So they’ve really passed it…The Knesset represents all political tendencies. If a majority in this parliament can be mean and ugly enough to pass such an abomination, then the whole country must be morally bankrupt and beyond repair.

This goes way beyond a small group of extremists holding the country to hostage. It’s actually the whole country which is rotten to the core I’m afraid.

Thoughts???

Read it. Reaching for conclusions in some places.

Iran keeps attacking UAE and UAE isn’t supposed to fight back. Poorly written article on the whole. Both the Saudi and the UAE along with the other Gulf states want the war to continue.
