Former Balad chairman Azmi Bishara.


Bishara: Establishment of Israel 'armed robbery'


"There is one other place in the world where apartheid is still [alive], which is in Palestine," Bishara said in a video address to the "Israeli Apartheid Week" conference in Toronto. "It is actually the biggest armed robbery in the history of the 20th century."


Bishara fled Israel in June 2007 after being grilled twice by investigators, and later resigned his Knesset seat

Police said he would be arrested if he returned to Israel on charges of espionage for Hizbullah

The former MK allegedly gave the Hizbullah predictions, assessments and recommendations about Israel's political echelon, army and public opinion during the Second Lebanon War

In addition to supplying information to a Hizbullah intelligence agent, Bishara allegedly held contacts with intelligence officials from other countries

the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) said, also received detailed missions from Hizbullah, which he carried out.
