Since Jews can only be married in Israel by orthodox rites, Jews cannot receive an intermarriage ceremony within the state.
Although the term right of return refers to a principle of international law and gives any person the right to return or re-enter his country of origin, the Israeli Right of Return only permits foreign Jews to immediately gain citizenship and does not permit return of non-Jews, such as Palestinian refugees.
An Israel, according to the so-called Nakba law, must wholeheartedly and unreservedly celebrate the founding of the Jewish state in 1948. Any groups or institutions that mourn the event, which was accompanied by the expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Arab residents from their homes - the Nakba, or Catastrophe - or that deny the state's "Jewish and democratic nature" can now be denied state funds.
The Citizenship Law allows the state to revoke citizenship and imprison anyone convicted of acting against "the sovereignty of the state".
Fifty rabbis signed a declaration calling for Jews not to let Arabs rent apartments in their communities.
The state owns almost all the land and, except for special situations, refuses land sales to non-Jews.
In Eichmann in Jerusalem, Hannah Arendt noted similarity between the racist foundation of the state of Israel and the 1935 Nuremberg laws. Both laws were based on an idea of Judaism as a race, not as a religious practice, regardless of whether individuals identified themselves as a Jew or belonged to the Jewish religious community.
Many Jews refuse to accept the rationalization that the oppression of the Palestinian people is a temporary measure brought about by Israel's security considerations. They see no reason to be drawn into the conflict in which they have no part. Not so with the new Sicarii.
Three huge granite stones rest comfortably on the top of Midbar Sinai Street, in Givat Havatzim, Jerusalem's northernmost district. Cut to specification, the imposing stones represent one of several preparations by the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement's to erect a Third Temple on the Haram al-Sharif/Temple Mount. Since the Islamic Wafq owns and controls all the property on the Haram al-Sharif, by what means can these stones be transferred to the Temple Mount and how can a Temple be constructed there? Not by any legal means. The stones are a provocation, which the Israel government refuses to halt. Since the Sicarii now have the occupation forces on their side, it becomes obvious they will be more threatening. In ancient times, their efforts contributed to the destruction of Jerusalem and its Jewish population. Now they could destroy the entire Middle East and world Jewry. What else could make them happier?
