Avigdor Lieberman would also take the vote away from the ultra-Orthodox who won’t serve in the Army as well as “disloyal” Arabs. My preference is to live in an America based on liberty than countries based on ethnicity, religion, or mindless military servitude. Of course, current America doesn’t live up to the ideal as politicians and judges have corrupted and perverted our constitution with the consent of the sheeple (Abe 200th birthday Lincoln’s) “government of the people”. Israel Arabs supporting Hamas have helped to create the Lieberman phenomena but the idea of conditional citizenship where rights are defined by politicians rather than being inherent is a dangerous road. What next – Shas will demand taking the vote away from anyone eating a pork chop or wearing a miniskirt as being “disloyal to Judaism”? “We had to destroy Israel in order to save it??!!”
