With Friends Like These: More Arab Knesset Members Meet With Hamas Official, Praise Islamic Terrorism


By Moran Azulay – “After recent reports of a meeting between MK Hanin Zoabi and a Hamas official it is now revealed that two United Arab List-Ta’al MKs had met with the figure earlier.

Masud Ganaim and Ibrahim Sarsur visited the home of Hamas parliamentary speaker Aziz Dwaik, 64, to offer their support after he was released from an Israeli prison in June 2009. Dwaik was arrested again on Thursday.

The Hamas man was first arrested in August 2006 by IDF forces in Ramallah as part of a series of arrests in the wake of the abduction of Gilad Shalit. A geography professor, Dwaik was convicted of membership in a terrorist organization in 2008. He was sentenced to three years in prison, two years of probation and was ordered to pay a NIS 5,000 fine (roughly $1,318).

After his release, and several days prior to Zoabi’s visit, the Hamas leader met with Ganaim and Sarsur as well as former Rahat council head and senior official in the Islamic Movement’s northern branch Jumaa Qsasi.

The MKs are claiming the meeting was legitimate as the people concerned were ‘political figures fighting against the occupation.’ MK Ganaim said, ‘We visited the house together with several other members of the Palestinian council. Hamas was legally and legitimately elected in what the whole world admitted were just elections and we went to visit the officials after they were released from jail.’

Referring to claims they were in contact with figures who were jailed for aiding terror, Ganaim said: ‘As political figures they should never have been arrested. Our arrival there was not in violation of the law. I, as a Knesset member or a private person, am allowed to visit a person who was wrongly arrested. It has never been proven they were involved in the alleged activity. They have a right as occupied individuals to fight for life in dignity.’

Likud MK and chairman of the Knesset house committee Yariv Levin said in response: ‘The Arab MKs are competing who is the greatest traitor and terrorist sponsor while using the weakness of the legal system. The Attorney General must take a firm hand and put an end to the parade of MKs spitting in the State’s face and protect Israel and the Knesset from the terror sponsors amongst us.'” Read more.

Member of Israel’s Knesset, Ibrahim Sarsur, Supporting Terrorism (Video):

Israeli Knesset Member Sarsur: “The faith sprouted in Mecca. The Caliphate and the end of days will sprout from Jerusalem and in the land of Palestine… This will be the center of the Caliphate. And more than that, this land will be the land of resurrection… Yes, there is a force in Southern Lebanon that proudly raised its head to challenge; the call for rebellion against the American and Israeli supremacy, the project that carries the seeds of dignity, the project that is based on Islamic pillars and foundations and has a vision to manage the war with the enemy Israel…”
