A leading Arab-Israeli journalist is calling on Arab citizens of the Jewish state to reassess the need for representatives in the Knesset.

It took only a day for Jamal Zahalka, one of three Arab lawmakers suspended for incitement to terror against Israelis, to resume his campaign denying Jewish rights to Judaism's holiest site.

Many Palestinians dream of the day they, too, will have a Knesset, a true parliament, where leaders are held accountable. For now, it's just a pipe dream.

A painfully small minority of Arab-Israelis seems to understand that the best way to solve a problem is to speak up, not silently acquiesce to attacks on Jewish men, women and children.

Employing defensive measures to preserve Israel's democracy, PM Netanyahu is seeking legal venues through which terror-supporting lawmakers could be ousted from parliament.

Netanyahu is supported across the political spectrum in demanding that Arab Knesset members who console the families of Palestinian terrorists have no place in Israel's parliament.
