It's not what you say but the way that you say it

Exactly. You know what I love about these right-wing Zionists urging us to vote against the BNP on Thursday? I love it that they cannot bring themselves to take a robust stand against an Israeli government which wants to introduce racist laws which make the BNP seem tame.
Why are they aligning themselves with a gang of brownshirts (Yisrael Beiteinu) that will take the country to fascist hell if they aren't stopped in time.
When a well-meaning minister invents a law that will prevent demonstrations against public officials near their houses, it smells bad. It irritates. It reminds you of places and times you would rather forget.
When a malicious little paskudnyak who plays a big patriot invents a law that will prohibit Israeli Arabs to mark the Nakba, it starts stinking. You have to sit up, smell the air and ask yourself what the hell is going on in the country you support?
When that same gang of brownshirts invents a law that requires Israeli citizens to pledge an oath of allegiance, you may think a first that OK, quite a few countries have their folks doing the same as a precondition to getting that red or blue or green passport. But then you notice that "I pledge to be loyal to the State of Israel as a Jewish, Zionist and democratic state...". And it starts stinking to high heaven. And you don't see red anymore - just brown.

When some of you support people who wouldn't know democracy if the democracy bit them on their fascist backsides and, in fact, couldn't care less about democracy, Israel wil pay. Not immediately, no - it will take some time. Or some of you may find out that Israel is not exactly your homeland anymore.

Agree with most of that, though I wouldn't say that the laws the Israeli far right want to bring in make the BNP look tame - they are of a piece.

And thinking israelis are denouncing the right wingers for the racists and fascists they are - just as we need to remember that the BNP may dress like management consultants and estate agents these days but they still pushing the same ideology as they always did.

Fascists and racists are always the enemy of humanity where ever they reside in Barking, Tel-Aviv or wherever

Democracy allows people like "shtekhler and lord reith" the opportunity to blog on this web-site.
People who at best are Jewish, but so left wing they are off the scale, or at worst people who are not even Jewish but blog rubbish just to wind us all up.
The United States and the UK both have an oath of allegiance for new immigrants, this is what is proposed in Israel.
Israel is a Jewish Country, if any non-Jew, Arab or Gentile, wants to live in Israel they have to respect the laws of the Country and not, as some of the Arab MK's are doing, attempt to undermine and incite anti-Israel and anti-Jewish feeling under a platform of "democracy".
If, by being a "racist" in Israel you mean the belief that Israel is a Jewish Country and the belief in the right of all Jews to live in Israel in Peace and Security in Israel - then yes, i will be the first to admit i am a "racist".
No, we do not want the Naqba recognised in Israel, if you look at the Naqba suppporting groups all over Facebook and other places on the the internet you will see why, Muslim fundementalism does NOT advocate a two-state solution, but a One state solution- that of an Arab Muslim State in Israel. Look at the material put out in to the PA controlled schools, even Barak Obama said last week that the incitment and hatefilled propoganda put out by Abbas and the PA in their schools must stop.
Thank G-d under Netanyahu the Two State solution in Israel is off the agenda for the forseeable future.
But, shtekler, lord reith and all you other lefties out there don't get upset, I have two other "Two State" solutions for you to start campainging for:-
1. The United State of America; sub divide Nevada, Arizona, areas where there is a prevelance of "ethnic red indian homelands" and we have a "Two State" solution to give back the "ethnic red indians" their right to "self-determination in their own homeland.
2. Australia; sub divide Northern Australia, areas where there is a a prevelance of "Aboriginal homelands" and we have a "Two State solution to give back the "aboriginal" australians their right to "self-determination" in their own homeland.
Come on, I want to see a vociferous anti- American and anti- Australian campaign in the Left Wing media, advocating these "New Two State-Solutions" - you know the sort of thing!

Jon_i_Cohen, don't know if you have noticed but the Palestinians aren't the new immigrants. The Jews are. The Palestinians are indigenous. Also, if I were you, I'd check what the Palestinians were writing in the 19th century about the Zionist colonisation project before declaring that before Arafat there were no Palestinians. As for Bibi's agenda, he'll go down in history as the man who brought about the binational state between the Sea and the River. And that ain't a bad thing.
