Tibi claims Israeli food
According to Channel 12 News, MK Ahmad Tibi has now claimed the famous, iconic, Israeli food "ptetitim", also known as "Orez Ben Gurion", or Ben Gurion Rice, as originally Palestinian and appropriated by the Israelis.
Back in the early days of the State when the economy was not doing great and there was a shortage of foods, in what is called the days of Austerity, Prime Minister David Ben Gurion approached Osem and asked them to come up with a cheaper alternative to rice. They took the task to heart and created the petitim, a baked pasta type of food that was made to look like rice. It was given the name officially as petitim but has also always been known in Israel by the name Orez Ben Gurion - Ben Gurion's Rice.
So according to Ahmad Tibi, not only did Ben Gurion steal the Land of Israel from the Palestinians, but also stole the iconic petitim.
Tibi claims this is just a form of maftul, or couscous, which is a Palestinian dish. it clearly is not even though one of the commonly produced shapes of petitim is small round balls sort of like maftul/couscous. I guess just like I have not eaten maftul (though I have eaten couscous), Tibi must not have eaten Petitim if he thinks they are the same. He must have gotten confused by the name on the bag that describes it as couscous because of the shape...
Whatever the source might be, bon apetit

Tibi for the full right wing government
did they sell the public a bill of goods?
The Likud, UTJ and Shas want to keep their good working relationship with MK Ahmed Tibi (TAAL). To that end they are trying to convince coalition members to support Tibi for the slot of Deputy Speaker of the Knesset, a position held by Tibi for a long time, and traditionally held by a member of the Opposition (in addition to other deputies by coalition members).
Some in the Likud such as Tali Gottleib are opposed to supporting Tibi to continue in this position, as Ministers Smotritch and Ben Gvir (and presumably others in their parties) are also opposed to this.
Were the Likud and Shas and UTJ just selling their voters a bill of goods when they campaigned on the formation of a "full right wing government"? Were their voters largely hoodwinked?
I am pretty sure I am going to get tired of pointing these types of situations out, so I will probably stop pretty soon, but for now, this is immediately after formation of the government and this is when they should be most promoting their full right wing government, not already giving in to outside pressures and taking other considerations into account. Tibi might help the Haredim with some religious legislation as he always has but he wont help with right wing legislation.

Quote of the Day
You are in the most racist place in the world..
-- MK Ahmed Tibi (Joint Arab List), to 6 foreign Arab "pro Israel" journalists he saw walking around in the Knesset.. Tibi refused to explain and ran off supposedly to vote on something in the plenum. The journalists later expressed regret at Tibi's words saying he should have explained and questioning how it can be the most racist place yet he serves in the Knesset..
I can think of some more racist places, even if the Knesset, and Israeli society, is far from perfect on this issue.

We will not be partners in an attempt to dismiss Moshe Gafni. he was born to serve as head of the Knesset Finance Committee. Gafni has never been caught saying anything racist.

Proposed Law: Compensation for Flights Canceled due to Corona
MK Uri Maklev (UTJ) is proposing a law that would freeze a law proposal recently proposed by MK Ahmed Tibi (UAL).
MK Tibi recently proposed a law that would grant compensation to travelers who were unable to travel during the period of Corona and thereby lost the value of their plane tickets.
MK Maklev is now proposing to freeze that compensation for a period of 9 months to allow the affected businesses a recovery period. If they would have to pay all that compensation now, while still struggling due to Corona, it would be too much of a financial burden for them to bear.
Tibi says he is going to fight hard for his law proposal in the Knesset committee.
source: Kikar
Being that Tibi is in the Opposition and Maklev is in the Coalition, it seems likely that no matter how hard Tibi fights for his law right now, Maklev's is the more likely to go into effect.

Quote of the Day
Because the polls indicate that the right bloc will grow under Gideon Saar, it is bad for me that Saar should win.... whatever happens, after the elections we will do everything to replace the rule of the right..
-- MK Ahmad Tibi (UAL)
so in a backhanded way, Tibi supports Netanyahu in the Likud primary election tomorrow. If this went the other way, Netanyahu would surely use such a statement against his opponent, as he has many times in the past. He has a killer attitude that drives him and has made him such a success over the years. Saar should be using this against Netanyahu, marketing that Tibi and the Arab parties want Netanyahu to win. He clearly doesn't have that same win at all costs attitude. I am not sure if that is good or bad...

אני מבקש מכלי התקשורת והעיתונאים להפסיק עם ההכללות. זה ששגב ריגל עבור האיראנים לא הופך את כל השרים והחכים היהודים לחשודים. תפסיקו עם ההסתה.אנא מכם.— Ahmad Tibi (@Ahmad_tibi) June 19, 2018
I request of the media and journalists to stop with the generalizations. The fact that Segev spied for the Iranians does not turn all the Jewish ministers and Members of Knesset into suspects. Stop with the incitement. Please.
Ahmed Tibi is genuinely a funny guy.

Proposed Law: returning terrorist bodies
Today MKs Ahmed Tibi and Osama Saadi (UAL) submitted a law proposal that would limit the amount fo time the government can hold the body of a killed terrorist to a maximum of 5 days from the time the body is identified.
In the proposal they explain that holding the bodies of terrorists is leftover from the '70s and is damaging to religious sensitivities and is degrading to the Palestinians.
source: NRG
obviously this won't pass. It is even a tremendous chtuzpah to propose it. Holding the bodies is damaging to religious sensitivities but them murdering innocent civilians is not?

The Israeli government is the most extreme it has been since Shamir, it's so extreme that Bibi is the moderate ...The most Netanyahu can offer Abbas is far from the minimum Abbas can accept ..
-- MK Ahmed Tibi
looks like they should have accepted the better offers that were made to them previously by other prime ministers... the folly of holding out for a better offer - that offer might never come...
Anyways, is there any Israeli that could ever offer them enough that they could accept it?

We are owners of this place
-- MK Ahmed Tibi, when visiting Har Habayit
obviously Tibi's declaration aroused the anger and responses of a number of MKs. My response would be that Tibi, as representative of the Israeli parliament, has announced that Israel is the owner of Har Habayit. If "we" ois Israel, great. If "we" is Palestine or Jordan, then what is he doing serving in the Israeli Knesset?
