u.s.   (02.25.08)
2. Bravo!
Sue ,   US   (02.25.08)
Nazis, Nazi propaganda or swastikas should not be allowed in the Jewish homeland.
3. to 1
er der   (02.25.08)
the 3rd paragraph: "According to the newly instated law, advocating, supporting, or rallying for either Nazi or ~~RACIST PRINCIPLES~~ will now be deemed illegal in Israel. "
4. LET'S SEE NOW..........................................
IERGLIB DRAWDE   (02.25.08)
60 YEARS AFTER IT'S ESTABLISHMENT AS A STATE, IT OCCURED TO OUR BRAIN TRUSTS LEADERSHIP THAT SOME LEGISLATION SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO BEAR REGARDING NATZIISM ? I'D SAY THE GUINESS BOOK OF RECORDS SHOULD BE NOTIFIED REGARDING A NEW LEGISLATIVE RECORD FOR DELAY OR EXTENDED STUPIDITY !
5. Hilarious!
AM   (02.25.08)
Racism oulawed in Israel?!? Did they dismantle the state alltogether...?
6. Gee, where have we heard those words before?
Levy ,   Israel   (02.25.08)
‘Israel never instated such legislation, because never did it think it necessary,’ Seems the government has been saying that far too much following recent waves of Soviet immigration and corruption - at the expense of the rest of the citizens' taxmoney and civil liberties. #1 isn't a racist, he/she is simply right. Ex-Soviet goyim are generally not ethnically different from Ashkenazi Jews, just ethically inferior.
7. nazism and 'racism'
elliot ,   point roberts,usa   (02.25.08)
nazism is not just another form of political incorrectness---hopefully 'racism' is defined separately and punished more severely--if not then it's more discouraging news from Israel
8. IT'S A STUPID LAW THAT ARABS WILL USE AGAINST US
(02.25.08)
9. not very becoming of a pseudo-democracy
american oleh ,   Susya, Israel   (02.25.08)
What's next on the freedom of speech hit list? Next thing you know, it'll be a crime to shout, "Movie!" in a crowded firehouse.
10. nazism
elliot ,   point roberts,usa   (02.25.08)

11. Yisrael Beteinu opposes outlawing racism...big surprise
David ,   Los Angeles   (02.25.08)
12. racism made a criminal offence in israel
jon ,   jaffa   (02.25.08)
oxymoronic
13. NAZISM AND RACISM OUTLAWED IN ISRAEL
Roy Weston ,   Vancouver, Canada   (02.25.08)
One has to wondered by Nazism and Racism should ever have to be outlawed in a place like Israel. Of all people, the Israelis should be aware of the terrible price to be paid for Nazism and Racism and to have these two scourges of history now so prevalent in Israel that a law has to be passed to make them illegal, makes one wonder if there is any place left on earth that can be considered free of Nazism and Racism.
14. To # 11 Go to sleep with your politically correct friends
(02.26.08)
15. Very pleasing news
Johnny ,   Stockholm Sweden   (02.26.08)
Nazis shall have no rights among civilized people. Sentece for a convicted nazi can only be one.
16. Old news
Elchonon ,   Chevron   (02.26.08)
Theyt used the racism law against kahane.. and then discriminated against him.. #3 I can talk however I want about russian goyim not in this country.. as for russian goyim IN this ccountry.. they should be deported.
17. Does this mean that Israel ceases to exist?
Arun ,   India   (02.26.08)
...because of its racist and bigoted nature?
18. Quick Answer
Dovid Ben Leizer ,   Novi Michigan USA   (02.26.08)
Find them, convict them, deport them. Nazism is a disease and cannot be cured by jail time. Am Yisrael Chi Dovid Ben Leizer Hakohain Lt.Col.Ret. Novi michigan USA OMNI-BERATUS
19. WHAT SHEER IDIOCY!! CURRENT islam IS THE NEW NAZISM
hymie zoltsveis ,   NYC, NY, USA   (02.26.08)
WHY BOTHER OUTLAWING NAZISM, when ignoring the successors to, and survivors of Hitler---the radical muslime?? Check your history....the muslimes were aligned with the Nazis---and continue to be neo-Nazis to this day. While Hitler and HIS Nazis were killed, the muslime continues to be no different than the Nazi. Nazis are simply losers. they must be watched and controlled, BUT WHY NOT OUTLAW ALL RADICAL islime in ISRAEL?? Throw out or imprison ALL muslims that preach war against Israel. BIG DEAL---the gutless government outlaws Nazism, but actually SUPPORTS anti-Zionism, both in Gaza and the "West Bank, " and in Israel, proper. Come on guys....grow a spine and use it. Stop being liberal fools.
20. Is this real?
PW ,   US   (02.26.08)
If Israel wants to declare Nazism a crime then why is PM Olmert allowed to conspire with enemies (Palestinians) to destroy Israel and why are the supreme court judges allowed to continuously rule against the Jews in favour of the Palestinians?
21. Huh...whowhat!!!
Spinner ,   World   (02.26.08)
How can Israel of all places "outlaw" racism? It's the most racist state that would consider itself a democracy!! It's like # 12 said...it's an oxymoron!! Better yet...it's like #8 said!!! Looks like a shot in the foot!! Idiot racist people should not be allow to (insert adjective here)!! Mazal tov...mabrook...congrats!!! (LOL!!!)
22. this bill should have been passed decades ago
zionist forever   (02.26.08)
Its forbiden to play music by Wagner is banned on Israeli radio because he was Hitlers favorite composer. So we have laws banning certain music played on the radio because the composer was a big fan of Hitler but we dont have any official laws against Nazisim. A bill like this should have been drawn up decades ago if not because anybody believed that there would be Nazi rallies but out of respect and morrality to say we the jewish state will not let any kind of Nazi rallies.
23. if you outlaw nazism and racisim
israel   (02.26.08)
then you will have to outlaw the whole state of israel . it is built on nazisim and racisim , I have lived in many places in the world and in some places i have heard of racizim and in others i have heard of nazisim , but i never realy understood what they were or what they meant until i came to live in israel , which is full of both ... take ( liberman ) for an example , he is both a nazi and a huge racist pig
24. amazing such a law has to be passed in the jewish state
Chanan ,   US   (02.26.08)
ive never been suprised to hear about neo nazis in europe but when i heard about the succa burnings nd beaitn gof jews in israel i couldn't believe it. It's about time the government takes action against these evil people
25. Nazism
zznhl   (02.26.08)
Kinda' ironic that Israel is one of the last civilised countries to outlaw this disease.
26. Good......next law -----> the death penalty
Talula ,   Israel   (02.26.08)
We need it like never before.
27. It's a very tricky political phenomenon
Ypip ,   Canada   (02.26.08)
That the whole world needs to be careful of regardless your family was from Germany, Russia, Dafur, South Africa, and the list goes on-and-on. Ban it!
28. Do Your Homework ...
Craig Crawford ,   Laguna Niguel USA   (02.26.08)
It's too late ... "NAZI" stood for "National SOCIALIST Party" ... just as the USSR stood for United Soviet SOCIALIST Republic ... The Labor Party, Kadima Party, etc. are FILLED with Socialists ... Socialists first try to bury religion, then the middle-class ... and then twist and "Use Democracy" until it is a few ruling over the many. Just look at the political trends in Israel (and the US) today ... The Bible has much to say in describing the generation who will "forsake Gaza" (Zephaniah 2:1-7) and will bring "the Day of the Lord's Wrath" and "the Time of Jacob's (Israel's) Trouble" upon Israel ... and the whole world. Turn back to God ... and to His Word ... the time draws near. Grace and Shalom, www.alphanewsdaily.com www.theprophecies.com
29. Quick build prisons for 5 million Israelis
Chanalau, Tova ,   London, UK   (02.26.08)
If racism is outlawed then Israel will have to put all of its police force, all its soldiers and 4/5th of its population behind bars (and not the sort where they sell beer). For hypocrisy Israel deserves 'douze points'.
30. But Shas encourages Homophobia
Simon ,   TA Israel   (02.26.08)
Yet at the same time the Shas party regulary issues homophobic statements in an attempt to incite violence to the gay and lesbian community.
