Knesset oath of office:
"I pledge myself to bear allegiance to the State of Israel and faithfully to discharge my mandate in the Knesset."
Buh-bye. Throw her over the wall into Gaza.
exactly, why hasn't it happened?
Answer: stupid Jews.
yes, dangerously true
Shalom!
Gaza is too good for her. It's part of Israel anyway.
Yes, Gaza had a strong Jewish community until the British did some ethnic cleansing there and threw the Jews out. I have neighbors descended from those Jews.
