A right-wing MK sparred with the chairman of a pro-coalition Arab faction overnight, after the Knesset voted to back a controversial bill aimed at offering electricity hookups to illegal Bedouin homes.
The Knesset voted 61 to 48 Monday night to back MK Waleed Taha's (United Arab List) so-called “Electricity Law” in its first of three readings.
Following the Knesset vote, Religious Zionist Party chief MK Bezalel Smotrich demanded that the United Arab List, which drafted and lobbied for the bill’s passage, explicitly condemn the recent wave of Arab terrorist attacks in Israel.
UAL chief MK Mahmoud Abbas walked out of the Knesset plenum, refusing to respond to Smotrich’s demand.
“Mansour Abbas’ silence is deafening,” said Smotrich, “it is a thundering support for terrorism and a backing of terror. And the silence of his coalition partners is no less deafening.”
The bill is controversial as it would approve the connection of tens of thousands of illegally built homes in the Arab sector to the electricity grid.
According to the proposal, the Minister of the Interior will be entitled to stipulate in an order that it is possible to connect a residential building located in a certain area, defined in the order, to electricity, water or a telephone line, even without the existence of a building permit and certificate of completion for that building. The conditions for issuing the order are: A plan was submitted by one of the parties listed in the bill, the structure for which the connection was requested was established by January 1, 2018, and no construction was added after that date. The buildings in question belong to the Bedouin in the Negev.

Back in the day, there wasn't an industrialized country that did nor have young people, in the same (denim) uniform, smoking the same dope, acting and re-acting identically to various input, speaking the same language and unified under a common thread .... "US involvement in Viet Nam"
Great Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Japan, Australia, India and of course our own U S of A.
It seemed the entire world responded to our participation in an unfavorable war ? and the news from every land had identical pictures of sit ins, love ins, Woodstock-type music festivals and the like.
For a time, (imo and my own analysis) the planet was Satanically unified against a common enemy (The USA).
Now comes a report of our soul brother nation, Israel ... so many ways a reflection of our own values and world view, with the same crazies in their "congress".
Remove anything Israeli from this account and insert The United States and it makes perfect Texas, or squad, or democrat sense compared to our modern poitics

about
The communication network "Channel 7" includes a website with news 24 hours a day that includes television broadcasts, radio, Jewish content, security sections, political affairs, children, tourism, sports, youth, medicine and more.
Channel 7 currently operates three news and content sites in three languages: Hebrew, English and Russian.
The Channel 7 website was founded on the Channel 7 radio station that broadcast from the sea more than twenty years ago. The radio station was established in the late 1980s by Rebbetzin Shulamit Melamed, the wife of Rabbi Zalman Melamed, one of the top rabbis in religious Zionism, Yaakov (Katzela) Katz and Yoel Tzur.
Radio was very quickly an alternative to all the radio channels that existed then and the message in them was a message from the left side of the political map. The channel broadcast not only innovative and interesting current affairs but also Torah and Judaism lessons alongside Hebrew songs, songs of the beautiful Land of Israel, Hassidic and Oriental songs.
The channel broadcast via the ship "Eretz Hatzvi" which docked off the coast of Tel Aviv, right next to the radio station of the leftist Ivy Natan (who was praised for his activities in contrast to the Channel 7 people who were persecuted for their activities).
All attempts to legally regulate the station were in vain because many in the legal system saw the station as a threat to left-wing rule in Israel. Even a law by MK Zvi Handel that would allow Channel 7 broadcasts was passed in the Knesset, but was surprisingly rejected by nine High Court judges.
At the end of 2003, radio activity was stopped after the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court ruled that it was an illegal station and even imposed heavy fines and prison sentences on its managers and spines.
Even before it closed, the channel began broadcasting on the Internet and was among the first news sites in Israel. Today, Channel 7 is the largest and leading news site in the religious community that provides news, through reporters in Israel and abroad, 24 hours a day, until the beginning of Shabbat and the end of Shabbat. The site operates with the assistance of the Friends of Channel 7.
In order to give the spiritual message that emanated from the ship Pethon here another media was established and it is the newspaper at seven.
Despite the site's clear political line, the policy is to allow freedom of expression for every Jew to have his say. The site advocates the unity of the religious camp in all its shades despite the disagreements.
With the help of the Friends of Channel 7, the site provides surfers with Torah lessons, a variety of programs for very successful children called Yaldos. Tours and trips in Israel, corners on children's education, diverse Jewish and Israeli music, questions and answers on family and parenting.
Articles on a variety of topics also appear in English and Russian.
The parallels are not exact. But I dig it, man.
The Arab citizens of Israel - who Israel should be proud of for Israel is without major civil disturbances by its Arab citizens - are applying the same requests Conservative Jewish citizens successfully obtained for illegal Jewish settlements. And there I mean Jewish settlements in the west bank erected without permits from Israel or anyone else. Why should Arab Bedouin citizens of Israel expect less.
