1. Now do you begin to see how necessary that law was?!
(08.03.18)
2. Bill is unsustainable
Tim ,   Brighton   (08.03.18)
One you get into a situation that the Bill requires special dispensation or status for this group or that you know the Bill is starting to unravel

Its unsustainable, divisive, retrogressive and short sighted

The strength and character of leadership is when they acknowledge mistakes rather than try to apply sticking plaster to mend it

3. Jerry Silverman, be very careful what you wish for
C   (08.03.18)
have you forgotten the american civil war where the south demanded
national self determination?
would you like alsace to declare independence?
do you agree with independence for catalonia?
would you give african-americans the right to national self determination?
you would not.
do you even know the meaning of the term "national self determination?"
why do you think that you have the right to meddle in the internal
affairs of the sovereign jewish state of israel.
let me answer my own question: you do not really think that israel
is fully sovereign. that is why you think that the state of israel is
not a jewish state but rather, a state where the druze have the right
to national self determination.
you think that israel is jewish only the way jews were jewish in
christian europe.
you think that israel is the jew among the nations, a shmate state,
with rights granted her by the goy nations.
shame on you.
4. A step back for minorities, a step forward for the majority
Sam ,   Montreal   (08.03.18)
It's been sickening listening to all the Jewish appeasers. Show some strength you creampuffs. The majority has to stand up for itself too.
5. Love the law!
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (08.03.18)
Israel is the only Jewish nation on earth and has the right to enact any law it sees fit to determine her own survival.
If Gentiles don't like it MOVE!
6. # 2 Oh Puhleeze!
BBB   (08.03.18)
Brighton and Israel have no similarities.
Israel has the right to determine and make laws to insure Israel remains Jewish.
7. Israeli govt. moves in right direction. Leftists protest
Chaim ,   Israel   (08.03.18)
The Nationality Law is both necessary and positive to safeguard Israel's future. It doesn't discriminate against anyone. Every time Israel's government moves in the right direction, leftist protest. Most American Jewish "leaders" are nothing more than shills for the horrible Democrat Party.
8. Mr
George Steiner   (08.03.18)
Who'll mend the damage done by Netanyahu? He has managed toalienate the Druze and the Bedouin. And the Jewish Diaspora. Is Bennet's and Lieberman's support more important? Go home Bibi, as long as the damage you've done can be dealt with! Retire, pamper your snobbish wife with the money you stole from us! When you go home, I'll do the same. Meanwhile, I'll stay in Switzerland - a place where they don't talk about democracy, but they practice it.
9. Self Appointed Assimilated “Jewish Leaders”
LeaveUsGo!!! ,   Jerusalem   (08.03.18)
Go home leave us alone complete your assimilation change your names
We’re sick of you !!
10. “One of the most important leaders” to YNET
SilvermanWho? ,   Jerusalem   (08.03.18)
11. American Jews should support Israel or be silent!
Michelle ,   West palm beach   (08.03.18)
When Jerry Silverman makes aliyah, he has a say!!! The Balfour declaration was about a Jewish homeland! In 1948 the U.N. voted on a Jewish state called Israel! This law only states what the reality already is here in Israel. It does not call for lesser rights for non-Jews. Does Silverman actually think he knows what is better for the people of Israel than Israelis? What chutzpah!!!!
12. mr
david david ,   bkln   (08.04.18)
who gave you the right to interfere in internal domestic Israeli politics and polic u think that just because you support Israel you have a right to , Israel did as much 4 american jews as american jews did 4 Israel
13. Section 6
N ,   N   (08.03.18)
Not only does is discriminate between Jewish and non-Jewish citizens, gives ammunition for BDS movement.
Section 6 is also a big let-down for Zionism: When the obvious is (or: has to be) written down then it will stop (or: already has stopped) being self-evident.
An "unwritten" law is more powerful. Does anyone think that section 6 will cause Israel to surpass it's commitment it showed in the past?
14. Arabs steal Middle East, won't pay, beg world for help,whine
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (08.05.18)
15. Any one living in USA is subject to the brain wash
Mr.Reason ,   Berlin   (08.05.18)
Any one living in USA is subject to the brain wash. It's not about liberalism - liberty is a high value for any civilization.
It's about deleting history, national traditions, destroying cultural versatility and creating a monolithic consumer society, which believes in "history" dictated by Hollywood and believing in Fake News created by so called free press owned by oligarchs.

The result is fascistic Ukraine, destroyed Middle East, demonization of Russia, and guess what - Israel is the next.

I am proud of Bibbi joining the 9th Mai parade on Red Square in Moscow with Putin.
