>From Israeli Occupation Archive – Editor: We’ve yet to read about a similar sentencing of a man who falsely claimed to be wealthy, or a movie-director or, for that matter, single – all pretences that happen daily. For centuries, people have lied in the pursuit of sex, and this comment is not an attempt to justify it. But it is clear that only this one particular lie – for an Arab to dare pretend being a Jew(!), something which the accused denied doing – will land a Palestinian in jail for 18 months, “to protect the public interest.” In Israel, that is. Ethnic separation is very important to most Israelis (see *Israel bids to stop interracial dating<http://www.israeli-occupation.org/2009-09-25/jonathan-cook-israel-bids-to-stop-interracial-dating/> *), and this judge seems eager to comply. This is Apartheid-style racism that is deep-seated in Israel – including among the ‘educated classes,’ such as lawyers and judges. http://www.israeli-occupation.org/2010-07-20/arab-man-who-posed-as-jew-to-seduce-woman-convicted-of-rape/ ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: [email protected] Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
