Israel passes law to remove citizenship from terrorists

Israel's Knesset has given final approval to legislation that would strip Israeli citizenship from terrorists whose goal is to kill Israelis. The law would also apply to the families of the scumbags.

The legislation was passed with 94 votes, with 10 anti-Semitic Knesset members, all from Arab parties, voting against it. Yes, Israel actually has Arab members in its parliament while no Arab country on Earth can say the same for having Jews in their government. And still the anti-Zionists/anti-Semites claim Israel is an apartheid state.

The legislation was supported by the opposition and was widely expected to pass, because the opposition party is not suicidal.

The bill empowers the Interior Minister to revoke citizenship or temporary residence status for people convicted of terror and other security offenses. It could also be applied to families that receive terror stipends from the Palestinian Authority. And while it will not stop anti-Israel terrorism [because it's an Islamic edict, Qu'ran 2:191] it will likely make Israel a bit safer.

The Interior Minister will also be empowered to act against terror convicts who do not have a secondary citizenship elsewhere, as long as they have a permanent residence status somewhere outside of Israel. It also enables individuals to be deported to the Palestinian Authority.

The Interior Minister is required to hold a hearing before revoking anyone’s citizenship.

MK Oded Forer of the opposition Israel Beiteinu party, who was one of the law’s initiators, said, “Today we took another step in the fight against terrorism. The law I passed today is a closure order for the terrorist camp funded by Abu Mazen! From now on every terrorist will know that he will pay a heavy price for harming the citizens of Israel.”

The PA is mandated to provide 7% of its annual budget to their "Martyr's Fund," that gives money to Palestine terrorists incarcerated in Israel, and the families of terrorists killed in attacks against Jews. The amount of money may depend on how many Jews were killed in an attack, or how long has the jihadi incarcerated and the size of the family.

Payouts by Ramallah has been going on for years but the issue came into the public spotlights after the murder of Taylor Force, a young U.S. citizen killed by a Palestinian terrorist who went on a stabbing rampage in Jaffa in 2018.

Congress passed the Taylor Force Act, which halted U.S. aid to the Palestinians as long as terror stipends are being paid out. The Democrats of the so called "Squad" which includes Reps. Rashida Tlaib (MI), Ilhan Omar (MN), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY), and Ayanna Pressley (MA) were all against the bill and consider Israel to be the enemy.
