Now it's a basic law: The State of Israel is the national home of the Jewish people

[Shusha]

What law forbids Jews from living in Arab settlements?

Still looking....found this:

However, that same Supreme Court in the Avitan case (HCJ 528/88) decided that there was a public interest in assisting Beduin to settle permanently in urban communities, thus justifying a policy of preferential treatment to Arabs, allowing Arab-only towns.

Still, there is nothing "controversial" in the Basic Law that just passed. At least its not at all controversial in other countries. Only in the Jewish State. Makes you go "hmmmmmm", doesn't it?

And current law in Israel permits Arabs to have Arab-only settlements while forbidding Jews to do the same.

Formally it's incorrect, but practically it's the case.

What is disturbing about it? Before you answer, have you read the declarations of independence and constitutions of other States? Which ones? Because there is nothing disturbing in this law. It's as typical as dozens of other States.

Because Arab was the language there for centuries. It seems it is aime at furthet marginslizing the Arab population. Canada has two, foe example. I think an Arab Israeli citizen would have a hard time feeling a fully equal citizen. The part about Jewish settlements....can Arab Israeli's live in them or expand their own with equak access to land and rezources under this? What is really disturbing are the portions that wete eventually rejected.

There are dozens of nations which have one official language and minority populations. Spain, for example, requires all citizens to speak Castilian even if their mother tongue is Catalan or Basque.

And current law in Israel permits Arabs to have Arab-only settlements while forbidding Jews to do the same. Much like Jews are not permitted to worship, pray or equally access the Temple Mount.

It is hypocrisy to demand something of Israel that is not demanded of other nations. Have you read the constitutions of other nations? For that matter have you read the Palestinian one?

What law forbids Jews from living in Arab settlements?

Tell us that Jews who choose to live in Arab Settlements wouldn’t have to fear for their lives.

I suspect Arabs in Jewish settlements might have the same concerns. But tbat is neither hete nor thete.

The difference is; Arabs do live in Israel

Somehow a "no Jews allowed" policy in Palestine and Gaza isn't the slightest bit controversial.

A Supreme Court decision labels it as permissible as affirmative action for the Bedouin. It is an older decision from what I can determine, so maybe its changed again.

The Supreme Court decision, which you posted, was based rather on "a public interest" than on the law.

Ah. I understand now what you are saying. Its a setting aside of the law in the interests of assisting the Bedouin community. We agree, then.

Yes. And it's a big problem in Israel. There is no discriminatory laws, but there is a discriminatory court practice, based on domination of the left in the legal system. If they were not the Bedouins, but the Jews, the court would most likely have taken a different decision.

In addition the Palestinians state that the Israelis have no right to the Western Wall. Somehow that isn’t racist

The court did. In another decision. There is a strange irony in the fact that Israeli courts try just SO HARD to be "fair" that they discriminate mostly against Jews, and yet still they are vilified for being an "apartheid state".

Oh no. Not at all. Even supported by the UN so it must be "right". /sarcasm

Jews and their country are vilified by definition, not for their actions...

The controversial law states only Jewish people have the right to self-determination in the State of Israel, denying the right to 1.8 million Palestians who hold Israeli citizenship.

Israel’s Parliament, the Knesset, approved the controversial nationality bill Thursday declaring Israel a nation-state for the Jewish people and downgrading the status of Arabic from official language to “special status.” Arabs make up 21 percent of Israel’s population.


The basic law, approved with 62 votes in favor and 55 against, recognizes the Jewish people in Israel “have an exclusive right to national self-determination." It also includes the declaration of a “united Jerusalem” as the capital of Israel, despite the fact that East Jerusalem is internationally recognized as being under Israeli occupation.

Furthermore, the law affirms "the state sees the development of Jewish settlement as a national value and will act to encourage and promote its establishment and consolidation."

"One-hundred-and-twenty-two years after Herzl (father of Zionism) published his vision, we've enshrined into the law the basic principle of our existence," prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, prising the law.

Legislator Avi Dichter of the ruling Likud party, who also sponsored the bill, explained “we are enshrining this important bill into a law today to prevent even the slightest thought, let alone attempt, to transform Israel to a country of all its citizens."


Zionist Union leader Tzipi Livni argued the bill sought to strengthen Netanyahu. “Netanyahu wants the bill in order to fight. Otherwise how will people know he is more of a nationalist than you’” she said.

Arab lawmakers protested the bill’s approval arguing it is a codification of apartheid and ripping papers in a symbolic gesture, which prompted Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein to remove them from the plenum.

Legislators Ahmad Tibi and Ayeda Touma-Souliman yelled at Netanyahu: "You passed an apartheid law, a racist law."

"I announce with shock and sorrow the death of democracy," Ahmed Tibi told reporters.

Lawmaker Ayman Odeh, chairman of the Joint List, released a statement saying that Israel "passed a law of Jewish supremacy and told us that we will always be second-class citizens." Around 1.8 million Arabs live in Israel, they are the descendents of the Palestinians who remained in what is today Israel after the 1948 “War of Independence.”

Jewish Israeli peace activists also protested the bill by unfurling a large black flag in the Knesset.

Jews have the right to self-determination to Israel.
They are not asking the right to self-determination to any other part of their ancient homeland, now taken over by Arab Muslims in Jordan and in Gaza.

Arabs have self-determination in Jordan.
And Arabs have self-determination in Gaza.

NOT ONE JEW is allowed to live in Jordan or Gaza, while 20% of the population of Israel in non-Jewish.

Distort what the law is all about all you like, you and others do not have the guts to deal with the real Apartheid which exists in Muslim countries against Jews, where you will hardly find any Jew being allowed to live in them.


Israel is the Jewish State, always has been, and always will be.

So what’s your problem? Abbas has made it clear; No Israelis Allowed. They have even gone so far as to state that the Israelis have no rights to the Western Wall. See anything wrong with that? Of course not
The Jewish Holy Sites are in E. Jerusalem and the Jewish people will never be deprived of their access again

American citizens and their government go on and on about the separation of church and state, and make countless laws to enforce it.

Yet we finance and support the apartheid state of Israel with billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars and weapons to maintain their zionist Jew enclave. ....

Do not forget, and be very proud, that you, the US, are also supporting the Apartheid States of Saudi Arabia, the enclave known as Gaza, and the Apartheid wannabe State known as "State of Palestine" amongst many other Apartheid enclaves.

Withdraw from Israel, withdraw from all.
