In the Knesset session, MK Ahmad Tibi declared his complete opposition to the law. “We have faced this unfortunate issue for several years now,” he said. “This law is blatantly inhumane. It prohibits a couple from living together and stops fathers from living with their children. I have never received so many phone calls from parents asking me, ‘What does the law say if my son falls in love with a girl from Ramallah or Nablus? Is it permissible or not?’”

Reader responses to the article

Read, Tibi. No one forbid this man from falling in love with a girl from Ramallah or Nablus from living in Ramallah or Nablus. I don’t want my taxes to go to a fifth column conspiring against the state—Sami.

Contrary to the claims of that gang, Peace Now, which controls the media, the law does not prevent Palestinians with blue identity cards from living with Palestinians without identity cards. It allows them family reunification outside the borders of Israel. Those who want to reunite should do it, but not in Israel—AAA.

You want family reunification? There are some 200 countries in the world. Choose—Anonymous.

We need to stop using the word “Palestinians” immediately! There is no such thing! It’s clear to everyone that we’re an unbalanced country, and not a small numbers of commentators here will bring disaster on us all! I accuse the government, MKs, the media, and many more! I can’t understand why they have to come here and write things that are untrue! There never was and never will be a people like this. So I suggest everyone stop using this word, which will only harm us! I hope my ideas reach the appropriate parties! Israel for Israelis—Oz.

Arabs are hypocrites! Go back to the Arabs!—Moshe.
