Antifar 07/19/18 2:04:58 PM #1:	https://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-5312792,00.html Israel passed the nationality bill into law on Thursday to declare that only Jews have the right of self-determination in the country, something which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hailed as the realization of Zionism's vision but which has stoked anger among critics who argue it is racist. "One-hundred-and-twenty-two years after Herzl published his vision, we've enshrined into the law the basic principle of our existence," Netanyahu said. about the law, which was backed by the right-wing government in a stormy Knesset debate by a vote of 62-55. Knesset members Benny Begin (Likud) and Orly Levy-Abekasis abstained in the 120-member Knesset after months of political argument, while Arab lawmakers, who say the law is racist and verges on a codification of apratheid, shouted and ripped up papers after the vote, prompting Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein to remove the Arab MKs from the plenum. "This is a defining moment in the annals of Zionism and the history of the state of Israel," Netanyahu told the Knesset after the vote. Israel, Netanyahu said during the pandemonium that erupted in the Knesset Plenum, is the only country in the Middle East that honors equal rights. "Israel is the nation state of the Jewish people that honors the rights of all its citizens ... When I make speeches around the world, I reiterate this is our country, the country of the Jewish nation," he stated, explaining the reasons for the law. "Over the past few years some attempt to question that and by doing so they question the foundations of our existence. This is the reason why we enshrined into a law this is our anthem, our language and our flag. Long live the State of Israel," he declared from the podium. Largely symbolic, the law was enacted just after the 70th anniversary of the birth of the state of Israel. It stipulates that "Israel is the historic homeland of the Jewish people and they have an exclusive right to national self-determination in it". The bill also strips Arabic of its designation as an official language alongside Hebrew, downgrading it to a "special status" that enables its continued use within Israeli institutions. Israel's Arabs number some 1.8 million, about 20 percent of the 9 million population. Early drafts of the legislation went further in what critics at home and abroad saw as discrimination towards Israel's Arabs. Clauses that were dropped in last-minute political wranglingand after objections by Israel's president and attorney generalwould have enshrined in law the establishment of Jewish-only communities, and instructed courts to rule according to Jewish ritual law when there were no relevant legal precedents. Instead, a more vaguely-worded version was approved, which says: "The state views the development of Jewish settlement as a national value and will act to encourage and promote its establishment." ... MK Avi Dichter (Likud), who also sponsored the bill, explained his reasons passing the law. 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 citizen," he said. "When I listened attentively to the Joint List MKs, it was impossible to miss their clear words: 'We, the Arabs will win, we are in our homeland, we were here before you and we'll be here after you.' This Basic Law is the clear-cut answer to those who think that and it is clear: You were not here before us and you will not be here after us, he responded. "The most you can do is to live among us as a national minority that enjoys equal individual rights, but not equality as a national minority, Dichter added. --- kin to all that throbs <cite>Antifar posted [p:905361113] in Israel pas...

Why have Jewish people historically been picked on? success mainly. also jews could lend money in roman catholic times and that caused problems. This, basically. For most of the Jewish people's history they have been under the rule of one Empire after another. In some cases that meant they had fewer rights, while in other cases it meant they literally couldn't own land. The result is, to survive they learned the value of dealing in currency and chose to charge interest at a time when other religions were explicitly barring it. This is both where the Jewish Banker meme, as well as a lot of animosity comes from. People have used their charging interest as justification for a lot of things, cuz they saw it as exploitive. Jews are also historically one of the earliest people to actively encouraged literacy. For many nations, teaching the common people to read was seen like a recipe for disaster, but since the Jews never had a nations, they didn't have to worry about the common people rising up against them. This, combined with the banking, resulted in a small group of Highly Educated people who were good with finances build to survive when one Empire would inevitably be replaced by another. They have also been pretty famously difficult to convert, so for many empires trying to force everyone under one religion they were seen like a general problem group. Of course, since they didn't actively try to convert anybody else, they also never really had good justification to punish them for it. So they tended to make stuff up. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
