In a move likely to further inflame tensions with Israel's Arab citizens, the Israeli Cabinet on Sunday approved a bill to legally define the country as the nation-state of the Jewish people.
The decision, which set off a stormy debate that could bring down Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's brittle coalition government, followed weeks of deadly Arab-Jewish violence and was denounced by critics as damaging to the country's democratic character and poorly timed at such a combustible moment.

Waste of time. Instead of passing resolutions reaffirming the 3000+ years history of the Jewish people and their land, better to resolve the problem by expelling or otherwise neutralizing the IslamoNazi enemy within. Keep them there and troubles will continue indefinitely, no matter what resolutions the Jerusalem government passes or doesn’t pass.

I smell politics here since there’s been talk of an upcoming election in Israel. It could be called as a response to Obama’s dealings with Iran in the coming days......
Is Karl Rove advising Netanyahu?

They should have deported most Arabs in 1967, and kept the Mount. HUGE errors by the Socialist atheists who ran the nation then.

Codifying in Israeli law what's been known since the formation of the state in 1948, prior to that in the Balfour Declaration and the British Mandate. Interestingly the Mandate, a mandate to create not Israel but a Jewish state far larger than the stump Israel fought for, is amongst the League of Nations actions adopted by the UN at it's creation.

Gosh, the Arabs and muzzies might stop liking the Jews if they go through with this. What would this *incitement* do to the *peace process*?!?
