Text of the "Basic Law: Israel as the Nation-State of the Jewish People"




Here is the text of the controversial "Jewish nation-state" law that passed last night.

I do not see anything problematic, although the wording about Arabic seems strained. Even so, the status of Arabic is above that of English.

There is nothing here that contradicts other laws (and international conventions that Israel has signed) that ensure no discrimination against non-Jewish citizens of the state.

It probably goes both ways, but anyway let's get into to details of this bill. So besides the obvious of classifying Israel/Palestine as an homeland for Jewish people, it means the government will continue to work to build settlements in West Bank only for Jewish people and not rest of non-Jewish citizens or non-citizens living under its control. It also means Jews can build anywhere in occupied Palestinian territories and be granted permits while Palestinians living on their land can't build and will be rejected permits.

There's much more to it, but it's clearly appalling behavior for a state government that claims to model Western democracy.

Chinese Jews. NOT ethnic Jews.


 
. . .
That's different, Jews are an ethnic group, Muslims are not. Islamic republic just means it is a state ruled by Islam or Islamic law, can change any time. Other hand this bill declares Israel a Jewish nation state forever, while also declaring all of Jerusalem as Israel's capital. Even though whole world disagrees about that and doesn't recognize that.

It's like Europeans forming a modern empire and declaring the Empire is a white European one strictly. Or a homeland for white Europeans. Would be considered racist/facist if Europeans did that, but Israeli's it's okay apparently ....



This isn't about religion, about ethnicity.
Read the post,I quoted he was talking about religion
 
.
No they ain't. Modern Jews are mostly Russians. I know because I have a classmate from Russia blue eyes blond hair white skin and he's a Jew and there weren't Jews like that before Diaspora. Modern Jews are genetically whites.
:rofl:

Apartheid state

And the more the arab population grows and the more land they covet the more apartheid they Will become

I recently have developed this condition that i think the Semite race is the reason for all of the world's problems and miseries, And for the rest of the world to finally have peace, The Semite race should be wiped off the face of the earth with every trace of it.
I really need help, @Solomon2 do you have any suggestions on what should i do to become better?
 
.
Self-destructing more and more by each year with such childish, counterproductive and divisive decisions.

I can't imagine that most Israelis (sane ones) are content about such changes and in general the direction that their country is going. I predict a backlash (political) not too far in the future.




I recently have developed this condition that i think the Iranian race is the reason for all of the world's problems and miseries, And for the rest of the world to finally have peace, The Iranian race should be wiped off the face of the earth with every trace of it.

Good boy. Wiping out the race that gave rise to the oldest civilizations in the world, invented science, mathematics, alphabet, writing, wheel and almost everything that the modern human enjoys the fruits of in later (modern-day) versions and additions, would be extremely silly and counterproductive. I suggest wiping out the Iranian race instead while we are at it. Won't be missed as much and world history would largely have remained the same too.

Idiotic and harmful law. Though it does not change anything on practical level (and good so), it only gives negative reputation and reduces Arab citizen identification with Israel. Sad.

altough i dont think this law is needed . it doesnt change anything.
and yes we are still one of the best countries in the region.

Some say Hitler throw those 8 grilion Semites in ovens and let some of them to live, Only for the people to understand why he throw those 8 grilion Semites in ovens.

Apparently those were 2 million and secondly those were not Semites but fellow Europeans. The same lot that killed almost 100 million of each other during WW1 and WW2.

Those same "Semites" also cluster genetically more closer to those Europeans than anyone else in the world that is not a European. Geographically as well.

In fact the Semitic race is merely the Caucasian race. The original White/Caucasian race originated in the Arab world.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasian_race

Even racist Europeans 100 years ago understood that Arabs were Caucasian. A Mediterranean branch.

Physical appearance

The Arabid race is distinguished from the West-Mediterranean race by some minor characteristic facial traits. The Arabid physical type had in earlier times a broader-formed Syrid subtype, which was found among the farmers of the Fertile Crescent.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabid_race

Read this article published by the world famous Science Magazine, my conquered Gypsy, who would have no culture without those same Semites that his ancestors copied almost everything from.

When it comes to skin color, the team found a patchwork of evolution in different places, and three separate genes that produce light skin, telling a complex story for how European’s skin evolved to be much lighter during the past 8000 years. The modern humans who came out of Africa to originally settle Europe about 40,000 years are presumed to have had dark skin, which is advantageous in sunny latitudes. And the new data confirm that about 8500 years ago, early hunter-gatherers in Spain, Luxembourg, and Hungary also had darker skin: They lacked versions of two genes—SLC24A5 and SLC45A2—that lead to depigmentation and, therefore, pale skin in Europeans today.

But in the far north—where low light levels would favor pale skin—the team found a different picture in hunter-gatherers: Seven people from the 7700-year-old Motala archaeological site in southern Sweden had both light skin gene variants, SLC24A5 and SLC45A2. They also had a third gene, HERC2/OCA2, which causes blue eyes and may also contribute to light skin and blond hair. Thus ancient hunter-gatherers of the far north were already pale and blue-eyed, but those of central and southern Europe had darker skin.

Then, the first farmers from the Near East arrived in Europe; they carried both genes for light skin. As they interbred with the indigenous hunter-gatherers, one of their light-skin genes swept through Europe, so that central and southern Europeans also began to have lighter skin. The other gene variant, SLC45A2, was at low levels until about 5800 years ago when it swept up to high frequency.​
