Discussion on Arab Representation in Government

Do you think that whoever gets elected, uh, has to sit with Arabs in the government,

or is that not an option?

What do you think?

In my opinion, no.

Why?

Because I think you can't trust them.

And I don't want Arabs deciding the decisions of our country, in my opinion.

Tell me, when, God forbid, you go to the hospital—

Mm-hmm.

and there's an Arab doctor, Arab nurse, or Arab orderly, do you trust him?

I'd replace him, but at that moment, I can't not trust him.

So, yes.

So the only reason you're willing to let an Arab touch you

on your body or examine your health is because at that moment you can't say

Sorry, I'm not willing.

No, also because then it still wouldn't be my choice, but I think that,

uh, I don't. I don't trust them, like, no, not their opinions

Theirs. I think, like, a lot—most of them don't want us

to be here at all. So I think it's hard to let them be

in government or in hospitals or, by the way, in

hospitals, like, the fact that they have easier access to becoming

doctors.

I think that's not—not okay either.

Bus drivers too.

I don't know either, like.

And pharmacists.

And food servers. They could poison your food or

cooks.

They could do anything.

This is a Jewish state, and I share your desire that it

remain a Jewish state here,

but this isn't the way.

Okay.

So, what do you think is the way?

First of all, understand that a lot of Arabs live here,

a lot of Arabs, a million and a half, soon there'll be two million, and at least those, I'll start

with the easy cases. At least those with blue ID cards,

who are Israeli citizens, are equal to you and me.

They have equal rights because they're citizens, and you have no

other choice. You can't expel them. You can't decide

where they're allowed or not allowed to work, where they're allowed or not allowed

to spend their free time. Because even if you don't trust them or think it's

wrong, the cost of what you're saying now is an apartheid

state. It's a racist state where there are

two kinds of citizens, one with rights and one without rights,

And that's much worse than a state that isn't purely

Jewish.

But those are different rights. Like, there are countries, if I go to another country and want to live there,

I won't have the same rights as citizens there.

Who says? Do you

think that's the case? That if you were now a citizen of another country,

a citizen, not a tourist or

an infiltrator, a citizen—

No, but—

So because you're Jewish, it's okay to treat you differently?

No, but I think that in the Jewish state, um, Jews should be

in the government, not Arabs.

Like, that's what you think the law is.

So I return to the fact that I share the desire for Israel to remain a

Jewish state. A Jewish state means a state that is home to every

Jew

in the world, that has the Law of Return. Every Jew can move here

and live here and become a citizen here. A Jewish state is a state

whose nationality is Jewish, whose culture is Hebrew,

where schools teach Jewish holidays and the Jewish tradition, even

in secular schools. A Jewish state is a state

that, intelligently and responsibly and in a

democratic manner

It seeks to preserve the Jewish majority among its citizens

by not annexing millions of Palestinians from Judea and Samaria or Gaza, among other things,

so that you won't have a problem

with another five million people you don't trust.

But after saying all that, do you really want

to live in a Jewish state that isn't democratic?

In a Jewish state with an apartheid regime?

In a Jewish state where you, me, and every Jew here

have certain rights,

and as for Arabs, you or you and I or I don't know who will decide what

they're allowed to do, what they're forbidden to do because they're Arabs?

I think we should find a solution that gives us our place and them theirs,

and not necessarily... Like, no, no.

So you're in favor of transfer.

No, no, no, not transfer. Like, I know most of them live

either in Gaza or the West Bank.

Or in Jaffa, Acre, Haifa, or Beersheba.

What will you do with them? They were born here, they're citizens, they have

a blue ID card like you and me. What will you do with them?

What will I do with them? I'll kill them all.

Okay, and how do you suggest we kill them?
