1. Talmudic & democratic are oxymoron
Khalid Amayreh ,   Jerusalem   (05.01.18)
2. This law has same value as a used toilet paper
Miriam Kershenbaum ,   Tel Aviv   (05.01.18)
3. Tibi &your ilk: u r INTOLERABLE and not guests, but wannabe
(05.01.18)
occupiers of Land of Israel!
4. The one and only aim of The Nationality Law
Stan ,   Israel   (05.01.18)
Is to further the POLITICAL CAREER of Avi Dichter. (who proposed the law)

At 16.00 hours on the 14th May 1948, David Ben Gurion read aloud before 250 invited guests the Declaration of Independence of THE JEWISH STATE OF ISRAEL.

So the hundreds of millions of people around the world who have heard of Israel, know that it is a Jewish state.
5. ABOUT BEING TOLERABLE GUESTS
Robert ,   Israel   (05.01.18)
Mr. Tibi, please explain me how are Jews and other non Muslims considered inside Palestinian land? Are they also considered as "tolerable guests?.
6. Support for nationality law as a cosmopolitan society.....
The Archives ,   Kuala Lumpur   (05.01.18)
means a diversity of cultures and values that may not fully support Israel as a Jewish state must be avoided and respect for the nationality of Israel's identity must be upheld to deter extremism hostile to Israel must be put on hold with the enactment of the nationality bill that the great forefathers of Israel from Zeev Jabotinskin to Ben Gurion to the Israeli leaders of today who have fought so hard to instill a sense of belonging to a Jewish state among a diverse group of people. Even now, with most Israeli arabs who has little identity with Israel, the national bill will seek to enforce patriotism to Israel as a Jewish state.
7. Those who are Jews in their hearts are Jews but those who
Rivka   (05.01.18)
are not Jews in their hearts are not Jews to haShem. Unrepentant Atheists and LGBT,etc. and adulterers and fornicators and drunkards and gluttons and sorcerers (use hallucinogenic drugs) are not Jews in their hearts. Defining a Jew is most important. Believing Yeshua ben haShem is the messiah in His first advent as the sacrificial lamb and that He is coming again in glory as the Lion of Judah is also to be a Jew in one's heart.
8. Yes, non-Jews are GUESTS in Israel - not natives
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv   (05.01.18)
Non-Jews have DEMOCRATIC, CIVIL and HUMAN rights in Israel but NO NATIONAL RIGHTS just like Jews enjoy democratic, civil and human rights in most European countries but no national ethnic Jewish/Israeli rights

Arabs already control 80% of our Jewish homeland (Jordan) and already have in their possession more than 20 Arab states. So please be so kind and shut your mouths.

The non-Jews of Israel have a choice: EITHER they ACCEPT that they ARE FOREIGNERS AND GUESTS in Israel with democratic, human and civil rights, or they pack their bags, have their Israeli citizenship permanently revoked, and move to their non-Jewish homelands, whereever they are.

Either the non-Jews accept Israel as a JEWISH STATE or there will be war with the non-Jewish minorities. Plain and simple. Non debatable!!! Don't cross the red line!!!

We Jews accept the ethnic nationalism of dozens of non-Jewish nation states across Europe, Asia, Africa and Middle East and it's about time that non-Jews reciprocate the same favor and start respecting the nationhood and national rights of the Jewish people.
9. next step leftists heraus!
blackie ,   Israel   (05.01.18)
and eventually all that will remain in Israel are Ultra-Orthodox freeloaders and wild eyed brown shirts!
and then the State will completely implode...because "Sinat Hinam" only causes destruction!
10. My posts have the same value as a used toilet paper
Julius/ Miriam ,   Baltimore, USA   (05.01.18)
but at least I can pretend to be a woman.
