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.

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

In addition to "transferring" a significant number of the non-Jewish population out of "Eretz Israel," participants also reportedly discussed other alternatives, including institutionalised apartheid (whereby non-Jews would be granted civil rights while denied political rights), forced sterilisation, induced immigration (through economic pressure), and "other solutions."

Nothing I could write is more enlightening than this quote."other solutions" do concern me, however.
