Gardener, et al,
Yeah, the idea of "apartheid" is a domestic issue, not an international issue.
My understanding is that, inside Israel, there is no difference in the law between the citizens (Jewish or Arab). In fact, neither Jewish or Arab is a race; which is a key element of the law. An Arab can be Jewish, or Jews can be Arab.
.
- The Jewish are an ethno-religious group of sorts.
- An Israeli is a nationality (can be Arab or other).
- To be Arab is a culture, all speakers of Arabic
The crime of "apartheid" means acts committed by one racial group over any other racial group. There is no racial laws in Israel. No society is without internal friction between different cultures, but that is not "apartheid."
First: This is an immigration matter. The crime of "apartheid" does not impact national immigration laws. Any nation has the right to control its borders.
Second: What is being said here is that there is no automatic citizenship passed on through marriage. So what. This translates to:
I'm not a specialist in immigration law, but I am given to understand that there is such a thing as an "Israeli spousal visa or partner visa, given to the spouse, civil partner or de facto partner of a resident or Israeli citizen." I would contact Consular Services.
- A non-citizen cannot (does not have the right to) move to israel if (just because) they marry an israeli (citizen).
SPECIAL NOTE: (NATIONALITY LAW, 5712-1952* PART ONE: ACQUISITION OF NATIONALITY - Para 7) The spouse of a person who is an Israel national or who has applied for Israel nationality and meets or is exempt from the Requirements of Section 5 (a) may obtain Israel nationality by naturalisation even if she or he is a minor or does not meet the requirements of section (5) (a).
I am also given to understand that:
This claim, appears to apply to the ground called (layman's terms) "the Occupied Territories." While there are cases in which the Palestinian may have a legitimate grievance with the Occupation Power, on matters of acquisition land management, this is not the same as "apartheid."
(COMMENT)israel steals palestinian land to build isaeli schools, roads, walls, fences, but does niothing for the palestuinians.
this is aparhtied.
This is not "apartheid." This is not something undertaken to separate one racial group of Israeli Citizens from another racial group of Israeli Citizens.
First, There is no "racial" component here at all.
Second: The building of infrastructure is not the responsibility of the Occupation Force. That is the responsibility of the Palestinian people.
(DISCLAIMER)
Again, I am not an expert (in any way, shape or form) on Israeli Immigration. But, the Israel MFA has experts at every Consular Station. That would be my first stop.
Most Respectfully,
R
iszrael diiscrimiates and mistreats people udner their control.
they have one law for palestinians in nthe west bank and another law for israelis in the west bank.
they havde laws meant to help jews and hurt arabs.
this is apatheid based on natinality and religion.
