Bill making denial of Israel a crime advances 5.27.2009

JERUSALEM (JTA) -- A bill that would require a one-year prison sentence for anyone speaking against Israel's existence as a Jewish state passed a first reading.

The bill, proposed by Jewish Home Party lawmaker Zevulun Orlev, advanced Wednesday by a vote of 47-34, with one abstention. Knesset members had a heated discussion on the bill before and after the vote.

A Knesset committee will determine when and in what form it should come back to the entire body for a second and third reading.

The measure comes just days after a bill was proposed making it illegal to observe Israel Independence Day as a day of mourning.

The bill is part of two draft laws proposed by the Israel Beiteinu.

The first is the Loyalty Oath Law that obliges all Palestinian Israelis to pledge allegiance to the Jewish identity of the state.

The second is the Nakba Law, which bans commemoration of the 1948 dispossession of the Palestinians as a result of the creation of Israel.
