A question relevant for this week is why is our idiot president interfering in Israeli politics.

Because D.C. interferes in everyone's politics...everywhere?

Only a leftist would be alarmed at that.

Who said Hanania is alarmed?

And Richard is not a leftist...or a rightwinger...he presents himself as a centrist on most issues.
so then what's the point of your post? What are you trying to prove? That Israel has ultra-conservative nationalists in their political spectrum? Every country has ultra-conservative nationalists in their political spectrum. Why is this remarkable for Israel?

Calm down...no one is trying to prove anything with the Hanania tweet.

Its just interesting when discussing Israel-Palestine to discuss the demographics of the place.

The Arab and Secularist birth rates are going down. The Hasidic birth rates are staying at high levels.

This will eventually have a political/voting effect.

But the Hasidic are not all nationalists...in fact many are anti-Zionist or at least Zionist skeptical.

In fact there is a lot of friction between the secularists and nationalists on one side and the Hasidic on the other.

[From the founding of political Zionism in the 1890s, Haredi Jewish leaders voiced objections to its secular orientation, and before the establishment of the State of Israel, the vast majority of Haredi Jews were opposed to Zionism... This was chiefly due to the concern that secular nationalism would redefine the Jewish nation from a religious community based in their alliance to God for whom adherence to religious laws were "the essence of the nation's task, purpose, and right to exists," to an ethnic group like any other as well as the view that it was forbidden for the Jews to re-constitute Jewish rule in the Land of Israel before the arrival of the Messiah.]

Ironically, you are describing a dynamic of open debate on matters of policy squarely within conventional classical liberal traditions of democratic processes within a multi-racial, multi-religious parliamentary republic.

Its more bi-racial than multi-racial.

[In 2008, of Israel's 7.3 million people, 75.6 percent were Jews of any background]

[Arab residents in Israel...representing 21% of Israel's population]

96% of the population is either Jewish or Arab

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Israel

With one of the races in a 2nd class status if they live in an illegally occupied area (those who live in the West Bank) where they can not even use the same roads as Israeli citizens or vote.

And some serious discrimination for those who even have Israeli citizenship

[Under international law, an occupying state is considered a temporary administratorrather than a sovereignof the territory it occupies. This means it is obligated to preserve the territory's pre-seizure state as much as possible. But in the West Bank, Israel has done the oppositeacting as sovereign by harnessing the territory's land and resources in the service of a colossal colonization project, mostly in the form of Israeli settlements.

Since 1967, Israel has built more than 130 settlements (and helped build about 140 settler outposts) in the West Bank; today, 700,000 Israeli settlers live in the territory, about 230,000 of them in East Jerusalem, according to Peace Now, an Israeli nongovernmental organization where I serve as legal advisor. Israeli settlers, who have full civil and political rights and are seamlessly connected to Israel's infrastructure and resources, reside alongside millions of Palestinians subject to Israeli military rule who have zero say over how they are governed. Numerous leading Israeli and international nongovernmental organizations have likened this bifurcated system to apartheid. (I authored the first report from such an Israeli groupYesh Dinin 2020.)]

I'm not sure if you are being serious with this question.

Palestine (West Bank) is under Israeli military occupation.

(A international condemned illegal occupation at that)

The 500,000 Israeli settlers there do NOT allow themselves to be placed under Palestinian authority or answer to Palestine laws or recognize Palestine sovereignty.

Not to mention that the Palestinian authority only has partial administrative control of certain areas (areas the Jewish settlers allow them to have) and is in a very real sense a vassal to the more powerful State of Israel (the overall military governing power)

I just answered your question. The Jewish settlers in the occupied West Bank do not consider themselves citizens of Palestine and will not recognize the Palestinian authority or serve in its government.

A government that is a vassal state to their military occupation and that has no authority over Jewish settler controlled areas.

The concept of "why are there no Jews in the occupied Palestinian government" is like asking "why are there no Americans in the Iraqi provisional government or why are there no Germans in the occupied French Vichy government"….in all these cases they have no jurisdiction over the military occupying power or its citizens.

As far as Muslims in the Knesset I can not say. Arabs are 20% of the Israel population and many are Christians as well as Muslims.

There are only 10 Arabs in Knesset (8.5% of the body)

Which is interesting since Arabs make up 21% of the entire population. Proportionally there should be more like 25 Arab members.

But of course there are Arab members in the Knesset since Arabs recognize Israeli law and allow themselves to be placed under Israeli authority and vote in elections.

Jewish settlers in the West Bank do not do the same thing…and fight to prevent that.

So Muslims actively participate equally in the government of Israel, but there is not a single Jew with power in Palestinian-controlled areas. Thank you for confirming.

Yes Muslims are loyal citizens of Israel and recognize Israel law and the political system and serve in the Knesset (even if for some reason a rates far below their real population percentage)

Israel settlers in the West Bank refuse to be governed by Palestinian law, refuse to recognize the Palestinian authority, and refuse to serve in its government.

Heck Jewish settlers won't even use the same roads that Palestinians use.

Please drop this stick where you pretend not to be able to read or grasp the difference…

How many non-Muslims are in the Iranian Parliament?
Not sure the relevance since Iran is a not an Arab State (they are actually Persians)....is Shiite instead of Sunni...and not a vassal state/or under occupation.

But interestingly enough even though it is a actual Islamic Theocracy...in Iran there are actually Christians, Zoroastrians, and Jews in its Parliament.

[Currently, there are 290 members of Parliament, elected for a four-year term. There are five seats reserved for religious minorities , with two for the Armenian Christians and one each for the Assyrians, Jews and Zoroastrians. MPs are popularly elected for four-year terms. About 8% of the Parliament are women, while the global average is 13%]

[At around 10:00 am, in Haifa, a bus carrying a number of Israeli settlers arrived at Mar Elias Monastery in Al-Quds and attempted to storm the church and take it over. However, Palestinian churchgoers fought back and forced settlers to retreat before the IOF arrived at the scene.

According to Palestinian media, this is not the first incident of its kind. In fact, Israeli settlers attempted to storm the same church twice. Wadih Abu Nasser, advisor and media spokesperson of the Assembly of Catholic Ordinaries of the Holy Land, was asked if there would be a framework set in place to defend the church and protect the Christian Palestinian community that attends mass there.

To that point, Abu Nasser said that the monastery is looking into "setting up gates around the perimeter, in such a way that when anyone storms or crosses over the gate, they can legally hold them accountable]

Geez, talk about framing bias. 30 radical Jews riot at a Palestinian Christian Church and this is evidence that Israel is a colonial apartheid state?

If their demands seem unreasonable, how about the Dome of the Rock? Are you familiar with that one?

After talking with a friend who took the same tour 6 months ago, we decided to pass.

I think a better question is did you watch the video? Radical settlers and ultra-orthodox surround the Church and try to close down Christian services...also demanding the site be turned into a Synagogue because they think a Prophet is buried there....and I guess you like it?

Violent confrontation in Haifa: Breslav Hasidim were violently removed from a monastery

[The Stella Maris Monastery is once again the center of conflict - About 30 Hasidim came to the site, claiming that the prophet Elisha is buried there, and the Catholics pushed them out; At the same time: an unknown person burst into another church in the city with a dog during prayer]

[At around 10:00 am, in Haifa, a bus carrying a number of Israeli settlers arrived at Mar Elias Monastery in Al-Quds and attempted to storm the church and take it over. However, Palestinian churchgoers fought back and forced settlers to retreat before the IOF arrived at the scene.

According to Palestinian media, this is not the first incident of its kind. In fact, Israeli settlers attempted to storm the same church twice. Wadih Abu Nasser, advisor and media spokesperson of the Assembly of Catholic Ordinaries of the Holy Land, was asked if there would be a framework set in place to defend the church and protect the Christian Palestinian community that attends mass there.

To that point, Abu Nasser said that the monastery is looking into "setting up gates around the perimeter, in such a way that when anyone storms or crosses over the gate, they can legally hold them accountable]


A few days ago my wife and I were offered a tour of the Holy Land led by our Catholic priest.

After talking with a friend who took the same tour 6 months ago, we decided to pass.


Update

Wife changed her mind and asked that I go with her.

11days in the Holy Land.

11days of little sleep, hours on a bus and Mass every single day.

Yep, going to be loads of fun .

Hamas lauches thousands of rockets against Israel.

At least 22 killed.

Others captured by Hamas forces.

Israel declares war.




Wonder if the US has still another 72 billion dollars to give away ?
