Knesset Bans Membership for Visitors to Enemy Countries
(IsraelNN.com) The Knesset has passed the second and third readings of a bill to keep people who make unauthorized visits to enemy countries from being elected to Israel's parliament.Member of Knesset Zevulun Orlev, who sponsored the bill, said, after the first reading of the bill, that it is "designed to guarantee the faithfulness of Knesset members to the State of Israel as a Jewish state."
Under the law, visitors to enemy nations are banned for seven years from running as candidates on party lists for the Knesset
Wow just as my old coach used to say even a blind squirrel catches an nut once in a while, the Knesset for the first time in a long time gets something right.
The problem is they have left an out in the bill that will allow the high court to certify a Knesset member fit to sit in the Knesset in spite of visiting our enemies.
I would like to see this bill applied to Beilin, Peres and the rest of the Labor party that met with the PLO while it was still a crime, of course I still think it should be a crime.
