The EU-funded Association for Civil Rights in Israel pushed the Registrar for Cooperative Associations to seek the cancellation of the Mitzpe Aviv village charter.
The offending document asks of future residents that they share the values of Zionism—which, as ACRI rightly understands, implies rejection of Israeli Arabs.
But if they do not share our values, should we not expel them rather than admitting them into our communities?
The Mitzpe Aviv case will be a litmus test for many other communities who use politically correct wordings in statutes designed to discourage Arabs from joining the attractive villages the Jews have developed for themselves.
I’m a white person from South Africa but I have not heard such racist talk since the old apartheid days. Why is the world not implementing sanctions against Israel for this behaviour??
Perhaps we don’t want to tread the path of South Africa?
You don’t want to tread the path to equality and justice for all? This is why the world needs to put pressure on you to follow that path.
