Israel Votes To Create Jewish Ethnostate

Jews: America is a “nation of immigrants.” Abolish ICE. Build The Wall is racist. White Nationalism is immoral. Ethnostates are tantamount to Nazism.

Also Jews: Israel is a Jewish state. Syrian refugees are a threat to Israel. African immigrants should be deported. Israel should create exclusively Jewish communities.

“Amid a moment of national euphoria, Israel’s founding prime minister, David Ben-Gurion, emerged from retirement in July 1967 to warn Israelis they had sown the seeds of self-destruction.

Israel had just won a stunning military victory against its neighbors, elating Israelis with a sense that the grand experiment of a Jewish state might really work.

But Ben-Gurion insisted that Israel give up the territories it had conquered. If it did not, he said, occupation would distort the young state, which had been founded to protect not just the Jewish people but their ideals of democracy and pluralism.

Now, a half century and one year later, Israel has formally declared the right of national self-determination, once envisioned to include all within its borders, as “unique to the Jewish people.” …”

What is their objection to White Nationalism?

“Following the howls of criticism leveled at Section 7 of the Basic Law on the Nation-State, enabling the establishment of segregated communities based on religion, nationality or other characteristics, the coalition came up with a new version: “The state sees developing Jewish communities a national value and will act to encourage, promote and establish them.” Racists, it turns out, remain racist.

The previous version tried to garb the provision in the appearance of neutrality towards the group. It was only in appearance, because a day-old babe in arms would realize that the whole point of the provision is to enable the establishment of purely Jewish settlements through the constitution, not just through the law. The new version raises the overt, blunt discrimination to the constitutional level. After all, how could Jewish settlement be advanced without confining it to Jews? And that isn’t necessarily in tiny existing communities but in new ones established in order to manifest the national value of Jewish settlement. And why confine this Judaification to small rural communities, instead of letting this racism flourish everywhere – in the cities too?
