(08.11.18)

(08.11.18)

8. Mr.
Roland ,   London.   (08.11.18)
Palestinian flags are an insult to the many "wounded Bereaved and dead we have sustained. Firm decisive action is called for, otherwise we will only we only have "White Flags " to wave..,and"G-D" forbid the "Degel Israel"will bcome a relic of the past.
9. Finally get rid of the ass lifters....
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (08.11.18)
10. There are no Palestinians in Israel
C   (08.11.18)
there are arabs, mostly muslim arabs in israel.

arabs have no right to national self determination within the sovereign
jewish state of israel.

national self determination within sovereign israel belongs to the jewish
people since israel is the sovereign state of the jewish people.

minorities in israel are entitled to equality under the law, but they are not
entitled to national self determination which is a characteristic of
sovereignty.
11. Marxists support Islamists
C   (08.11.18)
both these groups want to destroy western liberal values.

there should be no mistake: the marxists do not like the muslims.
they just hate the west.
israel is regarded as a western colonial outpost that must be destroyed.
the marxists do not realise that the islamists hate them. they are
considered to be atheists and colonisers themselves.
12. pretty good
elias   (08.11.18)
so what do we have-Israeli land burning up-farmland, nature reserves etc, violent fence protests, and now plo flags that livni indirectly encourages in he heart of tel aviv. of course the arabs want Israel
DEAD.. that is what they really want. livni does not understand this.


so Israel quietly agreed to a truce in return for all of this. sounds like a pretty good deal for Hamas. they are calling the shots.

Lieberman sits in security deliberations and is possibly outvoted by shteinitz, bibi and others who preach quiet and lull. OK, so they are burning up our land, so what. can we do. we can put out the fires.as for fence protests, let them blow off steam.

as for Israelis living near the Gaza envelope, we will respond with a heavy blow though it doesn't stop kite and balloon fires. so that is the way it is.

Add all of his up. any company head would fire bibi in a second for this performance. he is not up to the challenge. yahya sinwar is making him look like a fool, and a weak one at that. Lieberman is now shown to be a toothless tiger with a big mouth who is ineffective.

it is dangerous for Israel to have a leader who is petrified of war.

bring on Bennett or feiglin to lead Israel. the media will get israel killed with the leaders they back. next tolmert, bibi is the weakest israeli pm in its history, weaker than eshkol, olmert and peres combined.
13. Poor Arabs, all they want is Gaza, "Palestine", West Bank,
(08.12.18)
Al-Kuds, , Haifa, Ramallah, Ramat Aviv and upper floors of Tel Aviv Central Bus Station....
14. Denial of Jewish right to self determination is antisemitic
(08.12.18)
15. The only apartheid it’s islam that do not tolerate
Phoenix   (08.12.18)
If Muslims live here you’ve got to understand this is israel the Jewish nation and if that bothers you get the hell out of our country! You have plenty of countries where you will enjoy Muslim whole state go to them get out of here dogs!
16. How about equal responsibilities?
Gene   (08.12.18)
Arabs complain that "nationality law" doesn't treat them as equal but refuse to join IDF to be equal. They want the state to be the "state of all citizens" but refuse to serve it as part of "all citizens". How to understand such attitude? They demand from the state something while giving in return just slander and contempt and claiming that it is their right. Shame on Michal Rosen for supporting such racist Arab attitude.
17. the supporters of the bill must speak up to save it
zionist forever   (08.12.18)
There is a real risk that of the courts or a combination of MKS who are against the bill and those who supported it but then got cold feet after the Druze objections then this bill could be revoked and it could even lead to serious debates about is the Jewish state idea discrimination and that would be the biggest threat to Israel's existence as a Jewish state ever faced.
We need the people who support the bill to come out and make themselves heard let the media and the rest of the world see that not everybody objects to this bill and its not just Netanyahu's pet project which nobody wants make sure the politicians and judges know the majority want this bill just the way it is.
18. 5th Column
Daniel Freedman ,   Tzfat   (08.12.18)
The Druzim prove who they are and who they align with. Let them go live with the Palestinians. I'm finished with them
19. Showing clearly the aim of israeli arabs
Chana Abraham ,   Ramat Gan   (08.12.18)
"I would have liked to join the protest but after hearing that Palestinian flags will not be allowed, I decided against it. There is no law in this country that bans the waving of our flags. No one should have the authority to make a decision such as this one,” he raged!!!! This statement shows how much this law is needed, arabs wanting "palestine" instead of Israel.
20. There is not much you can do
Tim   (08.12.18)
The illegal settlement enterprise and its dismal consequencies for a peaceful solution have already undermined your international situation so don't make it worse.
21. a different protest: with a Prime Minister in a Nazi uniform
(08.12.18)
...received way way less winching & whingeing than this protest!
What does that say about you?
22. Jews r allowed 2 do as they wish, others not so much....
Weebles ,   Israel   (08.12.18)
for example:
Ultra-Orthodox Jews are allowed to throw fouled diapers at police officers and IDF soldiers
Ultra-Orthodox Jews are allowed to call police officers and IDF soldiers NAZIS!
Right wing Jews are allowed to carry a coffin with the name the Prime Minister on it.
Right wing Jews are allowed to carry posters with images of the Prime Ministers, police and military officers all dressed in Nazi uniforms.
Right wing Jews are allowed to incite against others, especially to incite against others who don't agree with them.
Right wing Jews are allowed to murder & burn the property of others
Right wing Jews are allowed to assassinate a duly elected Prime Minister.

But just fly the Palestinian flag and all of the TBers and the Prime Minister lose their collective cool and become a group in insecure oppressors screaming at the top of their lungs..."Look at their shameful disrespect!"

Really, NOW you want to take about respect, human rights and loyalty? Pahleezz! sit down!
Look at the message you have been sending for over 30 years and then come back to have a reasonable conversation!
23. Not sure what Palestinians have t do with internal politics
(08.12.18)
24. The pally flag-wavers did Israel a favor
Jake   (08.12.18)
by searing into the public consciousness the indelible link between the leftist opposition and the Arab nationalist agents provocateurs who wish to dismantle the State of Israel altogether and establish Arab "Palestine" in its place. This is a major own-goal for the Meretz and Livni camps, and will be remembered by the Israeli public.

The fact that Leftist protest leaders in the heart of Tel Aviv allowed their protest against an Israeli law to be co-opted by the palestinian movement is proof positive that there IS no more Zionist Left. It has long since morphed into post-Zionism and anti-Zionism.
25. Even Nazi laws didn't target individual laws!
Noam Ephraim ,   Tel Aviv   (08.12.18)
26. The Pals, 51% of populatIon, have TO RAISE THEIR FLAG
Maurice Zlichr ,   Tulsa, Oklahoma   (08.12.18)
