10 Things You Didn't Know About The Arabs In Israel's Parliament We're here at Israel's Parliament, the Kinesic, and today I'm going to show you 10 things you'd never believe have happened here. Israel's Parliament has existed since the beginning of the year, and it's been a long time since the beginning of the year. Israel's Parliament has existed since the very first election in 1949. Today, it's home to 120 elected officials, both Arabs and Jews, who make the loss. The political parties form governments by joining with other parties to get the necessary number of seats, a minimum of 61. Arabs and Jews have served in the Kinesid since the very first election. And yes, yes, they get along on a day-to-day basis, and our friends and colleagues. The first Kinesid included Taufik Tobi, Amin Salim Jarzura, and Safidina Zobi. All of whom played a critical role in Israeli-Arab's government institutions. Safidina Zobi, from Nazareth, was not only in the first Kinesid, but was re-elected six more times. And he also worked with the Haganah, the pre-state militia, that later become the IDF. Tobi was the last surviving member of the first Kinesid, and he also the second longest-serving member of Kinesid in history, having served 41 years. Tobi was widely respected by Jewish and Arab colleagues, with Israel's current president even energizing him. Now check this, everything in Israel's Kinesid is in Hebrew and Arabic. Dozens of Israeli-Arab's work every day in Kinesid, and really in all government institutions. All members of Kinesid received monthly salary, which is paid by the Israeli tax-periods in full. Yes, yes, both arts and Jewish citizens. Currently there are 15 members of Kinesid that are Arab Israelis, and they serve in both Jewish and Arab parties. In fact, in the 23rd Kinesid, the Arab joint list was the third largest political block, with 15 seats. Arab M.K.s also serve in a variety of leadership positions, and on committees. For example, M.K. Mansura Abbas, deputy chairman of Kinesid. M.K.Aid, the two Muslim men, is the chair of the special committee on welfare and labor affairs, and M.K. Yusuf Jabbarin, who was the chair of special committee for the right of child. Israeli Arabs, like all Israeli-Arabists, are permitted free speech. Even criticize the state within the halls of Kinesid, and even doing it in Arabic. Finally, in 2016, M.K. Ahmad Dibi, who was chairing a debate in the Kinesid, actually expelled a Jewish minister from Speaker's podium and the planum hall. The Reqazir, the Reqmeh, the Mead of Khan. Whether one agrees with the criticism or not, it is unquestionable that Israeli democracy is active and robust. Yalla, stay tuned for more surprising facts about the Israeli Arab community. You
