In general, I don't agree with granting automatic citizenship to a person simply because they marry a citizen of a country. In Ireland you can't get citizenship by simply marrying a person (it hasn't stopped a few of the more enterprising refugees from trying it anyway - just in case ). Marrying an Irish citizen allows you to apply for citizenship, but you can still be rejected.

Despite this, I'm not in favour of what Israel was attempting to do - it's too selective. What Israel should do is enforce this law in all cases i.e. no matter what country someone's from, they can't gain automatic citizenship simply by marrying an Israeli; then they wouldn't leave themselves open to these accusations being aired on CNN.

I'm surprised that Israelis are marrying into Arab terrorist families though. I would have imagined that Israeli's would have been more cautious; i.e. they would perform a quick background check (go and meet the immediate family of the spouse) to see if any of the family were involved with the militant groups. If what I've seen on television is true, Palestinians involved with Hamas and the other terrorist groups aren't exactly shy about admitting it.

hi ,

actually we are more relaxed when it comes to our laws compared to the countries of the EU or north america in regards of immigration , .......

if we where to act and work like the US ins our people would simply not accept it , .....

yet its accepted in most countries ( simple laws of imm and customs ) if we as the Israeli nation try to implement them we get a crapload of BS trown at our heads , ........ funny world , ....

Uh how is this not a racist law Siro? You're essentially treating Israeli Arabs as 2nd class citizens.

How the flying f&ck are we treating Israeli arabs as 2nd class citizens with this law?

I promise you that any Jewish person who wants to marry a Palestinian (and yes, there are such marriages. not many, but several every year) will be just as troubled.

Another problem is that using the previous law, the Palestinians got to realize the "Demand for Return": Palestinians would marry Israelis by the dozens (sometimes fictitiously) and immigrate inside Israel.

Yes, your right. Israel isn't even IN the West Bank or Gaza! It's simply an anti-sematic conspiracy by everyone else in the world! There is no demolishing of houses or shooting of reporters! No oppression! No curfew!
Thats...um...What the Palestinans are doing to ISRAELIS!!! Palestine has invaded Israel and is forcing all the Israelis into their homes! Theyre putting up settlements in all Israeli territories and demolishing Israeli houses!!! They must be stopped immediately!

Panag, your attempti to shift the blame for your jingoism to me will fail At least I acknowledge my nations problems and wish to solve them. Because if one does not acknowledge the problem exists...It can never be solved.
I do support the Jews and their quest for a homeland. But when they have to opress and kill innocents for that homeland, ESPECIALLY considering the same thing happend to them, it disgusts me. I'm not anti-semetic, however I am extremly disappointed with not only the Israeli government but the Israeli people for allowing this to continue. History has given them a hard lesson, and they would rather push it into the back of their minds instead of embracing it and preventing it from happening again.

just a simple Q , if you can post at apolyton , then you must be able to find an internet search machine , right , .......

well ones you have done that , and ones you have seen a bit about facts you share them with us , ........

you dont have a clue what you are talking about or what the facts are , THATS a fact , ......

oh , btw , you are always welcome to come and see for yourself about the facts , ..........


and i dont have to shift any blame what so ever , ....

if there is someone to blame then its people from 10 000 miles away who want to shove us false facts and other BS like yours down our troaths , ......

and the sad thing about it is that we as a people in Israel have to pay for that with the ultimate price , THATS a fact , .....

oh yes , i did not try to " attempti " anything at all , .....

its you who is trying for who knows what reason to spread BS on Israel , its people and its situation , both from the past and today , THATS an other fact , ......

and as for the rest of some people , well if you want a tour you know where to write , then you can come and see for yourself , that is if you have the courage , because in doing so some would have to admit they are wrong , .......

alright let's say an ethnic Japanese person and an ethnic Arab both were balawombangoan... does that mean they are both from the same ethnic group?


Look up the definitions of Nation and State in the dictionary Speer. A state is a single political entity, while a nation is a group of people of the same ethnicity. Thus Cherokee nation, but the State of Oklahoma. Nation States are entities where these distinctions significantly overlap, like France or Spain or Japan.

Pay him no heed, David. Comrade Tassadar is a Net Rat, a kid pretending to be an married man with kids. Perhaps when he matures some, he will understand how completely inappropriate it is to compare Israel to the Nazis, as no matter what you think of Israel's policies they have done nothing close to wide-scale extermination policies pereprtrated by Nazi Germany.

to Israel for defending itself. Seems like a no brainer- when a populace is engaged in an active campaign to murder your populace, you don't let the populace trying to destroy you gain citizenship in your country.

Panag, your diversion attempts are not going to work. I've encountered them enough times to expose them every time they happen.
So, let me get this straight: There is NO occupation of Palestine, there are NO buildings being demolished, the people of Israel PROFOUNDLY support a Palestinian homeland, the people of Israel DO NOT support this law, and the people of Israel PROFOUNDLY support equal rights for Palestine?

Answer each with a yes or no question please. Any other answers will be constituted as a diversion tactic and will be exposed as such.

Pssst: There already is one!

And Palestine is about to be yet another homeland for the Palestinian people, when two are already in place (Lebanon and Jordan, all of which were to some extent parts of palestine).
