"The Knesset has been working on a draft constitution for a number of years and there is some hope for it to move forward."
Moving forward? Why don`t I see anything in your newspapers about the progress that is being made?
After reading the following line in Israel`s Declaration of Independence I`m more inclined to believe that things are moving backwards.
"The State of Israel will be open for Jewish immigration and for the Ingathering of the Exiles; it will foster the development of the country for the benefit of all its inhabitants; it will be based on freedom, justice and peace as envisaged by the prophets of Israel; it will ensure complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants irrespective of religion, race or sex; it will guarantee freedom of religion, conscience, language, education and culture; it will safeguard the Holy Places of all religions; and it will be faithful to the principles of the Charter of the United Nations." |
