ISRAEL’S apologists have always insisted it does not merit the epithet “apartheid,” but they have been cut off at the knees by last week’s Knesset approval of a nation-state law.
The new legislation, which has the status of a constitutional basic law, defines Israel as the national homeland of the Jewish people and asserts that “realisation of the right to national self-determination in Israel is unique to the Jewish people.”
It confirms Tel Aviv’s illegal land grab perpetrated against east Jerusalem, naming “a united Jerusalem” as Israel’s capital, and designates Hebrew as the state’s official language, downgrading Arabic to one with “special status.”
