.... in most countries in the world, and you are not considered a "lawmaker." If you cannot stay for your nation's national anthem, you shouldn't be allow to serve in the Knesset. Bounce the ones that left. They are not fit to serve as "lawmakers." For that matter, strip them of their citizenship and deport them to Gaza.

When I'm in GB and they sing after each festivity their 'G-d safe the Queen, I stand up and don't walk out, although I'm not British and don't care for the Queen. The Israeli Arabs in the Israeli Parliament should know their place and it's up to the next government to teach them that. Nobody can force them to sing but can punish them for 'contempt by walking out of the Knesset in which they want to serve. It's all a question of behaviour, something these Israeli Arabs prove to be lacking!

In the USA if it is against my personal religious beliefs to pledge allegiance to the flag and/or sing the national anthem I can get an exemption. If they can do as they wish in the USA, they can do as they wish here too.

Palestinians. So why should anyone consider them as Israelis? They should all live and vote in the Palestinian Authority soon to be taken over by Hammas, as seen before in Gaza.

20 people walking out of a room does not constitute a threat to the Jewish character of Israel. Maintaining the occupation of millions of people east of the green line pagainst their will threatens both the democratic character of the state and its Jewish essence. It is recipe for decades of internal struggle that destroy the Zionist dream. The danger of occupation outweighs the uncertainties of a negotiated partition with security mechanisms.

This is what those Arab MK's wish for Israel and why their disrespect should not be ignored.

It should be more than obvious after 95% of the Arabs in Israel voted for these haters of the Jewish homeland that we must separate give them their flag continue Social Security to those who have paid in then stop it let the Palestinian Authority pay it start building massively around the Galilee and the Negev give them full autonomy but always keep an eye on them put security checks around their towns and get to the point where we have 10 million Jews all over this country we are already on the way to that number with 6.5 million now and millions who want to become part of the Jewish people ,,Let E'm go !!!
