Israeli court ruling on citizenship 'racist'
http://www.aljazeera.com/news/mi…
Israel's Supreme Court has upheld a controversial law that bans most Palestinians who marry Israelis from obtaining either citizenship or residency in the country.
In a six-five ruling, the court agreed that Palestinians who gain Israeli citizenship through marriage pose a security threat.
Arab rights advocacy group Adalah condemned the ruling, with its lawyers Hassan Jabareen and Zaher saying the law "has no parallel in any democratic country in the world".
Jabareen told Al Jazeera that the ruling sets a dangerous precedent for racial hatred against Palestinians.
"The dangers of this decision are that it may legitimise many racist laws against Arabs living in Israel," he said.
- I'm not an Israeli. But, I feel like they're losing their way.waterhouse
- according to you, according to them, they're doing just dandy. "C'mon in boys, the water is fine"********
- Also, can you blame them wanting to keep their own identity in the world? Look around you, it's turning gray.********
