Israeli Arab MP explicitly calls for Jews to leave Israel
Official PA TV program Face to Face, hosting Israeli Arab MP Ahmad Tibi
MP Ahmad Tibi: “My response to [Israeli Minister of Transportation and Minister of Intelligence and Atomic Energy] Yisrael Katz was: ‘You who pass through the sea of transient words / take your names and leave/ and take what you want from the sand of memory and leave.’ There are parliament members who understand Arabic. There was a bit of a stir. I told them, in order to be even clearer, that I would translate the poem into Hebrew. I translated it well. I read it to them in Hebrew and told them: The occupation will not persist. Yisrael Katz comes and Yisrael Katz goes, and Jerusalem and Nazareth forever stand strong. And I mean every word.”
