Israel to permit hunger-striking Palestinian prisoners to be sedated for force-feeding

Palestinian Member of Israel’s Knesset who oppose the force-feeding bill calls it ‘immoral’ and ‘unethical.’

Jewish MK says, “Tibi wants pain & suffering, and I don’t. I don’t want them to suffer.”

Arab MK Tibi Unmasked as Uncivilized Host and Liar

 

 

The Canadian delegation was shocked by the uncivilized behavior of loud-mouthed Israeli Arab member of Knesset, and worst of all, a blatant liar.

By Israel Today Staff

 

 

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s visit is the gift that just keeps on giving.

Aside from his public and unwavering stance in support of Israel, and his refusal to be tricked into unfairly singling out the Jewish state for criticism, Harper’s visit has provided the backdrop for one or two amusing political episodes, as well.

Arab Knesset Member Ahmed Tibi, hater of all things “Zionist,”, expresses a ‘right’ not available to Palestinians in a dozen Muslim countries.
