Is the Israeli political establishment about to act against treason at long last?   

Yesterday the Knesset Committee for Internal Affairs approved a bill that would allow judges to strip Israeli citizens of their citizenship if they are involved in espionage, treason, or support for terrorists.  It goes to the full plenum of the Knesset for approval in second and third parliamentary "readings" in a few days.

Once approved, the test of the pudding will be in how the new law is applied.  It is clearly designed to strip spies and traitors like Azmi Bishara of their citizenship.  But all of the Knesset Members from the Arab Stalinist and fascist parties are similarly involved with supporting terrorism against Israel in one form or another.  Why should not they be awarded a one-way free air ticket to the Arab country of their choice? 

Frankly, I would like to see Gush Shalom, Physicians for Human Rights, Taayush, Machsom Watch, the Hookers in Black, Betselem, and other far-Left anti-Israel political groups also charged with supporting terrorism and also have their members' citizenship revoked.  I am sure their members can be granted political asylum in Gaza City.   The Women in Black might be asked to wear chador veils there.  And what about academics and others who serve as human shields in solidarity with wanted terrorists and interfere with IDF anti-terror operations illegally?  

The new law also raises some other interesting ideas.  A few weeks back the Jewish-born Neo-Nazi Norman Finkelstein, fired last year by DePaul University and unemplpyed ever since, tried to enter Israel in his capacity as agent for the Hizballah, but was evicted.  He was shipped to Amsterdam, I guess because of the red lights there.  In any case, he has since been threatening to enter Israel under the Law of Return to engage in his pro-terror politcal activities here.  Well, my suggestion is to let him in, grant him citizenship, then while still at the airport strip him of his citizenship under the new law because he is a Hizballah agent and accomplice of terror, and then jail him in Kitziot prison.

I am sure the Attorney General would welcome our other suggestions of who should be stripped of their citizenship under the new law against accomplices of terror.

And since when are the Oslo folks sitting in the government opposed to collaboration with terrorists?
