Nazi oath: I swear: I will be faithful and obedient to the leader of the German[Israeli] state and people, Adolf Hitler, to observe the law, and to conscientiously fulfil my official duties, so help me God!
Israeli Arab MK Ahmed Tibi:"Israel has proven that it is not equal and is a democracy for Jews and not for Arabs,"
"The government of Israel has become subservient to Yisrael Beiteinu and its fascist doctrine," said Tibi. "No other state in the world would force its citizens or those seeking citizenship to pledge allegiance to an [religious]ideology."

Controversial loyalty oath passes by majority despite divisions in cabinet; amendment was promised by Netanyahu to Yisrael Beiteinu in coalition agreements.

"Israel has proven that it is not equal and is a democracy for Jews and not for Arabs," he added.
Herzog told Haaretz late Saturday that the resounding support for such an amendment showed that "fascism was devouring the margins of society."
