This guy just walked into the capitol of the United States and criticized the American people for exercising their first amendment right. The audacity.

You’re aware that over 20% of Israel’s population is Arab, right?
“First, they came for the Palestinians, but I did not speak out, for I am not Palestinian…”
Yes, I’m aware there is an Arab, Muslim minority in Israel. They are the non Jews I was referring to.
Yes and members of the Knesset have proposed stripping them all of citizenship and deporting them. There’s many Jim Crow style laws on the books that discriminate against them, so using them as a prop to show Israel being moral somehow is stupid.
Do you have a source for that? I’m not aware of it and don’t want to be unknowingly defending them if that’s the case.
Basic law:
Yes, that one I was aware of. The rest of the law is sensible enough — not much different than what we see in Quebec, for example — but that clause is unacceptable.

Note that simply receiving aid is grounds for revoking citizenship in the second link, and in the first, the definition of “terror” is almost as vague as “afraid for my life” defenses in police shootings in the US.
Thanks for this, I wasn’t aware of that law. It definitely isn’t acceptable to have laws based on the ethnicity of a particular subset of the population. Yet another reason why I hope to see Likud leadership at the Hague one day.
