If you have, you'd know how evil it is to break up families. I'm normally a supporter of Israel, but this law is not morally defensible, and it is all the more disappointing coming from a country I love. Have you ever been married, Carlsbad?

The sheer incoherence of the rest of your comment precludes a serious answer from me, so I'll abstain.

Say, why aren't native Jews in the area called "Arabs" anyway? Why were they persecuted in every Arab country, even before Israel was founded? Why don't you lament Saudi Arabia's fascistic treatment of all other religions?
