1. Why is it that Obama Admin issues Fatwas daily on every
Alan ,   SA   (11.25.14)
event that occurs in Israel. One rarely if ever hears so many Fatwas pronounced on happenings in any other country. All the time,daily, they issue or proclaim Fatwas on every Israeli event It does not add up- I dont understandwhy this is so.

Whoever haves a strong jewish character that love's Israel, is Zionist
3.  all citizens should enjoy equal rights - really
Nardia   (11.25.14)
So would he like to explain why in the year 2014, hundreds of thousands of couples have to go abroad to marry because they are not considered Jewish enough to get married in Israel. Time to separate state from religion and let the people decide. Civil marriage for those who want it.

1. This comes just two days after Obama gutted American democracy by tearing up the Constitution. 2. Israel's government is her own business. 3. Being a democracy is over-rated. Israel is the most democratic country in the Middle East, but the most hated by Obama and Europe who prefer Islamic republics like Saudi Arabia, Iran, Syria and Turkey, especially if they are ethnically pure (like Jordan and Saudi Arabia) or apartheid regimes like Turkey.

Here is the handy work of Tzipi Livni, The Americans needed a stodge for cover, and Livni supplied it
6. Basic Law
nosan neitslog ,   usa   (11.25.14)
Bibi's proposal would only encourage Israel's Jewish bigots and further alienate Israel`s arabs
7. united states comments on internal israeli affairs
mark   (11.25.14)
US should be more sobre about interfering in israeli internal affairs. it is none of its business. The only reason why obama interferes is because bibi is a punching bag and doesn't say no.
8. No amount of barking will stop this convoy
Ruff, ruff ruff   (11.25.14)
I haven’t seen the draft of the proposed law, only heard the hyperbole of the Israeli media. Even if some adjustments are needed, the Nationality Law will pass in some form or another.
9. Sovereign State of Israel is a Jewish State
CJK   (11.25.14)
the sovereign independent state of israel is a jewish state per declaration of independence which stated that we "hereby declare the establishment of a jewish state in eretz-israel"
10. The Obama Regime lectures Israel about democratic values
(11.25.14)
while they tear up the US Constitution with illegal executive orders
11. And why would we be interested in US opinion?!

12. #7: obama admin reaction shows the need for this law
David ,   New york   (11.25.14)
Of course they are interfering with internal Israeli politics. Just like objecting to construction in east Jerusalem is also meddling in the internal affairs of Israel Soon obamas successor will be talking about how israel needs to take in 5 million Palestinian descendants from Arab countries and be a "binational" state So now is the time to pass this law
13. Nationality Law Priority
Rafi ,   Merkaz, Israel   (11.25.14)
It's good to see our government spending time and resources on the really important issues - NOT! Bibi is playing while Israel burns. What a joke this government has become. And we are the ones suffering for it.
