Israel plans 'Jewish' loyalty oath

[JBeukema]

Totally not like anything ever done anywhere else...

Right-wing politicians have welcomed plans to introduce an oath of loyalty to Israel as a "Jewish" state for anyone wanting to become a citizen, a move likely to further jeopardize direct peace talks with the Palestinians.
The controversial move would amend the current citizenship law to include the phrase: "I swear to respect the laws of the state of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state," Binyamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, said on Wednesday.

I'm curious. Might that particular unconstitutional phrase have been added around the same time as the unconstitutional (read:illegal) change to our money?

Or did they get around the Constitution by not having Congress involved in the change?

Not surprising, given our war against Islam.

"So help me God" is optional. "On oath" will can also be replaced with "and solemnly affirm."

I believe that allowances will also be made for the "bear arms" and "noncombatant service" aspects of the oath for those who can prove such commitments are in violation with his or her religion.
