MK Hanin Zoabi announced her support for a two-state solution but added from her perspective, both states would be Judenrein – free of any Jews.
She made her racist remarks at an event that took place about two months ago in Switzerland, reported on Sunday 8 Elul by NRG. “My vision is for justice and the end of occupation. I do not want address one or two states for in my eyes, this is nothing more than a technical matter for even if we are speaking about two states, neither will be a Jewish state and both must be democratic.
“We cannot agree to the idea of a Jewish state. Our party’s political platform that I represent speaks of two nations, one for all its citizens, a nation that is not Zionist, not Jewish, within the 1948 boundaries, and the State of Palestine will be created alongside, including the right of return”.
“These two democratic nations, including the right of [Palestinian] return, with Jerusalem serving as the capital of Palestine. If they wish to develop ties between them, and come to diplomatic understandings – it would be possible. However, I cannot agree to one state and the continuation of the settlements and settlers in the West Bank. The right of return, a democratic nation, without any legitimization of Zionism or the Jewish nation. I don’t care”.
She was asked if she views her inclusion in Knesset as granting de-facto recognition to the Knesset. She stated “This is a logical claim but I do not see it this way. If this were the case, Israel would not be bothering to oust me and try to invalidate me. We do not represent the Jewish nation in the Knesset. We represent my people in Knesset”.

Why was Rabbi Meir Kahane outlawed from the Knesset while this Arab MK who joins in flotillas seeking to break Israels blockade of Hamas run Gaza and who calls for the end of a Jewish state is allowed to remain!!! Is America or someone else putting a gun to someones head???
#1 Not only was Rabbi Meir Kahane outlawed but murdered by the Israeli Mossad, while Arabsare free to threaten and terrorize. That’s Zionist Israel.
The fact that she can talk this way openly, while the rest of the world still holds onto the idea of the possibility of peace and of peace partners is ridiculous.
The world has their heads in the clouds.
That’s like suggesting America make North Korea its partner in peace and share the land.
Utterly absurd.
They want to destroy us.
They’ve said time and time again they want to destroy us.
Their actions show they want to destroy us.
Talking about and wishing for peace is simply futile.
They do not want to coexist with us and forcing a reconciliation won’t make it happen.
