31. #30, Roch, you can become an Israeli
David ,   Boston, USA   (04.10.07)
As far as I know anyone can apply for Israeli citizenship; however, it is only Jews that have the right to automatic citizenship. As far as I know, its no different than Western Countries. Maybe they are all a little different, but having automatic citizenship is not the same as applying for citizenship. You can become a Naturalized citizen in Israel.
32. Thanks David, feel stupid.
Roch ,   Albuquerque NM, USA   (04.10.07)
I should have not spoken out of ignorance. Thanks, I hope to look into it. But there is side of me that wishes Jews to move there before I do. I know it is croweded already in some areas. I hope the time comes when I can pay back the Jews for all they have done for me. Thanks again.
33. to # 30 and Citizenship
Rami ,   Nazareth, Israel   (04.10.07)
To become an Israeli citizen you either need to mary an Israeli woman or convert to judiasim, please note not any conversion in recognized by israel. Other than that you have no chance.
34. Jewish members of American Congress...
Marcel ,   Canada   (04.10.07)
are endangering the USA. If you agree with Orlev so you have to agree with Duke of the KKK. What makes me always smiling to the zionist speech is that it works only one way. Do not be surprised tomorrow if jews expelled out of the US. Zionist thinking is racist, clearly racist.
35. Israeli Arabs
bobsplace ,   Boonies, Texas, USA   (04.10.07)
This has always been a lingering question with me. I have been in Israel. I know the IDF and how the country works. From the my first visit in the early 1980's, I could see these members of the Knesset had only the extinction of Israel as a goal. Back then as now they hated Israel and a Jewish State....and you let them in your Gov't. It would never happen in the Republic of Texas....Sorry for my Stupidity....Y'all Be Well....
36. short term make them swear loyalty then change the system
zionist forever   (04.10.07)
The Bishra affair might be the most high profile event but for years the arab MKs have been openly supporting the palestian cause and attempting to vreate problems for the jewish state. Not long ago we had an arab MK calling the international community to place sanctions on Israel, the new arab cabinet minister that Peretz forced Olmert to accept he has refused shin bet to investigate his background for security reasons saying that the fact he was ellected is good enough. The new document that the arab sector recently came out with calling for Israel to officialy give up its stauts as a jewish state shows how wide the gap is getting. In the short term all public servants must be forced to swear loyalty to the jewish state and if an arab gets ellected to knesset then he must either swear this loyalty then they cannot take their seat. Longer term there needs to be a change in the politcal system itself fewer parties if there are fewer small parties then its very unlikley that there will be enough votes to get arabs into the knesset where they will be in a position of power. Work permits to all palestian labourers should be canceled it keeps them out the country and provides more jobs for Israels unemployed .. if your jewish and unemployed even a low paid bad job is better than nothing. The law stopping palestians who marry Israelis to gain citizenship must be canceled permamently .. there is no law that says your enetitled to citizenship if you marry and Israeli. Non of these things could be considered against any kind of international laws or apartheid they are legal and it will keep the arab influence in the country to a minimum.
37. #33, hmm thousands of Russian citizens would disagree
Danny   (04.10.07)
and non-Jewish Olim get the same absorption basket as Jewish ones. As someone who lives in Israel, you should know what you are saying is false.
38. #27 - you're the liar....
Andy ,   r.hasharon   (04.11.07)
anybody in the US gov't who talked about your your country the way these legislators talk about ours, made hate speeches and visits to enemy states, they'd find themselve in Guantanimo Bay quicker than you can say "new_york_looser." Orlev and Terry are right - we need to have these treasonous incitors out of our land. There's PLENTY of criticism that isn't an existential threat, like criticism from morons like you. Don't wory loner dude, Israel will handle our existential threats of which we have plenty - with help from good and decent Americans.
39. #30 - we appreciate your kind words....
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (04.11.07)
and we do trust true Christians in America. You are good friends to us and support us. Believe me, many people here know this and we are grateful.
40. ARAB MK Bishara Called SEVERAL Times for INTIFADA
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (04.11.07)
against Israel's Jewish innocents. The ugly, racist, rabid Jew-hate of ethnically cleansing 10,000 Gaza and north Samaria Jews violated Article 80 of the United Nations Charter, broke Israel's Basic Human Rights Law and Clause 9 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Patriotic Jews, including children, are brutally beaten and jailed. Jewish taxpayers who pay Arab MK Bishara's salary are FORCED to FINANCE TREASON! Arab Israeli MKs who are openly genocidal to Jews and support the violent overthrow of Israel are members of Israel's government! No other nation on earth allows such treason. Will Jews revolt against their forced financing of treason and Arab MK hate incitement to a second holocaust of Jews? YNETarticle on violent Arab Muslim Israeli riots in 2000 'Let's investigate everything' by Yaron London, 10/2/05 http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3150205,00.html The report offers a history of Arab demonstrations and protests that over time have become evermore extreme. The report also mentions several individuals that contributed, through words and through silence, to the progression from legitimate protest into a violent, destructive riot. Leaders of the Islamic Movement, wrote the Or Commission, fanned the flames by accusing Israel of planning to destroy the Islamic holy sites on the Temple Mount, and openly sympathizing with Hizbullah and al-Qaeda. MK Azmi Bishara (National Democratic Assembly) has said the Shiite militia should be a role model for the struggle with Israel, and has called several times for an intifada against Israel. Arab-Israeli leaders should be investigated The Or Commission- including one Arab justice and another member considered an important expert in Arab culture - rejected Bishara's evasive comments, and had this to say about the part Israeli Arab leaders played in the October, 2000 riots: Individuals such as the leaders of the Supreme Israeli Arab Monitoring Committee, the Islamic Movement, and Knesset Members Tibi, Bishara, Dehamshe and Zahalka were full partners to the outbreak of riots in October, 2000, and therefore also bear responsibility for the deaths of 13 of their brethren." Jerusalem Post.com Sept. 25 2005 'Column One: Israel's disengaged establishment' by Caroline Glick: "...recall what happened five years ago. Following months of increased violence and extremism in the Arab-Israeli sector incited directly by the Palestinian Authority, the Israeli Islamic Movement and the Arab members of Knesset, violent riots seized the Arab sector of Israel in October 2000. During the week of riots, Arab Israelis threw rocks and Molotov cocktails at Israeli civilian cars throughout the country. Israeli motorists were dragged out of their cars on Highway 65 along Wadi Ara and beaten. An Israeli motorist was murdered when Arabs from Jasser a-Zarka threw a rock at his windshield as he drove down the coastal highway..."
41. Rami, it is not resignation that will harm Israel;
AK   (04.11.07)
it is what Bishara did before his resignation that is being questioned. Bishara’s behavior was treasonous and cannot be defended. His public statements are a public record and speak for themselves.
