Haaretz reports that Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman’s settlement in the occupied Jordan Valley is barring non-Jewish Russian Israelis from buying houses there:
The Nokdim secretariat ruled two weeks ago to bar non-Jewish Russian-Israelis from buying homes in the small Bethlehem-area settlement where Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman makes his home. The decision came after a frenzied debate between residents over whether the entry of individuals not considered Jewish by religious law would lead to "assimilation" or improper behavior on the part of veteran residents and their children.
The current fracas was sparked after a number of families of Russian origin applied to be accepted in the community. In each of the families, at least one member is not Jewish according to halakha, or religious law.
So let me see if I have this right:
Palestinians can’t move back to their homes in Israel.
Palestinians can’t drive on Israeli (Jewish) roads in the Occupied Territories.
Palestinians without the right cards can’t go into East Jerusalem.
Gazans are not being allowed to live in the West Bank.
Non-Jewish Israelis can’t move to certain parts of the West Bank.
I can move to Israel or East Jerusalem or the West Bank tomorrow, no problemo.
Wake up, liberal Americans.
