    Law banning BDS supporters from entering Israel

    Tldr; If you don’t toe the settler-colonialist line, you not only get refused entry, but even as a citizen, you’ll get stripped of citizenship, rendered stateless and deported. Sounds a lot like legal discrimination.

    In March 2017, parliament voted to ban any Palestinians or foreign nationals if they, or the organisations they belong to, publicly endorse the boycott of Israel or its illegal settlements.

    The law, with its vague wording, also has implications for Palestinian residents of East Jerusalem whose partners live with them on Israeli military-issued permits or a temporary residence status.

    Expansion of the Admissions Committees Law

    Tldr; Ethnic cleansing towns and villages, Building colonies on top to erase the evidence Then legally segregating the colonies to prevent refugees from ever returning.

    On Tuesday, the Knesset expanded a 2010 law that allows communities to screen and reject applicants deemed “unsuitable to the[ir] social and cultural makeup”. This, observers have said, essentially maked it easier for towns to prevent Palestinian citizens of Israel from moving to Jewish-majority towns. Many of these towns were built on or near Palestinian towns and villages that were depopulated before or during the 1948 Nakba, after their inhabitants were expelled or fled.

    Israel as the Nation-State of the Jewish People

    Tldr; Jews have supremacy. Everyone else is legally less-than. That’s legalized racism. Plain and simple. Democracy? Not a chance.

    In July 2018, the Knesset voted to pass a law that defines Israel as “the national home of the Jewish people”, with Hebrew as its official language and Jerusalem – including the illegally occupied eastern side – as its capital.

    The bill denies Palestinians any national rights and further entrenched racial discrimination against them by declaring that “the right to exercise national self-determination in the State of Israel is unique to the Jewish people”.

    Regardless of your opinion on the topic, don’t ever use Al Jazeera as a source of information. It’s shit.

      Thank you for your opinion. However, with Al Jazeera’s many journalistic awards, they’re a reliable source of information. Just because they don’t fit a particular narrative doesn’t make them ‘shit’, as you say.
