Israel passed a controversial new “nation-state law” last week that’s sparking both celebration and fierce debate over the very nature of Israel itself.
The law does three big things:
It states that “the right to exercise national self-determination” in Israel is “unique to the Jewish people."
It establishes Hebrew as Israel’s official language, and downgrades Arabic — a language widely spoken by Arab Israelis — to a “special status.”
It establishes “Jewish settlement as a national value” and mandates that the state “will labor to encourage and promote its establishment and development.”

Fuck no.
Are you blatantly lying or are you just incredibly misinformed?
They’re right, there’s a lot of Arab citizens in Israel proper who live normal lives.
It’s the Arab population in occupied Gaza and West Bank that do not have equal citizenship protections.
