Palestinian in Exile

We have always argued that there is an oxymoron in the definition of Israel as Jewish and democratic. For it is inevitable that at one point or another the contradiction will come out, and in these moments Israel would have to decide if it is really democratic, or really Jewish. To those of us who are willing to look beyond the meaningless rhetoric and propaganda, it was obvious, Israel is Jewish and not democratic.There are several instances which highlight this. Take for example the issue of the Law of Return, which gives any Jew from anywhere on this planet citizenship upon arriving into Israel, and deprives those who originally lived there from the same right. Or another example, the fact that 93% of the Land of Israel is off-limits to non-jews (according to Uri Davis, this exceeds the SA apartheid era laws with which 87% percent of the land was off limits to blacks). The examples are countless.What spurred this, is a new letter issued by the Prime Minister office, addressed to Balad Party (Democratic National Assembly). The Letter stipulates that the PMO will combat any organisation or individual conducting activities which might be regarded as harming Israel's Jewish or Democratic nature, EVEN IF THE ACTIVITY WAS LEGAL AND UTILISED DEMOCRATIC TOOLS.First, you can see that the quote places Jewish nature of the state infront of its democratic nature. It is a clear signal of where the Zionists' priorities lie.Secondly, no respectable democratic country would declare such a policy. Assume, for example, that the Queen of England decides to outlaw any activity aiming at secession from the thrown. How would the republicans of Australia, and even the large majority of Aussies and Brits react to such a decision?Thirdly, the PMO sent this letter to the foremost proponent of a democratic state which is based on equality between all citizens. So the letter, is not really aimed at those activities against the democratic nature of the state, but rather, its Jewish nature.The PMOs threat of using force is a signal of how Israel is willing to resort to undemocratic means to achieve its undemocratic objective of maintaining the subordination of Palestinians, even in the face of purely democratic activities. Israel exposes itself, again!
