Racist Zio-Nazi’s: A Jew Is a Blessed Soul, An Arab Is a Son of a Whore: I$raHell Veers Right

NOVANEWS

Like a rat caught in a trap, Israel improbably, harrowingly continues to plummet ever further into a frenzied de facto holy war against its own Arab population, evidently unaware that more of the same – racism, injustice, suffering – will not bring peace. In the last few weeks, it has instead brought this: A bill declaring Israel a Jewish nation-state belonging to Jews around the world but not its own citizens, who awkwardly happen to include over 1.5 million Palestinians, thus officially making Israel’s much-touted “democracy” into what is in fact an ethnocracy; a proposal to pay Israeli Arabs to leave Israel in order to help resolve the “duality and divided loyalties from which they are suffering”; a Netanyahu-inspired, eight-part crackdown on “terrorism” – deport, disenfranchise, demolish homes, revoke citizenships, ban the Palestinian flag as an “enemy flag” – aimed at fostering “real deterrence”; a resurgence of home demolitions as punishment for violence, despite numerous studies finding they act not to deter but to provoke; a broad campaign to silence Palestinian political dissent that has often targeted Knesset member Haneen Zoabi – she has been suspended, threatened, branded a terrorist and charged with “incitement” – for daring to criticize the assault on Gaza, or as she puts it, for “cross(ing) the lines of consensus — a warlike, aggressive, racist, populist, chauvinist, arrogant consensus.”

The “leaders” lead, the people follow. Even as officials codify the country’s oppression, right-wing hooliganism rages out of control. A suspected arson attack on Jerusalem’s thriving Arab-Jewish schoolburned books, destroyed most of the school, and left walls defaced with graffiti reading “End Assimilation” and “There Is No Coexistence With a Cancer”; racist thugs regularly protest progressive or Arab-Jewish events by targeting human-rights advocates they liken to anti-Semites and Nazis and threatening, “We will make soap out of you”; officials are investigating a recent Facebook post that depicted top politicians as Nazis – there is a recurring theme here – for questioning the highly questionable Israel-Is-Only-For-Jews bill; and Israeli president Reuven Rivlin, Likud member, longtime conservative, critic of racist rhetoric and “Israel’s most unlikely moralist,” has been excoriated for declaring that Israel is “sick”, having forgotten not just how to be Jews, but how to be human. Meanwhile, the U.S. just announced it will be sending Israel 3,000 more smart bombs like those used in the Gaza assault, at a cost of $82 million. Because this – offering succor and guns to those standing on the wrong side of history – is what we do. None of it will end well.

alestinian legislators in the Israeli Parliament criticised a controversial new bill defining Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people.

The proposed legislation, which was approved by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government on Sunday, is expected to get its first reading in the parliament, or Knesset, next week.

It is designed to demote Arabic – spoken by the fifth of the population who belong to the country’s Palestinian minority – from its current status as an official language, and makes “Jewish tradition” and “the prophets of Israel” a primary source of legal and judicial authority.

More specifically, it formally defines Israel as belonging to Jews around the world rather than to its citizens, which includes 1.5 million Palestinians.

Critics, including the Israeli President, Reuven Rivlin, and the government’s chief legal adviser, Yehuda Weinstein, have warned that the legislation will undermine democratic safeguards protecting the rights of Israel’s Palestinian citizens.

In explaining the need for the bill, Netanyahu told his ministers it was important that “there are national rights only for the Jewish people – a flag, anthem, the right of every Jew to immigrate to Israel and other national symbols”.

the country’s Foreign Minister! There’s the prime minister’s bill to bar the Palestinian flag as an “enemy” flag at demonstrations and deport Palestinian Israelis accused of crimes to Gaza. There’s the new bill to declare Israel the “nation state of the Jewish people,” which would demote Arabic from being an official language so that the 20 percent non-Jewish population don’t get any ideas that this is their country, too. The bill would formally define Israel as “belonging to Jews around the world” and “make ‘Jewish tradition’ and ‘the prophets of Israel’ a primary source of legal and judicial authority” (per Jonathan Cook).

The bill has already borne fruit. There was a bookburning at a bilingual school in Jerusalem two nights ago. And warnings of more bookburnings from a leftwing graffiti artist: “In a place where nation-state laws are passed, books will be burned.”

The fascism allegations are going in both directions. Several leading politicians who oppose that bill were pictured on Facebook wearing Nazi outfits. The Times of Israel reports that the minister of public security has demanded an investigation of the satire, because it crosses a line:
