Benjamin Netanyahu's bill which will allow Jewish Members of the Knesset to expel Arab MKs passed its first vote yesterday. With a simple vote of 90 MKs Muslim members will be suspended from parliament.

This is an Israeli version of democracy; a parliament that represents only Jews.

The bill also gives MK's the ability to ban other MK's who support say, Kach. But its quite obvious its aimed at Arab MK's given the system is balanced pretty much like how Israeli society is balanced.

This appears to be just another stepping stone in Israel's long history of sidelining non-Jewish Israelis.

At first I thought you, Heinie, were exaggerating with the title until I took a closer look at the article. I notice not only does it have a little list of stipulations for allowing members of the Knesset to be barred, but if they challenge the idea of Israel being a "Jewish state" that's also grounds too. Other bourgeois democracies might as well have official rules, too, like American congressmen only being allowed to serve if they recognize "America as a white, Christian nation".

Netayanhu is a disgrace who is intentionally destroying any dim hope for peace between Arabs and Jews. The 2015 election really was the last chance to salvage this situation.

The Arab MKs should go to the PA parliament since they do nothing but showing support to the enemy side and they dont take care about issues in the Israeli Arab society

Measures like these are really quite shocking!

You realise just how far ahead Israel is of the Arab and Muslim world in terms of liberty, democracy and human rights. However this is not a time for arrogance and complacency on Israel's part. They really need to learn a little bit of humility. There's still much they can learn from Bashar Assad on how to deal with Sunni Muslim terrorists.

However I would like to hear the American presidential candidates comment on these measures.
