Timeline
Tawfik Toubi (توفيق طوبي, תופיק טובי, 11 May 1922 – 12 March 2011) was an Israeli Arab communist politician.
He was the last surviving member of the first Knesset.
Tawfik Toubi was married to Olga Touma and one of his sons, Elias Toubi, studied medicine in Leningrad.
He is also the second longest-serving Knesset member of all time, over 41 years of office, all consecutive.
Toubi was born in Haifa to an Arab Orthodox family in 1922, he is the son of Elias and Alice (born Khoury).
and was educated at the Mount Zion School in Jerusalem.
He joined the Palestine Communist Party in 1941 and later was one of the founders of the League for National Liberation, which originally opposed partition of Palestine but later came to accept it, after the Soviet Union indicated that it would support partition.
After the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, he demanded that the inhabitants of al-Birwa be allowed to return to their homes, a request refused by David Ben-Gurion.
He was elected to the Knesset in Israel's first elections in 1949 as a member of Maki.
a Communist, an Arab who sits
in that House by full right...
That's democracy, not always easy,
but if we don't understand this part,
we haven't gotten anything at all.
Toubi raised the issue of the right of return for Palestinian refugees on at least two occasions in the Knesset.
He was re-elected in 1951, 1955, 1959 and 1961.
In 1965 he was involved in a breakaway from Maki to form Rakah, and was voted back into the Knesset on the new party's list later in the same year.
After the 1967 war, he requested from Moshe Dayan that the inhabitants of Yalo be allowed to return to their homes, but it too was denied.
In 1976, he was elected deputy secretary general of the new Hadash party, an alliance of Rakah and several other smaller left-wing and Israeli Arab parties.
He is regarded as father of the 'state of all its citizens' formula, which he brought up when the Knesset debated the Basic Law in 1985.
It now appears in the Meretz platform, and is supported by the left, the post-Zionists and all the Arab MKs.
He is seen less favorably by the Israeli right, although he is remembered as more of a respected adversary than a militant anti-Zionist (such as Azmi Bishara).
He served as Hadash's secretary-general from 1989 to 1993, and was elected to the Knesset on Hadash's list in 1977, 1981, 1984 and 1988, before resigning from the Knesset in July 1990 and being replaced by Tamar Gozansky.
Toubi was also publisher and editor of Arab language Communist paper Al Ittihad.
He retired from the Knesset in 1990, after a 41-year tenure, and died on 12 March 2011, at age 88.
Toubi is remembered as one of the two MKs (the other being Meir Vilner) who exposed the Kafr Qasim massacre, and is seen by the Israeli left as a fighter against racism.
''Toubi was a valued and impressive parliamentarian that left his mark on the Israeli parliament.
He was a member of a confronting movement but nevertheless insisted on respecting the rules of the game and knew how to apply them to himself in practice.''
In 2012, the discourses and articles of Tawfik Toubi were published in Israel by his wife Olga and his son Elias.
Tawfik Toubi is accepted, honored and rewarded by the Israeli establishment.
