Good Morning! Just a friendly reminder... all the laws and regulations that you live under were created by people who don't care about you.
Have a great Sunday!
Some facts about our "Greatest Ally".
Any Jew can obtain Israeli citizenship under the "Law of Return". This law grants the right to citizenship to all Jews, defined as individuals born to a Jewish parent, converts to Judaism, or their descendants (children and grandchildren), as long as they are not practicing another religion. Additionally, the spouses of Jews or their descendants are also eligible for citizenship through Aliyah.
Although foreigned Jew who has never stepped foot in Israel has the right to become a citizen, Palestinians in East Jerusalem typically only hold permanent residency and can't become citizens. They do not have voting rights in national elections. Many Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza remain stateless.
Those Palestinian who are citizens of Israel have legal rights such as voting, holding public office, and accessing public services, similar to Jewish citizens. However, they face systemic discrimination in various areas:
Land and Housing:
Many laws and policies restrict Palestinian access to land and housing while prioritizing Jewish settlements.
Education and Funding: Palestinian-majority schools receive less funding than Jewish-majority ones.
Language and Identity:
Arabic was downgraded from an official language in 2018, and the "Nation-State Law" enshrines Jewish self-determination exclusively.
Family Reunification:
Laws prevent Palestinians from the West Bank or Gaza from gaining citizenship through marriage to Israeli citizens.
