Reply #130: Majalli Wahabi, filled in as President of Israel for a day or so in early 2007

[azurnoir]

because of Moshe Katsav's ahem legal problems (rape) and his deputy being out of the country oh and BTW he's Druze not simply a generic Arab as you seem to think, but I know suc distinctions are difficult for some

yes Golda Meir was PM of Israel but Si Lanka and India had female PM's prior to that those being Sirimavo Bandaranaike and Indira Gandhi oh and when using having a female PM as a mark of being a progressive country let's not forget Benazir Bhutto of Pakistan either

Ra'am Ta'al is like al-Qaeda so in your mind would that make MK Tibi Osama Bin Lauden? well the rightwing in Israel seems to agree with you

On 12 January 2009, the Ra'am-Ta'al list was disqualified from the 2009 elections by the Central Elections Committee. 21 committee members voted in favor of its disqualification, with eight members voting against and two members abstaining. Tibi said the decision was related to Operation Cast Lead, claiming "this is a racist country. We are accustomed to these types of struggles and we will win" and that "this decision strives for a Knesset without Arabs that will only lead to the increased solidarity between the Arab public and its leadership". He said he would appeal to the Israeli High Court of Justice.<1> On 21 January the High Court of Justice overturned the Committee's decision unanimously. Tibi welcomed the decision and said: "We have beaten fascism. This fight is over but the battle is not. Racism has become a trend in Israel… the court's decision has righted a wrong by Kadima and Labor".<2> The list won four seats, with Tibi retaining his place in the Knesset.

Israeli politicians are trying to 'reform' the High court as of now aren't they perhaps so this type of thing won't happen again

combat kill ratios yes I guess 100/1 is better than the US glad to see you approve? and no Israel fights closer to home but then again the US is not attempting colonize Afghanistan or Iraq either

and no most on both sides do not prefer a one state solution, but Jordan and Israel is not an acceptable 2 state solution either
