Many dictators hold elections, that doesn't make a democracy. When all is said and done religion matters in israel.

The arabs occupying Judea and Samaria are mostly (appx. 85%) Jordanian citizens and therefore have no right to vote (or live) in Israel. If they want to exercise their voting rights, they can go home to Jordan and vote for their self proclaimed "king".

The Knesset conducts itself more like a cowshed than a legislature. It is full of "beheymot", both Arab and Jewish.

no amount of packaging or tirades against bibi takes away from the fact that livni is another olmert except in criminality;she is stupid beyond belief and her appeasement makes chamberlain look like a war hero. One of her mates, micheal oren just exposed obama as a palestinian moslem-it is beyond dispute. And livni told us to depend on obama. What a moron. i feel sorry for you naphtali.

I congratulate the M.K. for telling the truth. It is a refreshing change to hear such self respecting honesty in the Knesset. This is the best government Israel has had for a long time. Israel is doing Arabs a favor by granting them citizenship. Israel should take away the favor in many cases. Citizenship should be conditional on high standards of proven loyalty.

AND THE NORMAL THING TO DO IS TO TAKE THEM OFF.SEND THEM TO AN ARAB COUNTRY AND THEY WILL SEE.

Can anyone imagine secretary Kerry or anyone of his deputies saying this to Sen Schumer, Rep. Feinstein or any lawmaker representing minority? It can't get any lower than that ,... And look at Bibi instead tell this idiot to shut up and apologize he starts his usual finger pointing BS that there're examples and places worst than Israel so how dare you ... criticize them don't criticize us ,... Bibi maybe there're worst places than Israel but at least they don't pretend or claim to be democracy, you hypocrite.

Jordan revoked the citizenship of all palestinian arabs living in Judea/Samaria back in the 1980s.

...world. In any other Islamic-cult-country they have no similar freedom... And with sharia-law, - people are doomed to get handicap'ed...poor idiots..

of course it does you idiot; Israel was established as the one and only Jewish state, remember? it's founding fathers had all kinds of idealistic fantasies, "a light unto the nations," equality, etc; Reality on the ground, constant pressure from those seeking its destruction, have put a strain on these fantasies; all things considered, they're doing a damn good job

they should try being elected in Gaza. Let's see how that goes over. ( like a lead balloon,.) Or, when Jews are elected to high office in any Arab F'ed up nation.

Did Mazuz forget that his parents are from Tunisia. It is like, for example, saying to an American Indian: You should be grateful of having a US citizenship.

The King revoked their citizenship? By what right? This does not result in the arabs residing in Judea and Samaria becoming citizens of israel. These arabs remain citizens of Jordan and or the arab nation.

Ok If this is a story in a pure secular democratic country. Hon Speaker stop the mike of the government delegate ( The minister on this contravercy) and just suspend his entry to the legislative house till his apology or prove the facts. don't make an Israeli Citizen ship as some thing which loose when you are sneezingggg.and available in flee market..First learn the reason and pain of being a citizen then be a minister..I support Merez and it,s strong stands in the legislative houses. Good keep it up.

The Arab MKs who consistently attack Israel's right to defend itself are traitors. They are hypocritical in their repeated efforts to use democratic freedoms to allow for their own totalitarian evil actions. Siding with them is siding with those who would destroy us.

Where do you draw the line? Take away citizenship from anti-Zionist Charedi? Take away citizenship from anyone dissenting from officially sanctioned beliefs? Take away citizenship from those who are not of the 'right' ethnicity? What is the matter with everyone?? I thought we had got away from these kinds of evil - but clearly they live on, despite supposed recognition of the horrors of pre-war Europe and WWII!

but it also helps to know what you're talking about. "american indians" weren't born is sweden or have swedish citizenship. yasser arafat, the arch-palestinian, was born in cairo, and mahmoud abbas, his terrorist successor in a business suit, has jordanian citizen (as does most of the leadership). and i've never heard any "american indians" call themselves swedes, the way that hanan zoabi, an israeli member of knesset, calls herself a "palestinian". but thanks for posting your opinion anyway.

For most of History Swedes were Imperialists. Also in many cases antisemitics, they brought hate gainst Poolish Jewsjust as Germans did in the 13th century

they could live their wonderful islamic republics have no freedom of speech or any other kind offreedom not be able to get a job with ahigh standard of living a country that kills its citizens or starvesthem if `they are not happy and satisfied they can packup their bags and leave

I guess Jordan prefers any foreign Muslims but the terroristic pals. Didn't the pals try to assassinate the old Jordanian king? Dumb ba$tards/

KEEP BUILDING !!!!
