ARAB ISRAELI KNESSET MEMBER HATES ISRAELI DEMOCRACY

An Anti-Israel Israeli (WSJ_BOTW)
Ha'aretz reports on a speech in Lebanon by an Arab rabble-rouser named Azmi Bishara:

Bishara, addressing an Arab audience in Lebanon late last week, asserted that Arabs were the original residents of the land and urged Israelis to leave and "take their democracy" with them.

"Israel is the 20th century's greatest robbery, carried out in broad daylight. I will never recognize Zionism even if all Arabs do. I will never concede Palestine. The battle is still long," Bishara stated at a Lebanese book fair in Beirut.

The Lebanese audience received Bishara's comments warmly. "Return Palestine to us and take your democracy with you. We Arabs are not interested in it," the [Bishara] stated.


It's a pretty standard Jew-hating rant, except for one thing: Bishara is himself Israeli, and indeed is a member of the Knesset, Israel's parliament.
