The Knesset is a nest of fascists . Those sane Israelis who contest it through the legal processes deserve our full sympathy. Ha'aretz itself is under threat from neoZionism.
All Israeli citizens have full and equal rights, denying citizenship to foreign Islamic Imperialist swine in no way effects the democratic nature of Israel.
What a crock of (*)(*)(*)(*) you are completely incapable of speaking the truth that has nothing to do with interracial marriages and everything to do with them not wanting illegal immigrants living in their country. It has absolutely nothing to do with the rights of Israeli citizens.
Impressive dodging of the language filter. Looks like someone hit a nerve. I guess you are for closing the US southern border since you are so anti immigrant right?
All that does is just to dodge the point that Israel tossed out 80% of its Arab population, and now claims that whatever racist prejudices might be applied by Israel against them do not count because they are not Israeli citizens. This was EXACTLY South Africas strategy for creating the black homelands? ; the Bantustans. To claim as a defence that Jews and Israeli-Arabs are treated equally within Israel is a clear obfuscation. And even THAT is not true: Israel views herself as a Jewish state. The Arab Israelis are therefore, BY DEFINITION, subordinate citizens. http://ww4report.com/node/1965 Senior Arab Israeli lawmaker Mohammed Barakeh on Sunday strongly condemned the High Court's ruling banning Israeli Arabs and their Palestinian spouses from living together, saying it "gives racism a shady alibi." Note, the law does not prevent Israeli Jews from living with their Palestinians spouses.. http://www.knesset.gov.il/description/eng/eng_mimshal_yesod2.htm#2 Amendment 9 to the 'Basic Law: The Knesset and the Law of Political Parties', states that a political party "may not participate in the elections if there is in its goals or actions a denial of the existence of the State of Israel as the state of the Jewish people. This means that it may deny the State of Israel as a state of Arab-israelis. http://www.adalah.org/newsletter/eng/dec06/tasawor-mostaqbali.pdf The Law of Return is Israeli legislation, passed on 5 July 1950, that gives Jews the right of return and settlement in Israel and gain citizenship. It does not grant the same right to Israel-born Arabs. The Jewish National Fund stipulates that only Jews can buy, mortgage or lease JNF land. Since this includes land acquired from absentees (= Arabs who were subject to ethnic cleansing from Israel), there is obviously a gross prejudice. The defence to the above usually If I were given the choice, I would rather live in Israel as a second class citizen than as a first class citizen in Cairo, Gaza, Amman or Ramallah. Which is of course a classic strawman discussion.
Klipkap , methinks you're flogging a dead horse . The Quack (doctor) ) is too closed minded / far too deeply entrenched / brainwashed , to understand a single word you've said. (wink) cheers. ....

The question bears repeating when Israelis start talking about foreigners and yet they are controlling and occupying the land the Palestinians (the foreign muslim imperialists I'm assuming The Doctor was referring to) have lived on for hundreds of years (before many of those Israelis immediate ancestors moved to Israel, in fact). Since The Doctor didn't refer to any Palestinians as non-foreigners, presumably all of the Palestinian land is actually Israeli in his opinion (although why they would want Gaza?!).
