Israel in turmoil over bill allowing Jews and Arabs to be segregated
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jul/15/israel-turmoil-bill-allowing-jews-arabs-segregated?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Google%2B
Israel is in the throes of political upheaval as the country's
ruling party seeks to pass legislation that could allow for
Jewish-only communities, which critics have condemned as the end of a
democratic state. For the past half-decade, politicians have been
wrangling over the details of the bill that holds constitution-like
status and that Benjamin Netanyahu wants passed this month. The
proposed legislation would allow the state to "authorise a community
composed of people having the same faith and nationality to maintain
the exclusive character of that community". In its current state, the
draft would also permit Jewish religious law to be implemented in
certain cases and remove Arabic as an official language.

[Religion]State should never be juxtaposed. ANY country that goes down
this sort of apartheid path -- irrespective of evil forces attacking
it -- does not have a right to exist in the 21st century. Such a path will
doom Israel.
