Excerpts:

Israeli law-makers, intellectuals and even government officials are becoming increasingly open about exploring "prospective solutions" for Palestinian demographic growth in Israel and the occupied territories, with the suggested solutions ranging from collective deportation to institutionalised apartheid.

The number of Jews, he added, would grow to 6.4 million in 2020, with the corresponding figure for non-Jews topping 8.8 million.

Arab Knesset members denounced the meeting as "naked racism," and a " big scandal in a state that claims to be civilised and democratic. It is racist, just racist, there is no other name for it," said Arab Knesset member Hashem Mohamed, who boycotted the meeting.

Knesset member Isam Makhoul of the Democratic Front for Peace and Equality also castigated the meeting. "If anything like this were discussed anywhere in the world, it would be condemned as brash racism, but here, in a state that claims to be the only democracy in the Middle East, we see dignified lawmakers candidly discussing ways and means to curb the birth rate of a given segment of society on the grounds that they don't have the right race and religion. It's racism, it's disgusting."

Again, you are not being honest… (either that or you don’t comprehend what you read)

You said that castration has been discussed in the Knesset as a solution to the Arab population problem…”

Your first attempt to slander Israel did not work and neither does your second attempt.

Let’s look at the article…

On Monday, 16 July, the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defence Committee held an "exploratory session," in which participants discussed "the Arab demographic threat" and the "dangers facing the survival of Israel as a Jewish state."

So a meeting did take place in the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defence Committee regarding the “the Arab demographic threat” and the “dangers facing the survival of Israel as a Jewish state.”

The meeting was attended by several experts, including Haifa University's Arnon Sofer, who advocates "radical solutions for solving the looming demographic problem" facing Israel.

Arnon Sofer’s “radical solutions” are discussed. Now, notice that Arnon Sofer is from the Haifa University and not a member of the Knesset. That’s important.

Now, the article has two members of the Knesset, one Arab and one Jewish who were appalled at the discussion.

Now, watch this… the writer introduces a third party… here we go…

A few months ago, a number of Israeli strategic planners, former army generals and scholars met behind closed doors in Hertzlya in northern Israel to discuss "adequate solutions for dealing with the demographic threat."

This group of people were the ones who brought up “forced sterilization”… not the Knesset.

So, was castration discussed in the Knesset as a way to solve the Arab population problem? So far, the answer would have to be NO.

Unless you have more proof? I would be interested in seeing it if you do.

These last posts of your's make Israel out to be the Mengeles of the Middle East. That is a huge distortion.

Here is the official stand of the Israeli govenment... Ariel Sharon is in favor of a Palestinian state, but not under its current leadership and not while terrorists have free reign from the PA to attack Israel whenever they wish.

Sharon's problem with the Road Map is that it forces a Palestinian State upon Israel within 5 years without dealing with the terror issue, or the long term goals of Arafat to use the Palestinian State to further Palestinian goals to eradicate the state of Israel.

Now, you can ransack the internet to find the fringe elements within Israel that support a number of things... you will find them... that fringe exists in every culture...

But to take the fringe and make it the mainstream Israeli belief or even Israeli government policy is disingeneous and down right dishonest.
