Israeli Cabinet approves loyalty oath for new citizens

This CNN article misleads on leaves out an important part of the law. Israeli Cabinet approves loyalty oath for new citizens - CNN.com

Seen here in the Haartz article: cabinet-approves-loyalty-oath
...which would require every non-Jew wishing to become a citizen of Israel would have to vow loyalty to "the State of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state."

So it applies to only the "non-Jewish". My guess is most in the US would think this is not really fair to the 1.5 million Arabs living there,.. so CNN chooses not to bring the suject up. Nice job CNN.

UPDATE: More on this from Jaun Cole: israel-declares-for-ethnic-nationalism

UPDATE II: From No MOre Mister Nice Blog: loyalty-oaf
