israel State should respect the eqaulity in justice and opportunity to social harmony including in the apportioning accessibility to purchasing of lands for all its citizens without any discriminating attitude.
Unfortunately this bill is in a long line of such discriminatory practices, which are inevitable in a state which is 'Jewish'. The key question is whether Israel is to be a state of its own citizens, a democratic state, or a Jewish state, i.e. a state of only some of its citizens.
This is yet another example of the unequal status for Palestinian Israelis. It does not comply with the democratic ideals that Israel proclaims it stands for.
Jews elsewhere fought for legal equality. The denial of the very equality we and our fathers fought for in a state our fathers also fought for is an affront to us.
No discrimination is acceptable, and no discrimination is harmless, because all discrimination begets fear, all discrimination begets hatred, and all discrimination begets more discrimination.
No resolution of the Palestine question, no security, no peace, no prosperity, unless the distance between the two peoples, The Israeli and the Palestinian is shortened constantly
if Israel ever would like to be a real democracy this would be the first and most basic step for Israel. It is a shame that this has been turned back and is eflecting the direction Israel is heading. Smadar.
For those of us who have spent years fighting the slanderous claim that Zionism is a form of racism, it certainly feels like a betrayal when the Knesset itself chooses to ingrain racism into Israel's land policy.
Jews were also treated like this once, but the they got their own land and are now treated like this by a Jewish regime. Evidently, that regime doesn't remember those times and misses the bitter joke here.
Indeed, not only is this motion undemocratic, it also provides justification for other countries to pass laws restricting Jews from living in given districts and aeas.
