1. Why isn't Lapid fighting for DEMOCRACY on the Temple MOUNT??
Hank   (11.23.14)
Because he loves ARABS not really DEMOCRACY.
2. time to destroy the left and all its adherents. they must be
ralph   (11.23.14)
Shown for the evil, useless, wrong, incompetent, destructive, immoral, subvertive, force and people they are. We must vote them out of existence. Open your eyes and see them for what they are.
3. you are anti-democratic. you do not know what democracy mean
ralph   (11.23.14)
means. all you leftists must be pushed off stage. you are dangerous to our well being.
4. "Jewish" means religious, means genetic, means racist.
Michael ,   California, USA   (11.23.14)
This law must be defeated by the full Knesset. Next steps: define who is a Jew and write a constitution for Israel.
5. Let's celebrate good times come on!
Adler   (11.23.14)
6. Jewish nationhood bill may be a necessary first step to...
Robert ,   USA   (11.23.14)
a two-state solution, which may be what Netanyahu has in mind. Personally I am in favor of a one-state solution, but either way, this nationhood bill may be a good idea, but "democratic" should be first not second.
7. quit already
gerald   (11.23.14)
one can only hope lapid quits and elections are called. This arrogant deciple of olmert knows nothing about security and presumes to talk for begin and japotinsky when those 2 would have loathed lapid. As for peri, shin bet head at the time of rabin, you did a lousy job as israelis were gettting blown up all over the place. German can go back to meretz where most of the party is. Any half wit would know israel has to assert its sovereignty or it willl lose it. The EU could give horse manure for israel and obama is not far behind. Bbibi is 100% right on this one. That weinstein and friedmann don' t like it has more that it will cause more work for the court. Since when have lawyers done that much for the state of israel. As for livni, going back to her mossad days, it is possible that she had romantic nights with arabs. Since, she is always smiling in the company of erekat and other arabs and frowning when with jews. It may very well be that her hatred for israelis has more to do with her memory of arab nights than anything else. The other reason is that she is just plainly stupid. israelis, if livni and lapid had their way, isil would be on the kinneret, haams would have closed down ben gurion, terror would be 1000 fold. You are going to believe these ignoramuses???!! Wake up. Don't give up security control
8. fraunce & eripe want Israel to not be a Jewish state, but
Moshe ,   Usa   (11.24.14)
when Jews were imprisoned in euripion ghettos, we were all Jewish and we did not have any rights in the nation states within which we were living. So go to Hell fraince you dumb antisemites.
9. Israel has always been defined as a Jewish state
C   (11.23.14)
the declaration of independence specifically states, we "hereby declare the establishment of a jewish state in eretz israel to be known as the state of israel."
10. This bill...
A Jerusalemite ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (11.24.14)
This is a first step in trying to make Halacha the law of the State! As Iran is ruled by Sharia law. This is a slap in the face to true equality of rights and privileges before the law for minorities - including women. Note that David Nowlin (fb) who wants a Torah based theocracy in Israel lives in Columbus Ohio - not here. This demeans the rights of minorities to equal rights.
11. Lapid's & Livni's horrid parties gone in 2 elections
Chaim ,   Israel   (11.24.14)
Horrid Livni and her pathetic Hatnua Party likely won't survive the next election. Lapid and his horrid Yesh Atid are gone in two elections. Who cares what they think?
12. 8 and you should go to school
(11.24.14)
You illiterate
13. No to sharia-styled Israel!
Daniel   (11.24.14)
This law is beyond the Pale! The whole world rightly abhors Muslim countries that have based their laws on sharia, and now the right wants to do the same to Israel! It's grotesque. Israel should be a country for ALL Jews, not a haredi-version of Iran.
14. why is it racist?
nadav ,   TLV   (11.24.14)
The French Republic defines itself as French and refuses to recognize ANY other nationality beside that of French, i.e. Corsican,s Bretons, Alsatians, Basque, Picardians, Flemish, which are indigenous nationalities, are NOT recognized, nor is ANY religion recognized in France. Is that racist?!
15. Lapid & Livni
Brod ,   USA   (11.25.14)
Whose side are they on? Why are they trying to weaken Israel?
