(12,283 posts)the state of israel does use blood/identifiable criteria for ethnic laws....
i'm just clarifying the issue.....the use of laws based on ethniticiy to screw others who are not of that ethnicity is apparently used by many many many countries around the world (most), INCLUDING western countries ....that claim "equality under the law*
*unless of course your an indian, bediouin, aborigine, eskimo, a midget, 1/5 black, 1/8 indian, in which case you get special laws that in effect gives u special rights that many times will screw others (as in admission to universities or jobs).

so i believe we have cleared up that aspect: The bedouin may indeed need some unique laws to help bring them in the fold of citizenship that the others have all adapted to, and its probably due to the fact that israel concentrated on the north more than the south, but whatever the solution is, the principle remains that....
Laws based on ethnicity remains RACIST whether it be better or worse for the jew, christian, muslim, or better for the country as a whole it remains racist.
your disagreement with the state of israel is not that it has racists laws, your for them, you disagree with who gets the advantage of the racist laws, not the concept of it
