Not exactly a huge demonstration. Contemplate the possibility that most Israelis have no particular objection to the law.

against "insulting public officials" violate basic freedom of speech, but they're all up in arms against laws that PROTECT Israel's democracy. What a bunch of ignorant morons!

all the signs are hand written by the same person in Hebrew. (I was there) what does that tells me? One person only is responsible for all this. She got hold of 40 bored morons, taped their mouths, told them some lie, gave them signs in Hebrew that they obviously couldn't read and told them to march and they would be on the telly. She also tried ot get me to march with a sign but I said not because I was dying to go to the toilet.

We need to eliminate this filth or forcibly deport scumbags to some other country where they can enjoy you’re their hate freedom of speech. I don’t need no idiot speaking for us Jews, Israel was and is Jewish homeland. Stop the madness land for peace. Return our boy back

I think the last thing you people would want is for these nutballs to open their mouths.

I think its great that people have idealistic goals, like these people do. The problem is that there is a big difference between idealism and reality. And is the larger problem with the left, that they think nothing but progress and peace will come if we allow everyone everywhere to do anything they like. My suggestion: drop them all in the center of Gaza where they will be free to act in whatever way they want, without the oppressive rule of Israeli law, and they can observe first-hand what the rest of Gazans are doing under the same circumstances.

I am from Argentina, when I was 6 I made my oath to the argentinean country. I sweared loyalty to the flag, to the country, to defend it and so on...there is nothing new on this loyalty oath and it wonders me why Israel took so long to propose it as law...every country has such a loyalty oath. Before you get the spanish nationality you have to swear loyalty to the spanish king...does anybody say a thing??? Thus, if you have no loyalty oath to Israel, better you look for another place to hate jews...

'40 Ugly people' Somehow I can picture you, an adonis of a man; bearded, sweaty, pale skined, dressed in black, unwashed and scuttling around. I bet women swoon at your presence.

IF PEOPLE OF ISREAL THINK LIKE THESE 40PEOPLE, ISREAL WOULD HAVE BEING ONE OF THE GREAT AND RESPECTABLE COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD.

I don't want the arabs to integrate into Israel. the last thing we need is intermarriage and to provide the arabs with an education I favour removing them from Israel altogether

Doesn't YNet get tired of publishing these articles where the Talkback is 100% against these Leftyist Propaganda Garbage. editorials in desguise of News.

Ynet Democracy doesn't mean giving column inches to every loony tune and traitor. Mike

and we will treat that so called law as such. we will never take that facist racist oath. This is our land, we have been here WITHOUT INTERRUPTION for thousands of yrs. I dont care about the israeli citizenship, instead I would be gland for yaffa to join the coming Palestinian state together with all the other arab cities and areas.

This is, of course, thanks to our twerp FM (a former nightclub bouncer) who thinks the mentality of the Glorious Soviet Union is applicable in a western democracy. There is no way on earth I will ever sign a law that pledges my loyalty to any state nor will I ever force anyone to do so.

from Israeli Arabs. Those that are loyal and true and know who they are God bless and prosper you and us. Those that are hateful, and Hamas terror lovers, go to one on your 25 arab countries and leave (prefferably) or go to jail. You dont see americans burining the flag non stop or commiting terror attacks or throwing molotov cocktails at crowds or at cars on the highway. Its gone on 1 second too long. time for some common sense.

Does this mean when a man/woman is inducted into the IDF he/she does not swear loyalty to Israel and her laws? Seems most strange to me as an American who swore loyalty to the USA when he was inducted into the military during WWII. Having the right of free speech doesn't give one the right to yell fire in a movie house if there is no fire. Citizenship carries with it certain rights, but along with those rights come certain obligations. You can't have one without the other.

Russ, since you feel no necessity to swear loyalty to Israel, does that mean you also feel Israel need not protect you vis a vis those who would do you harm?

It is MORONIC to grant citizenship to people who pray for the destruction of your country and the demise of your children!!! If you haven't learned that when people declare they want to see a whole people dead they will act at the first opportunity to make it so then you are lacking in history knowledge...never mind wit!

This IS a democracy and a bill regarding the mythical naqba only provides our enemies, including the 40 here, an outlet. What we should enact is a simple requirement for a Pledge of Allegiance, the same type of Pledge demanded by law in the US, ALL of eurabia, and most African and Latin American states. Additionally, enforcement of National Service by ALL! That can simply include working in local schools, helping build roads, and so on. A refusal can be met without criminal sanctions but more effective civil sanctions. Namely: no service in elected office; no free education; no civil service positions; no free medical or government pension benefits; no driver's licenses; no voting rights; no form of government or public assistance of any sort. Citizenship comes with responsibilities. Support of the State is one of them!

ok then its raise posters calling to assassinate the Prime Minister or no democracy! Strike the law against incitement or no democracy! Allow gay bashing or no democracy! Allow violence against women or no democracy! Allow slavery or no democracy! Allow terror or no democracy! Allow population transfer... (oh yeah they already allowed that so long it was the Jews who were evicted from their homes.... yeah that is democracy!)

Shame!

A good, proper, needful thing. That pic was priceless. Ah, if only it were ever thus!

....so what?

For pointing out how fairly normal of a ritual this is, yet the bigots will surely smear Israel using this the next time around.
