the banning of Jewish candidates for the Knesset). Here is the relevant section of the law:

A candidates’ list shall not participate in elections to the Knesset, and a person shall not be a candidate for election to the Knesset, if the objects or actions of the list or the actions of the person, expressly or by implication, include one of the following:

1. negation of the existence of the State of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state;
2. incitement to racism;
3. support of armed struggle, by a hostile state or a terrorist organization, against the State of Israel.

Without doubt, Tibi repeatedly violates point 3 above.
