The amazing Assad Abdi with trhe right clip from an analysis of the Jewish State bill: One of the best written articles about the new Jewish nation-state by Aeyal Gross Haaretz few days ago.Summary below: Netanyahu’s ‘nation-state’ bill undermines the notion that Israel’s Arab population is entitled to collective rights, not just individual ones. The principles of liberty, justice and peace expressed by the prophets of Israel remain, but complete social and political equality, which, it should be noted, never came to fruition, has been replaced by personal rights of all citizens “according to any law.” The wording is vague, limiting personal rights to “according to any law,” and renders the clause effectively useless when the “law” itself is discriminatory. Moreover, personal rights don’t include collective rights, like the right to language and culture.
