Can you imagine that those who oppose such law are exactly those who have mouthfuls of "people" and "people's rights" etc.?

It is laughable to see those antisemitic guys now pretend that you cannot trust the same people for taking the right decision when needed.

Referendums are the best tool of democracy. No doubt those who believe in dictatorship "for the good of the people" will reject such a tool. Maybe you remember the last regimes who do/did that? USSR and Communist China, that's right! The former is dead and the latter has taken some tough decisions: annex Tibet. No doubt this is a dream for those who oppose asking people's advice.

The decision was taken by a 2/3 majority, quite a performance at the Knesset. So not only it is a people's victory but also a parliamentary victory.

The decision was opposed by the so-called "palestinians" (there is no such people), meretz, and of course - telegramsam, the NIF stooge and gofer; the NIF having as one of its aims to end the so-called "occupation" of parts of Eretz Yisrael.

"So let all thine enemies perish, O Lord: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years." (Judges 5,31)

[The 40 years rest part may be a little delayed ...]

I see Ovadiah is still busy with Amsalem. So no news yet on the fatwa. You are losing your touch, Avraham. If you ever had it.

Tspam believes that "tough decisions" should be taken against the will of the people who elected their government to do exactly the opposite.
Tspam had a queer notion of democracy!

Tspam hates "people" and believes in the polical oligarchy.

Looks like Stalinism 2.0.

And Avraham, who doesn't know religion from superstition, is hardly better than his alter ego Tspam.

Moderation is a virtue, Matt. We, also, should have a clean house. Otherwise the "last-minute Zionists" will spoil the game. You know, those who arrived after Israeli children died to save their state from annihilation and still occasionally give their lives for it. And do not a single thing but benefit from taxpayers' money without having to work in return for it.

Telegramsam believes in Parliamentary democracy. We elect our representatives, preferably in a first-past-the-post system, and they get to debate and vote on issues pertaining to those who elected them. And, if those who elected them feel stiffed, bilked, let down etc by those whom they elected, then we have a chance every five years in Britain (an average of 2.5 years in Israel) to kick out the rascals.

Yes but I like you both and it upsets me when you bicker. It brings back upsetting memories from my childhood.

Now I shall have to eat lots of cake.
