For the first time since the creation of Israel 62 years ago, new citizens will be obliged to pledge loyalty to Israel as a "Jewish and democratic state." The bill which was supported by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came despite a split within his own ruling Likud party after some predicted the new legislation was a terrible mistake which would incite the Arab minority. The loyalty pledge was the brainchild of Avigdor Lieberman, the hard-right foreign minister whose party had proposed the similar loyalty oath for all Arab citizens as part of its last election campaign.
The loyalty oath and the insistence that the Palestinian Authority recognize Israel as a Jewish state are said by some to be both racist and discriminatory. Other countries in the world including Britain ask potential citizens to take a test and in the USA when immigrants want to become Americans they must take a civic test as part of their naturalization interview.
This episode of Press TV's The Agenda asks whether loyalty oaths are really necessary. Yvonne Ridley's guests for today's show are Ken O'Keefe, Geoffrey Alderman and Nathalie Rothschild. Enjoy the show.

Nazi occuping zionists, a disgrace to Real Jews

@bilboinc It doesn't confirm anything.
You brought the Bible into this, I was simply correcting your use of it. The idea of Zionism is the re-founding of Israel as it was initially created in biblical times. It is, therefore, impossible to have been a Zionist prior to the Exile of the Jews.
I don't think we're debating anything here anyhow. I'm a non-believer, for the record. ;)

@UllrePallson by saying " AFTER the Exile" you confirm your belief in the jewish/moses myth.

@bilboinc The father of Israel is surely Moses.
The actuality of Zionism didn't even become a reality until AFTER the Exile. So that statement is blatant falsity. In any case, the majority of Israel is either a) non-practicing or b) atheist.
In short, they don't give to licks what the Bible says. They call themselves Jewish because they view it as a distinct culture of their own; but they will most openly admit to you that they harbor no belief for any God whatsoever.

@UllrePallson the father of zionism is moses, zionists claim their god gave him in the name of the jews the title deeds to the land of israel/palastine, and that the bible is proof of this.

@bilboinc I think people would like Israel much more if it were founded by the type of people who originated its modern ideal; not the quasi-Communists who ended up actually creating it.
The "father of Zionism", as he is known in Israel today, wanted to knowingly admister an Israel which was predominantly European and who used both Yiddish and German as "official languages".

Rothshilds operate a mass murdering cabal of occultists in big business and government.
Rothschilds run sex slavery rings.
Rothschilds commit genocide on all non-Jews.
Rothschilds ordered the murder of JFK and RFK.
Rothschilds lead Zionism which is based on the Jews' Talmud. The Talmud tells Jews that they can rob and kill others without being punished. The Talmud is a book of Jew laws that encourage Jews to live as predators who steal and kill as a way of life.
