(BESA Center for Strategic Studies-Bar-Ilan University) Prof. Shmuel Sandler - The main criticism levelled at Israel's new nationality law (Basic Law: Israel as the Nation-State of the Jewish People) revolves around the law's non-allusion to the issue of civil equality. Critics claim that this omission implies the inequality of Israel's non-Jewish minorities, such as Arabs and Druze, before the law. But this claim is wholly misconceived. Just as individuals have the right to define their government, so too does the collective have the right to define its identity. All citizens of Israel enjoy civil equality. Its Basic Law: Human Dignity and Liberty defines the state as a democracy and ensures individual rights and liberties. The writer is president of Emunah-Efrat College in Jerusalem and a senior research associate at the BESA Center. 2018-08-10 00:00:00Full Article
