The new law limits immigration to Israel to Jews only, indirectly relegates the Israeli Arabs to second-class citizens, and allows discrimination against non-Jews in allocating resources for housing and segregated communities. It will serve as a recipe for the continuing conflict with the Palestinians at large while further diminishing the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.
Watch: Israel passes controversial “Jewish nation state” law
Furthermore, this law officially embraces revisionist Zionism that focuses exclusively on the right of the Jews to the land of Palestine with a Jewish state, and discards mainstream Israeli Jews who are appalled by the scenes of Palestinian oppression and gross human rights violation.
This new law will not only discriminate against non-Jews, but further deepen the divide between the liberally enlightened Jews who believe in equality and human rights for all citizens, and those who want to preserve the Jewish exclusiveness of the country. They ignore the fact that such division will be at the expense of destroying the Jews’ bond with one another, both among Israelis and between Israelis and their counterparts in the Jewish diaspora.
