Parliamentary committee wants deportation of neo-Nazis from Israel

A Knesset committee is seeking legal backing to deport Russian-speaking neo-Nazis living in Israel. The Immigration and Absorption Committee met on Tuesday to address the issue of neo-Nazi activity among small groups of non-Jewish immigrants, the "Jerusalem Post" reports. Israeli police are looking into two such immigrants who were allegedly conducting neo-Nazi rituals while serving in the Israeli army. One witness told the committee that such activity, which one legislator called “isolated and marginal”, was not limited to young people, and that some adults in Israel run neo-Nazi websites, according to the newspaper.
