Wow, these Israeli right-wingers are ridiculous. Read what one of the march leaders said:
Quote:

There is in Umm al-Fahm a gang of hooligans, who think they can win using violence. The State of Israel is the Jewish people's state. We are here to voice our truth and not to create provocations.
|
So you're not out to provoke the Israeli-Arabs, just march around a predominantly Arab town with a flag with a big Star of David on it and proclaim it's a JEWISH STATE?
If the state wasn't the representation of a religion, maybe this would be acceptable, but we're not in some alternate reality here.
And of course this is all behind the pretense of politics:
Quote:

Mr Lieberman advocates transferring majority-Arab areas in Israel to the control of the Palestinian Authority, and wants to bring in a citizenship law demanding that all Israeli citizens, including Israeli-Arabs, swear allegiance to Israel as a Jewish state.
|
They always have to add "as a Jewish state," not just Israel. Essentially, they want all minority religions in Israel to bow before the primary one.
If they meant Jews as a race instead of the religion, that's even worse. Master Race anyone?
