Ahmad Tibi, a Palestinian member of Israel's parliament, has received death threats after tearing up a picture of Jewish extremist Meir Kahane, the MK's office said Saturday. On Wednesday, Tibi tore up a photo of the extremist Rabbi while addressing the Knesset, Israeli media reported. Several death threats have been posted on Tibi's Facebook account and sent to his email, his office said. "Your end is close you dirty Arab," and "Your end will be genocide, same as what happened to us in Nazi death camps," were some of the reported threats. The incident was apparently in response to an event a day earlier which saw Israeli Knesset member Michael Ben-Ari publicly tear up a Hebrew Christian Bible. Israeli daily Maariv said Ben-Ari, of the right-wing National Union party, said "this vile book has caused the death of millions of Jews and sending it is rude and provocative missions work by the church." Throwing away the annotated Hebrew Old and New Testaments, he said: "The place of this book and its senders is the dustbin of history," according to the report. Meir Kahane founded the far-right Kach party, which has been banned under Israeli anti-terrorism laws. Baruch Goldstein, an Israeli-American who murdered 29 Palestinians in a 1994 Hebron massacre, was a devotee of Kahane.
