2. Israel needs a constitution, not a bill. MKs are lazy.

3. Israel IS the JEWISH PEOPLE STATE
rebecca ,   Modiin   (11.06.11)
and Hebrew IS the national language. What the h... is wrong with you people. It's obvious. Do it NOW.
4. Mr. Knesset Speaker Rivlin, Sir,
Israela ,   Israel   (11.06.11)
I respectfully don't agree with you. I do know that you love Israel as much as I as do and that you (unlike me and all of the other TBers here) are in a real position of power. Would you please seriously reconsider providing this proposed bill with any sort of support? Thank you!
5. we started as a Socialistic state and
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (11.06.11)
then we became a democratic state. So why can't we become an official Jewish state? We have enough fascist states that recognize Muslim laws, why can't a democratic state base itself on Jewish law??
6. No problem with Jewish State.
Mike ,   Hadera Israel   (11.06.11)
I have lived in Israel for the past 30 years. I am not Jewish and have no desire to be. My kids served with distinction in the army and air force and I am very proud of them. I have never encountered any sort of prejudice against me because of my religion or lack of. As far as I can see the only problem Israelis have with non Jewish people in Israel is if they act against the State of Israel. Israel can be and is both a Jewish State and a Democracy that respects the rights of all its Citizens, Arab, Christian and Jewish. My 2c..
7. How about a bill to ban those that never
jason white ,   afula, israel   (11.06.11)
served in the I.D.F. from sitting in the knesset, voting or working in government? Ban all non Zionist parties from politics.
8. #5
Frank-el ,   Seattle USA   (11.06.11)
Then there should be no issue with you if the USA declares itself a "Christian State"? Just think it through before you answer. At the end of the day it's the same thing regardless how much you try to complicate it or how many double standards you attempt to apply.

Ellen ,   Israel/USA   (11.06.11)
For all intensive purposes the US is a Christian state. I've been told this by Jews and Christians. I use vacation and personal days for Jewish holidays and I have off for Christian ones. The stores are full of Christmas and when I go in the caroles are non-stop. My co op decorates this 37 Acre property for Christmas. The office is closed on Good Friday etc. etc. I am not saying that Christians shouldn't be allowed to do this. I AM saying, lets be realistic about what the US is. One of the reasons I am also living in Israel is because I want to live in a Jewish State. There is nothing wrong with the government putting into law what is real to most of us.
10. #4 & #8 are way off line. PLO =
