1. I assume this applies to Arab MK's.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (07.14.08)
How about Islamic clerics like Sheikh Salah? And just to be fair, could it apply to violent "peace activists"? Here's a good subject for debate - could the Religion of Peace be defined as a terrorist organization?
2. Why does this need a bill? They should be ousted head first
Miriam ,   Israel   (07.14.08)
without any questions asked. The Arab MKs and Beilin should be chaperoning them back to their terrorist country - them and their entire families.
3. citizenship
Aharon ,   Holon   (07.14.08)
Its about time trators should be booted out!!!!
4. NO! don't revoke, hang them you LOSERS!!!!!
Israel   (07.14.08)
When are we going to wake up!!!!!
5. LOOK
YITZAK BEN SHLOMO   (07.14.08)
Did it took this long to come up with this legislation. Do tell was no law related to REVOCATION OF CITIZENSHIP OF ISRAEL. For LEGISLATION like these to be EFFECIENT AND EFFECTIVE, there must be DEATH SENTENCE as a PUNISHMENT for TERRORIST PIGS ! MANDATORY DEATH PUNISHMENT ! WITHOUT EXCLUDING THE AND THE ARABS ! NO COMPROMISE POLICY and NO RETURN Or EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS AS WELL !!!
6. Finally! Better late than never.
Millie ,   Israel   (07.14.08)
7. Yossi Beilin sided against Israel of course!
redmike ,   Tel Aviv   (07.14.08)
8. Stop the outrageous behavior of the “Israeli” Arabs.
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (07.14.08)
While the police could end the atmosphere of lawlessness by enforcing the laws already on the books, the government can take positive steps to reverse the trends toward radicalization of Israeli Arab society. It can pass regulations barring anti-Zionist propaganda in public school curricula and sanctioning the immediate firing of public school teachers who teach students to hate Israel. It can suspend government funding of municipalities and local councils that do not enforce building codes. It can set up well-paid community police comprised of loyal citizens. The government can prosecute Arab politicians and leaders who treat with the enemy for treason. More about the Israeli Arabs at : http://xrl.us/bi3hx
9. Cool beans, just make sure everyone gets a fair trial and
Rami ,   Nazareth, Israel   (07.14.08)
that it is applied even handedly to jews and arabs
10. Does this apply on
truth   (07.14.08)
a jew who commit an act of terror against arabs!!!!!Hypocrite
11. Can Ehud Olmert's citizenship be revolked?
Judah ,   Golan Height,ISRAEL   (07.14.08)
He wants to give away the Golan, Judea and Samaria. Is this not a traitor?
12. Bad law
Ariel Ben Yohanan ,   Kfar Tapuah, Efraim   (07.14.08)
This law will be used against Jews just like the corrupt electoral commeettee outlawed Kach. Under this law anyone, especially religious Jews who want a Torah state with Torah institutions in Eretz Israel will be considered a criminals: not good.
13. in that case,olmert should be the first one revoked
chaim ,   brooklyn ny   (07.14.08)
14. Does it include Pollard, Baruch Goldstein & Yigal Amir?
Ami Israel   (07.14.08)
or is this one of those "democratic laws" for only some of our minority citizens? What is the real story here?
15. #12 please explain ..
redmike ,   Tel Aviv   (07.14.08)
The law specifies those who are convicted of "violating national allegiance, treason, espionage, committing act of terror" and almost every country has similar laws, even non-democratic ones. Please explain what is meant by a "Torah state within a State". If you're referring to 'naturei karta' then of course the law should be used against them as they are enemies within. thanks, Mike
16. I don't understand...
female ,   TA   (07.14.08)
If you will revoke a persons citizenship, he will be left stateless unless he/she has dual citizenship....so what do you do, you throw them into the sea?? Or you sent him where???
17. #10 - the law will apply to anyone with Israeli citizenship
redmike ,   Tel Aviv   (07.14.08)
"The minister of interior will not, however, be able to revoke a person's citizenship automatically: An Israeli citizenship can only be revoked if it was given less than 24 months prior to the minister's call to annul it. If more than two years have passed, the decision would be left up to the Administrative Court". Very few Arabs have Israeli citizenship unless they were born here so any annulment could not be automatic and would have to be heard before a court - the same as for non-arabs. People that made Aliyah would be more exposed to 'automatic' annulment than Arabs that were born here. Mike
18. Better late then never
elianna ,   Jerusalem   (07.14.08)
19. AHMED TIBI: OUT!!!
stephane ,   jerusalem   (07.14.08)
20. Why not make draft dodging part of the package?
(07.14.08)
21. Please..wait and see if it passes. The leftists
Mike ,   USA   (07.14.08)
and Arab MK (traitors) will come out in droves. Racism, racism..shmacism. They use the Israeli freedom and democracy to destroy Israel. Had they acted in one of their 22 beloved Arab lands or the Palestinian Arab lands they would have been lynched a long time ago.
22. Do you really believe it the Knesset will approve it?
Ray ,   USA   (07.14.08)
Ha..Fat chance! Israel is chicken! No land in the world would have allowed the Tibi-like open or covert treasonous conduct except Israel.
23. Yossi Beilin = Tibi
Out, out, out ,   USA   (07.14.08)
Export Yossi Beilin to Ramallah!
24. #3 Nobody will boot them out and that is a huge problem.
Roger ,   USA   (07.14.08)
They just talk about it.
25. They can renew family unification then....
Khaled ,   Jerusalem   (07.14.08)
If you can so easily revoke the citizenship of a person who has been involved in terrorist activists....
26. #14 the real story is clear. If you hate Israel move!
Frank ,   USA   (07.14.08)
You too can move. How about Mongolia? Perhaps you will find your leftism and happiness there As for the likes of Tibi. they should have been kicked out of the only Jewish state decades ago.
27. # 14 Jewish versus Arab Terrorists
Bill ,   US   (07.14.08)
Jewish terrorists are not acting on behalf of a foreign government such as the PA or Iran. Thus they can't be called traitors, just murderers.
28. 8
zionist forever   (07.14.08)
Doing anything thats going to upset the arab community is a no go area in Israeli politics. Even demanding they do some kind of civilian service the way jews do millitary service would be considered by the arabs as picking on then and they would be shouting and screaming about it. Nothing is done about the MKS publicly saying Israel has no right to exist as a jewish state and taking part in anti Israel rallies because they are worried about how the arabs will take it. They talked about destroying the homes of the arabs who shot the 8 yeshiva students & killed 3 people with a bulldozer but it hasnt gone further than than. Even though in theory against the law they let arabs hang PLO flags out their window. They still havnt done anything about Bishra yet in theory if he chose to return tommorow he would be permited to come and take his seat in the Knesset again. He gets his Knesset sallery & is entltied to his Knesset pension. Mainly because of a politicly correct idea that its time to make arabs feel welcome so there is no will to take them on. As much as the arabs complain how much they are discriminated against they are allowed to get away with alot more than any jew could ever dream of.
29. #26 & from the source of ur deep love u live in USA!!!!
Ami Israel ,   Israel   (07.14.08)
I am very amused with your comment. I live here and you live there...so I have put my money where my mouth is...you on the other hand are another dull empty headed "Duh!Merican" but it was worth a good laugh thank you!
30. #27 got ya! sending you for remedial reading lessons....
(07.14.08)
unless of course you are willing to share with us who it was that Pollard murdered?! by the way an individual without a movement can commit an act of treason...and murdering the democratically elected PM of Israel counts as an act of treason! and of course we all know what organization Goldstein belonged to...lets see did you need a clue? why don't you ask TBer #12 because you know what...his comment is actually intelligent and he knows far better than all of you Aimericans what he's talking about. I don't agree with his politics but I do indeed recognize that he's thinking in the correct direction!
