Israel is not a democracy. The following laws the Knesset has created show modern day Israel is as fascist as nazi Germany.
With people like this and laws like that, Israel doesn't deserve a country. People this fucked should be in jail, not running governments or treated as though their somehow special to planet earth. They're as special to humanity as Charles Manson was to Sharon Tate.
We've come full circle. Israeli's treat arabs like the nazis treated the jews. Arabs in Israel are treated as second class citizens. Just like nazi Germany in the 30's, the Israeli's are practicing their own version of "ethnic cleansing". We need to go no further than this message board to see Israel's counterpart to Josef Goebbles, in the posts of JStone.Recently passed laws...
(1) the Law to Prevent Infiltration permits imprisoning refugees and asylum seekers. It deters entering Israel to keep it ethnically/religiously pure.
(2) the Preventing Harm to the State of Israel by Means of Boycott allows civil suits against anyone advocating boycotts of settlement products. It sanctions participating NGOs. It strips their tax exempt status.
(3) The Entry into Israel Law limits work permits given migrant workers residing in Israel. It binds them to one employer. Calling the practice illegal, Israel's High Court equated it to modern-day slavery.
(4) The Revoking Citizenship for Persons Convicted of Terrorism and Espionage lets courts strip it for persons convicted without evidence. Denying it eliminates other basic rights.
(5) the Nakba Law lets the Finance Minister reduce or prohibit funding any institution under the following conditions:
refusal to support Israel as a Jewish state;
racist, violent or terrorist incitement;
support for any nation, group or entity Israel calls an enemy or terrorist organization;
mourning Israel's Independence Day; and/or
committing vandalism or physical desecration dishonoring Israel's flag or symbols.
In other words, mourning Palestine's worst ever catastrophe's illegal.
(6) The Acceptance to Communities Law lets villages and communities deny individuals admittance for "fail(ing) to meet the fundamental views of the community," its social fabric, and other characteristics. In other words, for not being Jewish.
(7) the Funding from Foreign State Entities law requires foreign state NGO supporters submit quarterly financial reports. At issue is delegitimizing and curtailing legitimate activities, not legislating transparency. Human rights and other civil groups are targeted for supporting rights Israel opposes.
(8) The Extending Arrest of Persons Suspected of Security Offenses permits arresting suspects in security related cases for longer periods without judicial oversight. Extending arrests without their presence is also authorized.
(9) the Pardoning Protesters of Gaza Disengagement distinguishes between political and ideological activists. Instead of general principles, the political agenda of Israel's elected majority's promoted.
(10) the Abu Basma Bill on Regional Council Elections lets the Interior Minister postpone democratic regional council elections indefinitely.
In January, Israel's High Court rejected a challenge to Israel'sIsrael's Citizenship and Entry into Israel Law.
It denies citizenship rights to Palestinians with Israeli spouses. Enacted in 2003 as temporary legislation, it was extended twice after its initial expiration date.
The law lets the interior minister grant citizenship only if affected Palestinians identify strongly and cooperate with Israel. They must also contribute to national security. As a result, few qualify.
In addition, potential eligibility's limited to Palestinian husbands 36 or older and Palestinian wives at least 26.
A Qara village attorney called the decision a "declaration of war on Israeli Arabs." A mixed couple said the decision "will lead to the expulsion of thousands of families from the country."
Proposed bills include:
prohibiting the word Nazi and Third Reich symbols;.
authorizing libel without proof of damages;
restricting support from foreign state entities;
depriving human rights NGOs getting foreign state funding of their tax exempt status and taxes them at a punitively high rate;
permitting libel suits and criminal prosecutions of anyone slandering Israel and/or its official bodies;
extending preferential civil service treatment for persons with military service;
requiring foreigners seeking Israeli citizenship pledge allegiance to the State of Israel as a Jewish, democratic, Zionist state and serve a term of military or national service;
imprisoning persons publishing a call that denies the existence of Israel as a Jewish, democratic state;
establishing a tribunal for non-Jewish foreigners seeking legal status in Israel;
prohibiting organizations deemed harmful to Israel from operating;
requiring anyone receiving an ID card, passport, driver's license, or other official document declare loyalty to Israel as a Jewish, democratic state;
declaring Israel "the national home of the Jewish people," no longer permitting Arabic as an official language;
prohibiting entry into Israel of anyone involved in boycotts, suing the government or military, or denying the holocaust; and
requiring civil servants and council members swear loyalty to Israel as a Jewish, democratic state, among other proposed measures
With people like this and laws like that, Israel doesn't deserve a country. People this fucked should be in jail, not running governments or treated as though their somehow special to planet earth. They're as special to humanity as Charles Manson was to Sharon Tate.
