Hm. I wonder if actually reading the law would mean something. It's either that
or believe a media source that just loves to demonize israel (as Haaretz, a
very left leaning paper is known to do). But lets ignore them and look at the
law.
1. It applies to all, not just Israel Arabs. Jews, Bedouins, Israel Arabs,
everyone.
2. It only prohibits Palestinians from the Palestinian Territories from
becoming Israeli citizens due to marriage.
3. It does not prohibit marriage, it prohibits citizenship.
4. It is based on very real security concerns
As it does allow people from places other than the Palestinian Territories to
becoming citizens though marriage (to ANY Israeli), it fits right up there with
citizenship laws from such countries as Switzerland, which has 3 basic rules
when dealing with citizenship through marriage:
* integration into the Swiss way of life;
* compliance with the Swiss rule of law;
* no danger to Switzerland's internal or external security.
All Israel is looking at is that last rule.
I guess that blows the hell out of the apartheid crack. I really wonder if
people throwing that term around really look at the facts or just listen to
what the media tells them? There seem to be a lot of people using the term and
I really wonder if most of them even knows what it means.
