A planned, but as-of-yet not introduced bill is being hyped by Israel’s far-right coalition, which would give the Interior Ministry broad power to revoke the residency of Arabs deemed to be a threat to “state sovereignty.” Incredibly, the bill will also allow the ministry to expel their relatives, even if they haven’t done anything.
Though it’s being couched as an “anti-terror” measure, the bill also covers people who the government perceives as “inciting violence” through speech or activism, as well as “rioters” and rock-throwers. And obviously all of their families.
Interior Minister Gilad Erdan embraced the idea to give him this huge new power, which Jerusalem’s mayor couched as granting the Israeli government to nullify citizenship or residency of “bad people.” Naturally, the bill only applies to Arabs, and seems to be focused squarely on occupied East Jerusalem.
With public protests a virtually constant thing in East Jerusalem’s remaining Arab neighborhoods, and every protest labeled a “riot,” the bill would give the Interior Ministry the ability to effectively ethnically cleanse those neighborhoods in fairly short order, as virtually everyone has at least one relative involved in one protest or other.
U.S and EU need to revoke every Israelis passports that carrying dual citizen but only working for Israel interests.
Get rid of dual citizenship altogether. It is a bad thing.
Very close to being right (remove the word "dual" and you are there).
Bad people = non-Jews. The late Chief Rabbi of Israel, a government official, Ovadia Yosef, presented the Racism at the core of Judaism when he told the world that non-Jews exist for only one reason – to serve Jews. His explanation is simple, anyone who is not Jewish is not human. That is why Arab lives are nothing to Israelis. [Btw, if you are an American and not Jewish, you too are not human in the eyes of Israeli society and its government. Don't kid yourself on this point.] The problem of Racism is not inherent in Zionism alone, it is a core tenet of Judaism. This or that Jew may claim he is a child of the Enlightenment, but in doing so he is a heretic.to Judaism. This proposed legalization of a 70 year old policy is ethnic cleansing, a sugar pill definition of genocide. Israel is a criminal enterprise.
That will include 90% of their population. Imagine what would happen if Palestinians could have done this 65 years ago.
The result would have been peace on earth.
tadzio308 — “Racism is… a core tenet of Judaism
But surely, Zionist Israel has absolutely nothing to do with a pacifist religion called Judaism, as a correct translation of the Hebrew Sixth Commandment would read, “Do not take the life of any human or unborn baby, or in anyway contribute to their death.”
The fact that “My people Israel” refused to except a pacifist religion, desiring instead a war-hawk dead creed during their 819 years of existence, this establishes that pride can get even the best of us, even our glorious Empire USA.
Can we adopt it here please! and let's get rid of Adelson, Haban, Wolfowitz, Emmanuelle, McCain, Lindsey boy, and the rest of them.
Watch for the zionists and their stooges to justify their latest attempt at ethnic cleansing by using the tired old line of "Israel has a right to defend itself."
The situation is intolerable for Israel! A homemade Palestinian rocket landed in Abe's mother's cow pasture 3 years ago, frightening her milk cow so badly that she (the cow) dried up for a whole week, threatening the life of Abe's 6 month old baby because of a lack of fresh mild. Oyyyyy, the humanity?
Meanwhile in Gaza a couple of thousand Palestinians were bombed to death.
What's next? A proposal for all Arabs to wear yellow patches visible on their clothing, to identify what kind of "bad people" they are? Big yellow crescent moons for Muslims, big yellow crosses for Christian Arabs. That way authorities and the public will know who to hate on sight.
Historically some governments have used the Yellow Patch system to effectively isolate and terrorize the Bad People.
