Threat of the 'Thought Police' alarms Israel's Arab minority

Freedom to oppose Israel's right to exist among acts that right-wing politicians are attempting to outlaw

Israeli Arab leaders have called an emergency meeting today to discuss their growing alarm over a series of "racist and fascist" bills being promoted by right-wing members of the country's parliament. One of the bills has already brought fierce accusations from two prominent Jewish Knesset members that its backers are trying to create a "thought police" and "punish people for talking".

"It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place or within range of a telescreen. The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself--anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face...; was itself a punishable offense. There was even a word for it in Newspeak: facecrime..."

"Thoughtcrime does not entail death; thoughtcrime is death."

"Never again will you be capable of ordinary human feeling. Everything will be dead inside you. Never again will you be capable of love, or friendship, or joy of living, or laughter, or curiosity, or courage, or integrity. You will be hollow. We shall squeeze you empty and then we shall fill you with ourselves."

~ George Orwell (1984)

Israel is still in the hands of its nazi government. pity is that EU and US are still helping them to stay so by not putting the embargo on that country. more, they still give them money even when Israel is not keeping to any UN resolution regarding the Palestine.

this Bill is already in use. this would be only to make it official.
s and f

Why do they even care?

The UN has been telling them for decades that they oppose the illegal settlements too.

The "nation" of israel just ignored them and still continues, but when an Arab says it, they want to imprison him.

They just like picking on Arabs.

And they seem to thoroughly enjoy it.

They have been successful in making it against the law to question the official record of the holocaust.

Now they want to make it illegal to question Israel's human rights record?

Claiming to have a stellar human rights record while denying people the fundamental human right to think and speak freely about human rights... now how's that for being a self-delusional self-absorbed hypocritical racist dictatorship masquerading as a shining example of democracy in the middle-east? Isn't it bad enough that they have taken their land, lively hood and all sense of dignity... that they now want to force them to not complain about it?

No wonder so many Palestinians are willing to send their kids in to the heart of Israel with bombs strapped to their chests.

I have had to put up with this thought crime rubbish alll my life since 1992. People think and say things all the same, but if they want to destroy you they just make it all up, and every body pretends they are not the same, lol.

The general public are pure stupid period. Thought crimes are stupid, and there is no such thing as pre crime.

Stupid yes... but only some can be pinned with such an esteemed label in title.

It's important to make distinctions in the herd; some are intellectually lazy, willfully ignorant, naively ignorant and aware but don't care.

As for the rest of us... they have a comprehensive plan in the works. Their reach in effort to silence critics knows no end. On October 16, 2004, Bush signed the Israel Lobby's bill, the Global Anti-Semitism Review Act... which requires the US Depart of State to monitor anti-semitism world wide... which includes any criticism of Israel or Zionists.

Once the Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009 is passed... it will be a crime for any American to tell the truth about Israel's treatment of Palestinians, theft of property and deceptions through the media and our government.

So, why does anyone pay any heed to this. First of all, groups of people say NO! this is not limited to "thought crimes, or pre-crimes or face-crimes", this is everything from codex, to internet changes, anything you hear of that strikes you as WRONG! So, you say NO. If they enact any statute, this is not a law. Real law, includes the right to not follow anything perceived as a crime. So, if after you've said no, and written to the politicians, they still put it in. Your next step is TO IGNORE IT AND CONTINUE LIFE AS NORMAL. Here the one I add, to gather in crowds and protect anyone they target, make it impossible, as you clog their legal system. If they don't back down, thousands turn up in court to say they're all guilty and consider it crime to obey a crime and perform a citizens arrest. Count yourselves and them. The numbers speak for themselvs. Why would millions allow 50 wolves to herd them off a cliff, in polite obedience? Count, and say NO! And stick up for each other when they target people. Then kick them out when elections come up by voting in one of your own, and quickly put in a party list proportional democracy and form many grass roots parties. Fold and call an election.

Good for evey country!

How to say NO and have it really count?

By voting NO? By saying NO to taxes? By saying NO in the streets?

Seems to me that we already have plenty of people doing this and it doesn't make a difference. So i'm thinking that our energy and time is best spent education those who say YES to such BS to say NO.

This really is essentially an infowar... knowledge against ignorance... truth against disinformation.
