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

You mean unlike the Democratic Countries of the Arab World?

I get the impression you're agreeing Israel behaves like Arabs. True?

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.

The right in Israel are very much like the right in the US. They create situations where they know they can benefit from them. Like war, they'll get their war, and then use war as an excuse for taking away rights in order to protect people. They need the war to continue so they can continue to fob the people off on their bullshit of protecting them, while causing the problems in the first place.

I get the impression you are a Pro Palestinian Kool Aid Drinker. Arabs reside in Israel unlike Jews residing in most Muslim/ Arab Countries. The PA even declared the Israelis have no rights to the Western Wall . Typical Racist Double Standard

Mohammed Kabiya, one of the speakers at the ACCESS event, addressed one of the Irvine protesters in a hijab in Arabic, resulting in this exchange:

“You’re a Jewish Muslim?”

“No, I’m no Jewish Muslim. I’m an Arab Israeli Muslim.”

Elkhoury told the ACCESS crowd, “We are sure of our message.”

He said those who resort to vitriol, such as the Irvine protesters, are not as secure in their beliefs and thus resort to anger and insults.

“We know our facts. We know what is going on on the ground,” Elkhoury said. “And we came there to have this dialogue. And they just weren’t able to listen or able to have this dialogue and conversation.”

The video set the tone for the presentation. The reservists came to express their fervent support for their home, not to delve into the nuances of Israeli society.

You have a lot to say about Israel who does have Arabs but when it pertains to the Arab World with their bigotry and intolerance towards the Jewish people and many of those Countries don’t have any Jewish residents there is no response. Typical
Pro Palestinian Mentality of an.

See?! You don't even KNOW what is in the constitutions of other countries. And yet you demonize Israel for this Basic Law. THAT is exactly the sort of ignorance that fuels unreasonable hatred.

Yes, certainly Arab countries, including Palestine. Did you recall any UPROAR about Palestine's Basic Law ratified in 2002? No? Why not? It is near identical to the Israeli one, including the claim to Jerusalem, Arabic as its only official language, Islam as its official religion, and loyalty to the Arab Nation. And we won't even have to mention the Hamas Charter, do we?

But also countries like Ireland, Spain, Latvia, Slovakia, Greece, Poland. There are dozens more. Easier, perhaps, to name the countries which don't have a national heritage and culture embedded in their constitution.

 

[Shusha]

For those who continue to demonize Israel for its new Basic Law, here is Palestine's Basic Law:

Palestine is part of the large Arab World, and the Palestinian People are part of the Arab Nation. Arab Unity is an objective which the Palestinian People shall work to achieve.

Jerusalem is the Capital of Palestine.

1. Islam is the official religion in Palestine. Respect and sanctity of all other heavenly religions shall be maintained. 2. The principles of Islamic Shari’a shall be the main source of legislation. 3. Arabic shall be the official language.


Where's the uproar about the treatment of the indigenous Jewish people in Palestine? Oh WAIT, there are NO JEWS in Palestine. They were all ethnically cleansed.
