Increase serverity of punishment for terrorists stripped of Israeli citizenship by forcing them to recite anthem

The revocation of the Israeli citizenship of terrorists ( who refused an ultimatum to recognise Israel and renounce terrorism) should be supplemented by an even harsher punishment to emphasize that Israel means business.

The Hamas leaders who are ex citizens of the Jewish state should to recite the national anthem called "The Hope" to make their defeat complete.

The Hope

As long as the Jewish spirit is yearning deep in the heart,

With eyes turned toward the East, looking toward Zion,

Then our hope - the two-thousand-year-old hope - will not be lost:

To be a free people in our land,

The land of Zion and Jerusalem
