      Arab Parliamentarian Compares Kadima with Murderers


      Deputy Speaker of the House and Knesset Member Ahmad Tibi (United Arab Party) said that a vote for the Kadima party is “a vote for a bullet in a child's chest.”
      Knesset Member Uriel Ariel (Jewish Home) responded, “A vote for Tibi is a vote for murderers of women and children, and one doesn’t listen to Arafat’s advisors.”

      Tibi’s remarks were made Monday during the Knesset’s Central Election Committee meeting, which is expected to disqualify the Arab Balad party from running in the upcoming Knesset elections for the party’s refusal to recognize Israel as the Jewish Homeland.
