MK: 'No peace without an end to the Zionist regime'

And we let shmucks like this sit in the Knesset....

Zionism is going to come to an end, as it “has no future in the Middle East,” Balad chairman Jamal Zahalka said in an interview with The Jerusalem Post on Sunday.

“I am not a Zionist, I am an anti-Zionist,” he said.

Israel claims that it is a democratic country and that Arabs have rights and even Knesset members, Zahalka said. But Israeli Arabs are unhappy with this democracy and will continue to demand their rights, he said.

Zahalka sees the conflict as unsolvable as long as Israel exists as a Jewish state. At a recent conference in Canada he exclaimed: “In the long term there is no chance for democracy, peace and freedom without ending the Zionist regime.”

...

“Give me my land and take your democracy with you,” he said addressing Israel, telling the Post this was the theme of one of his speeches he gave in Canada, titled, “Debunking the myth of Israeli democracy.”

Zahalka expressed frustration that nothing is happening now – “no negotiations and no resistance” – and emphasized that there is a need to act. The real danger is the efforts by Israel to marginalize the Palestinian issue and normalize the occupation, he said.

In many other countries, people like Zahalka would be sitting in jail (or worse) for treason. In Israel, we put him in the Knesset.

What could go wrong?
