Bishara Responds with Defiance to Charges 15:26 Sep 18, '06 / 25 Elul 5766

(IsraelNN.com) MK Azmi Bishara announced on Monday that when he and his fellow Arab lawmakers traveled to Syria and Lebanon, they were aware they might face criminal charges for their actions. Bishara stated that Israel will not dictate which Arabs he may or may not visit.

Bishara stated that his contacts with officials in the two countries are an asset to Israel, adding that he and his colleagues did not inquire as to the well-being of Israel's captive soldiers since they are aware that talks are taking place via official channels. In addition, he stated that they were unable to receive an audience with the appropriate people regarding the issue of the captive soldiers.

Is he so defiant because he knows, nothing is going to happen to him?
