Knesset approves ‘racist’ citizenship bill

The Knesset plenum on Thursday approved by a majority of 53 to 25 with one abstention on the final readings of a bill that would prevent Palestinians who marry Israeli citizens from getting citizenship or permanent residency status.

Also in the article;

Bill supporters noted that Palestinians who received Israeli citizenship by marriage were playing a growing role in terror attacks, a phenomenon that Shin Bet head Avi Dichter described in a closed session on Tuesday. Opponents of the bill – Knesset members from Labor, Meretz and the Arab parties – called it racist and inhumane.

I’m sure Tom DeLay is jubilant.
