Yes. That is likely to happen soon. 6chars Jul 2016 #2

There is nothing objectionable leftynyc Jul 2016 #5

There is no one in the Knesset who could possibly deserve expulsion. n/t. Ken Burch Jul 2016 #6

Have you ever heard of the United States? FBaggins Jul 2016 #9

There were quite a few at the start of the Civil War FBaggins Jul 2016 #13

Most of those expelled were Southern sympathizers, Little Tich Jul 2016 #17

One could easily argue that "southern sympathizers" were ejected for their poltical views FBaggins Jul 2016 #21

There you go again, pretending the Balad MK's don't support terrorists (see post #28 above) shira Jul 2016 #34
