Oh, the racism of the Jewish Nation-State Law!

Read literature and essays written by Palestinian Authority officials. Read what the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement writes. Read what Students for Justice for Palestinians (SJP) say and write about. Then read opinion essays of the Left, both in Israel and abroad. You'll discover something.

Leftists don't just echo anti-Israel Palestinian arguments. They repeat those arguments word-for-word. What the Left writes about Israel could well have been written for them by Hamas and the Palestinian Authority (PA).

Does the PA really write what Leftists print? We don't know.

Is it possible Leftist essays sound so much like Palestinian-penned attacks against Israel because these Jew-haters are too lazy to research both sides of the Arab-Israel conflict? We don't know.

 Are anti-Israel Leftists so blinded with hate they think parroting Arab Jew-hate is the height of professional journalism? We don't know. 

This week we've gotten a new look at these questions because Palestinians--and the Jew-hating Leftists who support them--have responded with one voice to a singular Israeli action. This action is one which these Jew-haters can only describe as horrific. It's a Jewish action that is, for Jew-haters, catastrophic. 

What these people respond to is a new Law Israel's Knesset has just passed. It's called the Jewish Nation-State Law (here). 

This new Law does something unforgivable (hold your breathe; this could shock you): it identifies Israel as............... the nation-state of the Jewish people.

Oh, the horror of it! Oh, the inhumanity of it! Oh, the racism!!!!!

Jew-hating Leftists and Palestinians agree unanimously: this new Law is horrible. It's racist (here). It is the death of Israel's democracy (here). It's an apartheid law (here). It jettisons the standards Israel had established in its own Declaration of Independence (here). It's an "incendiary" move that's racist and anti-democratic (here).  It's a betrayal of Israel's Declaration of Independence (ibid). 

It endangers Israel's future (here). It's a violation of human rights (here). It's a Law "born in sin" (ibid).

If you want to know which of the above criticisms are Palestinian, which Leftist, don't worry. The words come from both Palestinians and Leftists (except for the 'sin' part. That'll only come, naturally, from Leftist Jews).

Of course, this Law is none of these things. But no one is listening to such talk. Jew-haters say the details of this Law are too awful to talk about anything else.

This new law contains 11 'statements', each with several details attached. The details of these statements include the following, which cause the eruptions you saw above (my own version of the Law's 'problems' are in brackets):


-Israel is the historical homeland of the Jewish people in which the state of Israel was established [Jews dare to do what?]

-The state of Israel is the nation-state of the Jewish people, in which it actualizes its natural, religious, and historical right for self-determination [Who gave Jews this right?]

-The actualization of the right of national self-determination in the state of Israel is unique to the Jewish people [This is racist! This is racist! This is racist!]
  
-The national anthem of the state is "Hatikvah" [What? This song has Jews   singing that their dream of return has at last been realized?; this is racism at its worst!]

- [The] unified and complete [city of] Jerusalem is the capital of Israel [That's illegal! Jews have no right to Jerusalem!!!!! Jews have no right to Jerusalem!!!!]

 - Hebrew is the language of the state [The gall of these Jews!]

-The Arabic language has a special status in the state; the regulation of the Arab     language in state institutions or when facing them [sic]will be regulated by law. [This law strips the Arab of having an official language in Israel!!!!]

-This clause does not change the status given to the Arabic language [But Jew-haters say it does! It does! It does!]

-The state views Jewish settlement as a national value and will labor to encourage and promote its establishment and development [the nerve of these greedy Jews!!!!].

To  hear Arabs and Leftists cry over this Law, you’d think the Jews of Israel have just blown up the world. The Jews of Israel haven't done any such thing. 

But that is irrelevant. What's relevant is, the Jews in Israel have just offended virtually every Jew-hater. 

This Law sticks in the throats of Jew-haters everywhere because it—the Law—says something they have fought for decades to prevent and then to abort. The Law, contrary to Jew-haters desires, says that Israel really is the uniquely Jewish homeland of the Jewish people, with unique Jewish values which this Jewish State will work to promote.

Oh, the racism of it!!!!

Okay, so Muslims can have such an Islamic nation--several of them. Christians can have the same right--in several nations. But the Jews? 

What????????? That's racism!!! It's anti-Democratic!!!!!

Really? If Jew-haters are so upset, I've got a piece of advice for them. Go choke on your hate. You've earned it.
