Every rightist faction and
Knesset member want an anti-Arab
law named after them,

and preferably a law that
targets Arab Knesset members.

This is a "hot" issue;
a worthwhile move ahead of the next elections.

Methodically and consistently,
the Right is attempting to tarnish

government has defrauded the American people out of the nation's wealth.
Specifically, the group claims that the U.S. has secretly sold, leased or
