Was suprised when I saw this one:
Also note that only about 20 israel-arabs out of 130 000 are considered to have participated in attacks against Israel.
The strange thing is that I didn't see it on the frontpages of the newsites I usually visit. I would think such a racist and discriminatory law would deserve at least some attention..Under new legislation, Arabs from the occupied territories may no longer join their spouses in Israel.
Arab legislators say the law's origins predate the suicide bombing cited as justification for the legislation, and reflect an effort to preserve a clear Jewish majority over Arabs.
"This has nothing to do with security. The idea is to reduce the number of Arabs in Israel," Azmi Bishara, an Arab legislator, said during a Knesset debate.
