Israel's Knesset Passes Law Barring Palestinian Spouses.

Post by marindem01 »

JAFFA, March 10 (Reuters) - Israel’s parliament on Thursday passed a law denying naturalization to Palestinians from the occupied West Bank or Gaza married to Israeli citizens, forcing thousands of Palestinian families to either emigrate or live apart.

The so-called citizenship law passed just before the Knesset disbanded for a holiday recess by a 45-15 majority vote that crossed coalition-opposition lines.

It replaced a similar temporary order that first passed during the height of a Palestinian uprising in 2003 and was renewed annually until it expired last July, when the Knesset failed to secure a simple majority needed to extend it.

Seperating Families based on Ethnic Identity.

What's next, barring marriages between Jews and Palestinians?

Unfortunately, most Jewish Israelis and Palestinians who want to marry need to leave the country to do it.

Yes, that law sucks, one of a few crappy things the Haredi have pushed through the Knesset.
