Apartheid in action. Ahmed Tibi, a member of Knesset, states, "Israel is democratic for Jews, but Jewish for Arabs." Haaretz:
The Knesset Law and Constitution Committee conducted a heated debate Tuesday on two parallel law proposals that would enable certain communities in Israel to handpick their residents… [ the committees would be able to prevent Arab landowners from building on community land.]
MK Ahmed Tibi condemned the bills, which passed a preliminary vote a few weeks ago, claiming they would only allow systemic racism to take hold.
"This law is like pissing in mid-air," said Tibi. "Racism is starting to be legislated in the statute book. There is an influx of racist law proposals; you aren’t even ashamed of yourselves."
Zionism isn’t racism, huh. No apartheid here, huh?
Segregation established by law.
Well; if Tibi doesn’t like these laws he has 21 Arab countries to emigrate to, doesn’t he?
Regardless of the legislation, the Arabrein policy is already being enforced. See here for a recent outrageous case.
When Israel has long practiced illegal activity it than settles down to adopt a “law.” The law is the last stage of corruption, when the practice has been going on sometimes for decades. It is similar to the “torture” laws adopted by the USA, it is the last stage of corruption to finally try to codify the practice.
