NAZARETH, (PIC)-- Likud MK Carmel Shama has proposed the transfer of the biggest possible number of Palestinians in 1948 occupied Palestine into the Palestinian state in the event of its establishment.
Shama, addressing a seminar on Saturday, said that fanatic nationalism was growing in the midst of Arab population, adding that it was only a matter of time when the situation there explodes.
The Likud MK specifically mentioned the population of Um Al-Faham in north of occupied Palestine 1948.
For his part, Arab MK Talab Al-Sane called for a "criminal investigation" against Shama for suspicion of inciting racism. He added that Palestinians in the Triangle area would stay put while the fascists and racists would go to the "dustbin of history".
In a similar note, Israel Beitenu MK Lia Shemtov was planning to table a new law with Knesset (Israeli parliament) making it imperative on any Arab to swear allegiance to Israel as a "democratic and Jewish state" as a prerequisite for his work or else he would be sacked from his job.
Shemtov told the Israeli radio that another law would be tabled binding members of local councils to take a similar oath.
She stressed that leader of her party Avigdor Lieberman, current foreign minister of Israel, strongly supports her draft laws.

A large number of Israeli troops stormed and cordoned off the neighborhood to prevent other Palestinians from joining the protest.
The protesters condemned the decision taken by the higher Israeli court which allowed settlers to seize Palestinian homes in occupied Jerusalem, including the homes of three families last year and the intention to expel 25 other families from their homes.
The Israeli courts declined several lawsuits filed by the residents of the neighborhood against plans to expel them from their homes and give them to Jewish settlers, although they submitted documents proving their ownership of the homes.
In a separate incident, dozens of Palestinians suffered suffocation when Israeli troops fired volleys of tear gas grenades at the weekly protest organized in the village of Iraq Burin, near Nablus city, against settlement expansion and land annexation.
Local sources said that Israel soldiers ambushed Palestinian young men and chased them which triggered clashes between the two sides.
In Ariha (Jericho) city, a number of extremist Jewish settlers stormed last night the city under military protection and sneaked into a deserted synagogue called Naaran.
Local sources said that the settlers chanted racial slurs against Arabs and loudly called for rebuilding the synagogue and strengthening the Jewish presence in the city.
