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

[Shusha]

If you wanted to pick one or two of these laws to go into more depth in, I'd be willing.

It's ok thanks...

I would hate to waste my time cherry picking any one of 50 laws for you to deny the facts.

Dude. Keep up. There are 65 now. Sheesh.

 

[Shusha]

The first is a discussion of the differences in treatment of an Israeli citizen and a foreign national. Irrelevant to the topic.

The second is a bill seeking to undermine the protection of the Jewish character of the State. That is not "equality". That is erasure.

Edited to add: though I would love to see the text of that Bill

If Israel can’t be both Jewish and Democratic then “ Palestine “ can’t be both Palestinian and Democratic

And Latvia can't be Latvian and democratic. And Slovenia can't be Slovene and democratic. And Spain can't be Spanish and democratic.

That is funny....

Does Latvia, Slovenia, Spain put their religions before democracy?

Does Israel?

Are you trying to say that Israel doesn't?!?!?!?!

Surely there has been more than enough shown in this thread to confirm that?!?!

Further... Did Latvia, Slovenia, Spain feel the need to declare themselves a 'Christian state'?

They proclaim their ethnic national roots. Same as Israel.

 

[Shusha]

Why do the Jewish people need to have some sort of special permission to have a State?!

Has anyone actually said that?

So we can give up the whole "Jews can have a homeland but it was never meant to be an actual State" argument then, right?!

Well that was a nice dodge Shusha!

Preserving heritage

A. Every citizen of Israel, regardless of their religion or nationality, has the right to actively preserve their culture, heritage, language and identity.​

Interesting - I agree, that should have remained.

Perhaps things become clearer if you look at the complete section, as conceived earlier:

9 — Preserving heritage

A. Every citizen of Israel, regardless of their religion or nationality, has the right to actively preserve their culture, heritage, language and identity.

B. The State may allow a community, including followers of a single religion or members of a single nationality, to establish a separate communal settlement.​

For, taken together, this section may have been interpreted as permission vigilante-style to cleanse neighborhoods of culturally suspect or detrimental elements ("actively preserve"). Not least, it would have handed even more power to those ethnic groups you upstream identified as the major problem in Israel.

Oh here we go again...

You are highly skilled at making one comment, receiving a reply, then moving the goal posts and avoiding the original comment... Highly skilled Shusha! Congratulations!

You're just a troll.

You've not posted one constructive element, as yet.

Says the fool who has made NO contribution to this thread and posts a troll comment!

Idiot!

Why are you debating Israel?

Why does it even need to be debated?

 

[P F Tinmore]

Why do the Jewish people need to have some sort of special permission to have a State?!

Why do the Palestinians need permission to have a state inside their own borders. Whose borders is Israel inside?

The equality of all citizens of Israel is firmly entrenched in law.

So why doesn't it then?

Treat all citizens equally? It does.

Clearly it doesn't! Just two examples...

Opinion | Not All Israeli Citizens Are Equal

Knesset disqualifies bill seeking equal status for Jews and Arabs

The first is a discussion of the differences in treatment of an Israeli citizen and a foreign national. Irrelevant to the topic.

The second is a bill seeking to undermine the protection of the Jewish character of the State. That is not "equality". That is erasure.

Apples and oranges. Palestine has always been multi religious.

You should be at 3rd grade class by now!

There is much more to the issuance of the "British Whited Paper of 1939" than meets the eye.

Indeed, Britain tried to smooth over what they fucked up. Good job, Palestine is still fucked up.

Apples and Oranges. So has Israel. If Israel can’t be both primarily Jewish and Democratic then Palestine can’t be both primarily Palestinian and Democratic

 

[P F Tinmore]

The establishment of an independent Jewish State gradually became more appealing.

Of course none of those assholes gave any consideration to the Palestinians. It was all grab, grab, grab.

Palestine does not categorize people into different rights.

 

[fncceo]

Of course none of those assholes gave any consideration to the Palestinians.

Before the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, Jews were Palestinians.

So, were Palestinian Arabs, and Palestinian Xtians, Palestinian Buddhists, and Palestinian Druids. If they lived in the British Mandate of Palestine, they were Palestinians.

The idea that Palestinian Arabs are an ethnicity unto themselves isn't historical.

They are more so than the Jews...Jews today are MAJORITY OTHER ETHNIC PEOPLES WHO MERELY CONVERTED TO JUDAISM...THEY ARE NOT,REPEAT NOT A SEMITIC PEOPLES AT ALL AND NEVER CAN BE...THE ONLY SEMITIC PEOPLE ARE THE PALESTINIANS AND JUST A FEW SHEPARDIC JEWS WHO THE ZIONIST TERRORISTS ARE SLOWLY ELIMINATING....this is the facts of the matter

 

[theliq]

Like the official implementation of apartheid to ensure Boer values were preserved.

Unlike the Dutch people, Jews originated in the land of Israel.
Do You see any reference to skin color?

Jews originated in Mesopetainia...Fool
