He saying that there are other religious denominations in Israel but only a Jew is allowed to be president. I guest it is more of a cast system than a democracy. Similar to the less civilized parts of India and Pakistan.
Hmm only a natural born citizen in America can become President... Though Israel has many different cultures/religions living in harmony one must still realize it is still the Jewish State...geez

They should allow a NAZI or a COMMUNIST to become the PRESIDENT of a JEWISH COUNTRY.

You have to be born in America. Even if you are born in Israel it is only for Jewish people. How primitive is that? I am pretty sure farm animals have a more complex social system than Israel.

Just because Israel became a state in no way means they cannot be the aggressors.
After the dissolution of the All-Palestine Government in 1959, under the excuse of pan-Arabism, Egypt continued to occupy the Gaza Strip until 1967. Egypt never annexed the Gaza Strip, but instead treated it as a controlled territory and administered it through a military governor.[11] The influx of over 200,000 refugees into Gaza during the war resulted in a dramatic decrease in the standard of living. Because the Egyptian government restricted movement to and from the Gaza Strip, its inhabitants could not look elsewhere for gainful employment.

The bottom line in 2014 is there are 4 or more countries that would love to push every Jew in Israel into the sea, its a pure outright holy war. these countries will feed Gaza Strip weapons until every person is killed on either side since they care little other than to wipe Israel off the map. If Israel shows any weakness these countries would invade in a second if they thought that would work. Israel also doesn't have the luxury of size, one well placed nuke and they are done. They are fighting for their lives, something we in America/Europe can not comprehend.
Also there are way too many of you that are arm chair quarterbacks in all this. You do not have a freakin clue, and just mold your views on your very narrow search for understanding, driven by bias.
Jews can be some very compassionate people but when you threaten them they will kill without remorse, so maybe if groups would stop trying to kill them they just might be nicer...

Ok, so you are suggesting that about 90% of the countries in the world are lower than farm animals social system? I'm sure in Iran a Jew or Christian could become president? Want me to name another 100 countries?
Once again why the hate for one country when there are so many you could hate even more?

Also a real Democracy wouldn't pass laws that says minorities in their country are not allowed to have a majority in government.
A real democracy wouldn't pass laws that says minorities cannot........have a majority in government?
This comment is representative of your thought processes.
What is your defense of this irrational statement?
He saying that there are other religious denominations in Israel but only a Jew is allowed to be president. I guest it is more of a cast system than a democracy. Similar to the less civilized parts of India and Pakistan.
Any Israeli citizen who is a resident of the State is eligible to run for President.
4. Every Israel national who is a resident of Israel is qualified to be a candidate for the office of President of the State.

I already corrected my mistake in an earlier post. Way to go.
And shut up about the law already, they are a sovereign state.
And you are still wrong. The Israeli's still started that war. They are part of the UN at least they claim this when it benefits them so they are still bound by international law. Just because you are ignorant of the history of that terrorist state you are supporting doesn't mean I have to shut up.

A black man was always allowed to be the POTUS. of coarse no one believed it till it happened. I guess when Israel gets it's first non Jewish prez we will see just how far behind Israel is from the free world.

Those counties have no problem with JEWS. It is Israel that they want either gone or cooperating. Jews live happy 8n Syria, Iran, Egypt and everywhere else in the region. Jews are not threatened by anyone. They are not fighting for their lives. They are fighting for a dream of having a Jewish controlled middle east. Don't we all wish we could live out our dream? Killing people to achieve it might be considered unacceptable.
Oh! Well you see, here in a civilized part of the world we call the police when threatened. Its the LAW! Law is something that Israel struggles with because they cannot sell one that is fair without exacting control over all that are not Jewish. Israel views about the rest of the world makes the Nazi's look like care bears.

Exactly. UN Charter law applies to all countries. They cannot strike any other country unilaterally or preemptively, but only in response to actually attack. For example, it was illegal under international law for Israel to strike in Syria last year a convoy of suspected weapons that Israel claimed were destined for Lebanon or Israel's enemies. Preemptive strikes are prohibited.

The rest of history is filled with people of one place invading and taking over land which is already occupied by someone else.
YEP.
Doesn't matter where a person is or where they live.
The land they currently sit on was taken from someone else.
NUMEROUS examples of that exist since recorded history.
There is no one living that can judge.
NO ONE.
What a complete load of cobblers
I am a "Briton"
The history of Briton goes back to 9600 BC, when the first Britons inhabited these islands. Before then the islands where barren of humans.

If the Arab world wants to stop losing land to Israel they should stop picking fights with Israel.
Is the young state of Israel guilty of very aggressively protecting their very existence - at any cost? Yes. Will I judge them for that? No way. The Palestinians have a bigger bone to pick with the other Arab nations that treats them like dogs.
Egypt, Jordan, Syrian, Lebanon (in so much as it gets run over by it's neighbours to get to Israel) need check their egos at the door, accept that Israel exists - has a right to exist - and stop attacking them directly and via proxies.
To get into the long and horrible list of who did what to whom and why is getting the region nowhere. A lot of people have died in the Levant since the mandate. The world is not going back to the situation pre-Lawrence of Arabia so the neighboring states need to just drop it.

I never said it was very likely, but you said it wasn't allowed...
And Israel IS part of the free world. Much more free than most. Not perfect, but better than the US, that's why I came here am staying as long as I can. I'll leave the specifics for another thread though.

Iran would be a fair comparison if the nation was stolen from Jews over the last 60 years.
