1. Wonderfull step!
Keren ,   Israel-SP   (05.05.09)
Not only them will have their citizenship revoked,but MANY,MANY others ,especially under the category of false data. Better less , strong and commited cityizens than a huge quantity of fakes,who sooner or later would tranform this country in an enemy country towards those who are meant to live in it.
2. excellent decsision.
ghostq   (05.05.09)
the law is enforced wisely.
3. Azmi Bishara next!!!
Lila ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (05.05.09)
4. a belated move
akexander tel-aviv   (05.05.09)
Olim from Russia were sent back and their passports revoked or never issued due to mistakes in paperwork or doubts of Min of Absorption, no time wasted. Here we have a case of Israekl citizens actively working for Israel's destruction, commiting high treason like Bishara did, and they still enjoy Soical security payments, having Israel passports in their pockets etc. Something is not right...
5. Getting rid of the 5th column
Matityahu ,   Slovenia   (05.05.09)
A small step, but definitely a way to go.
6. Thank G-d
Sarah ,   New York City, USA   (05.05.09)
Learn this: act against the state that has given you everything you have, made it possible for you to become integrated into society, given you a more than decent standard of living ---- you will lose it all. Good riddance. Citizens like this, Israel doesn't need. Bravo Bibi.
7. revocation of non druse arabs
marcel   (05.05.09)
all arabs except except druse non terror groups should be revoked and shipped to jordan. Olmert has harmed israel with his concessions that the US is using as a rope around bibi's neck. Olmert's concessions were like a sharp knife to israel's throat. What comes around goes around. Regardless of what olmert is told, his prostate surgery has risks for kidney damage, blood clots, sexual dysfunction and incontinence. And suffering, pain, Ehud, there will be pain. Good luck Ehud as you approach and think of your surgery under a sharp knife.
8. Clearly, they couldn't pass Yvet's "citizenship" test.
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (05.05.09)
A rare, proper move by the Interior Minister. Let them stay with their brethren in Lebanon and Tunisia - or anywhere else folks will have them.
9. Good Common Sense.
The 11th Man ,   London   (05.05.09)
10. good stuff
MIMI ,   UK   (05.05.09)
very good,keep it up,many to come.
11. it about time
(05.05.09)
12. Hava Nagilah! About time you used that brain...AND spine...
Jae ,   lynn us   (05.05.09)
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG past due.
13. Waiting for the usual "racist country" squeals.
Tahl ,   Ashdod, Israel   (05.05.09)
14. GOOD MOVE!
VIVA ,   ISRAEL   (05.05.09)
IT WAS TIME ALREADY! ONLY THING IS LETS SEE HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO GET THESE GANGSTERS TO GET KILLED IN THEIR OWN ARAB COUNTRIES- LETS SEE HOW THEY SUPPORT THEM
15. Great move
Sidney ,   USA   (05.05.09)
Now, how about the editors of Haaretz?
16. The Arab minority in Israel.
Dave Ronen ,   Haifa   (05.05.09)
Israeli Arabs are not Israeli, and how could they be? Israel is a name set aside for the people of Israel. Arabs who live here can be called "Arabs with citizenship of the State of Israel", but they are certainly not 'Israelis'. Ask them and they will tell you the same thing. Israel is the country that we have built. We the Jews, the Children of Israel, have returned to our land and have built a prosperous and healthy country in which Torah flourishes alongside advanced farming, life-saving medicine and computers. As to the Arabs living in Israel consult the declaration of the US congress in 1922 : http://xrl.us/ou89o

Sarah ,   New York City, USA   (05.05.09)
Sasha, better than one-third of the people that Russia allowed to emigrate were not Jewish. Russia wanted to get rid of its problems, and found that the best way to do it was to stamp "Yevrai" into a passport. That stamp did not make non-Jews Jewish and, unfortunately, a lot of the people that came to Israel were nothing more than criminal Russian scum. They are not Jews. They never were. They never will be.
18. Marcel, how about you ship your squatters from the WB?
Nour ,   #7   (05.05.09)
...Rather than fantasizing about "removal" or "expulsion" of over one million Palestinians inside israel PROPER. That would achieve PEACE, Marcel.
19. Sarah, sorry to inform you...
Nour   (05.05.09)
you won't have citizenship of Palestine (after Israel is gone). Please stay in New York. Inciting, war-mongers like you should remain in their place, away from the Middle East. In the meantime we're going to take care of your squatters who landed here recently (Moldovans et. al. hoodlums).
20. Nour #19
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (05.05.09)
Since your proposed apartheid state forbids the citizenship of Jews we aren't too concerned. With our new Interior Minister you may get near some of the population you already claim to have.
21. Poor little Nour.....
Andy - gorgeous ,   Jewish Israel   (05.05.09)
Has fantasies about a Palestine that never was and never will be. Tell your stupid bretheren to compromise with us before they will be left with NOTHING forever. Tick Tock, little Nour. Time's a wasting.....LOL!
22. I LOVE MY JEWISH LAND,MY ISRAEL
mimi ,   UK   (05.05.09)
THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD BEEN DONE AGES AGO. WELL DONE ISRAEL,YOU SHOW THEM.
23. Let me get this straight...
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (05.05.09)
..."if he or she betrayed the country and breached trust, if he or she entered a country defined as an enemy state, which Israelis are not allowed to enter, or if he or she was granted citizenship from a country defined as an enemy state..." Doesn't this define what Tibi has been doing (he is even a Palestinian "citizen" as he holds a Palestinian "diplomatic" passport). What about Azmi Bshara and his Balad acolytes. Why are we still financing Azmi Bshara's family? They are still getting welfare although they are millionaires by now with the $$ received from Iran through Hezbollah! Enough is enough. Kick the scum out of the country and tell them in one voice - WHOMEVER breaches our trust, will have to find himself a new place and a new source of income - "parlamentary immunity" or not!
24. #18 so you are advocating "transfer of the Jews"?
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (05.05.09)
... why are you allowed to do that, after all, Hebron has enough Jewish history including Jewish Patriach and Matriarchs graves, to make any Muslim sick with hatred! But in the interest of peace, I am all for a MUTUAL TRANSFER - you transfer our citizens from lands you do not actually and historically own in the West Bank and Gaza, (wait! We've already did Gaza!), and we will transfer all the Israeli Arabs who claim that they are Palestinians from lands they NEVER owned historically and we'll call it a day, OK? Nour I will buy your suggestion any day for as long as we balance it with a remival of all the false "Israeli" Arabs to the PA territories. Can we shake hands on that? I am ready - but are YOU?
25. #19 Nour, you're over-using the word "squatters"
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (05.05.09)
... and it won't work for as long as you apply it to Jews of Israel/Palestine or whatever you want to call it. Keep on dreaming about the destruction of the State of Israel - this is a perfect way to keep yourself and your family for generations in poverty, ignorance and hatred. Your dreams of genocide will backfire. As a matter of fact you are committing genocide to your own peolple by feeding them false dreams, lies and futile hatred instead of educating them and providing them with jobs. We prosper while you are eaten by hatred and racism. I pity you and all like you. Peace willNEVER happen withou Israel so you better get used to living in poverty or accepting the fact that Israel is here to stay - F O R E V E R!
26. Nour, look who's talking ...
EST ,   Miami USA   (05.05.09)
The first Palestinian elected president. Arafat, born and raised in Cairo...Last time I looked Cairo is in Egypt ... If you want to talk about squatters look at who is trying to claim the lands of the Kingdom of Israel, the lands of Judea and Samaria, etc., etc., The Romans gave the name Palestine to the land of the Jews ... it is a historical fact. The original Palestinians are the Jewish people. All those recently arrived palis are originally from Egypt, Jordan and other assorted Arab countries ...
27. To: Nour at No. 19
Sarah ,   New York City, USA   (05.05.09)
Do you need any help packing your bags? Where are you headed? Jordan? Syria? Saudi Arabia? Kuwait? Dubai? Bahrain? Send us a postcard. Have a nice life. You won't be missed.
28. kol hakavod!
nicole ,   israel   (05.05.09)
29. Racism, we will never leave
Abu Jihad ,   Yaffa, Palestine   (05.05.09)
We have a right to live in our ancestral homeland, a moral, legal and cultural right. No one can push us out. Those who do not like to live beside us can leave. If Israel does not want us to be citizens so be it, but leave our cities and give us the right to self-determination in all our cities, towns and villages inside the green line

Rosie ,   Israel   (05.05.09)
Azmi Bishara should be FIRST!
