Bahrain Mirror: Bahrain's Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemned the adoption by the Israeli Knesset of the so-called Jewish Nation-state Bill.

The ministry said that this bill ignores the historical rights of the Palestinian people and constitutes a violation of international law and international norms and charters.

For his part, the prominent Bahraini dissident Ibrahim Sharif said that this condemnation is of no value, saying "what is the benefit of condemnation if not followed by action?"

"If the government is serious in its condemnation, it has to cut all its communications with the Zionist Entity; direct and indirect communications as well as the sport, cultural, tourist, diplomatic and other kinds of communications. It has also to activate the boycotting office," he went on to say.

Sharif further stated "We don't want Zionist tourists dancing in Bab Al-Bahrain," in a reference to the dancing of the Israeli delegation in Manama last year.
