No land, by law, to the Arabs

"This will be a powerful propagandistic weapon in the hands of those forces trying to de-legitimize Israel by accusing it of being an apartheid, racist system," an internet-surfer, whose signature is Jbb, writes. Another one, Kol, instead is persuaded that "Israel is under no condition a democracy," since "too many things carry a mark: for Jews only." Avrohom cuts the story short: "A dreadful law."

Pouring like a flooding river on the newspaper's website, readers' comments in the conservative-orientated Jerusalem Post reflect the outcry that has been aroused by the bill the Israeli Parliament passed last Wednesday evening. On a first reading, the Knesset passed a rule by 64 "yes" votes and 16 "no" votes (only one abstention) ­ put forward by the right along with Ehud Olmert's Kadima ­ which bans non-Jews from purchasing lands belonging to the Jewish National Fund, an institution which controls 13% of Israeli territory. In this way, the Knesset members are trying to by-pass a ruling by the Attorney General, Menachem Mazuz, who announced last January that the Israeli Land Administration, which is the state organism supervising land sales, would have to rectify its 10-year-long policy of selling allotments only to Jews and to start giving them to the Israeli Arab population as well, who represent about 20% of the Jewish state's population.

The funny thing is that Carter's book "Peace or Apartheid" says that Apartheid is taking place in Gaza and the West Bank whereas inside Israel is a democratic society. Of course, the much less advertised but absolutely indispensable book by Jonathan Cook "Blood and Religion" totally destroys this much repeated fallacy. The article above is just one small illustration of the fact that Israel is fundamentally racist state who will only see peace when it abandons its delusion of being a "Jewish State" and becomes a one man one vote unitary democratic state.

Any "two state solution" being by definition based on race will only perpetuate the war.
