Apartheid
Israel never ceases to amaze me. Every
day there is something new that it does to show just how discriminatory it is
towards the Palestinian population. It
is as if Apartheid Israel tries to compete with the previous day as to how discriminatory
it can be. It is truly amazing.
Today,
I opened the Haartez.com, the web page of one of Apartheid Israel’s leading
newspaper. Within seconds, I found an
article about Apartheid Israel’s Supreme Court denying citizenship to Palestinians
who have married Israeli Arabs citizens.
This denial was exclusive to Palestinians but was subsequently extended
to include “Iran, Lebanon, Syria and Iraq as well as other
areas on which the government was free to decide,” according to the Haartez.com
article http://www.haaretz.com/news/national/israel-s-high-court-rejects-petitions-against-citizenship-law-1.406794
What
can this mean?
Every
country controls immigration. The United
States immigration policy is based on an annual quota system for family
unifications. There are different immigration
categories based on the family relationship of the immigrant applicant to the US
citizen or resident alien. Spouses of US
citizens get immediate preferable treatment; whereas spouses of US alien
residents have to wait until their application date is reached through the
quota system. It is complicated but
fair. It does not discriminate against
any particular persons, except communists and Nazis and people with certain
deceases.
Immigration
is mostly based on the compassionate need of family reunification.
In its paranoia,
Apartheid Israel claims excluding Palestinians married to Israeli Arabs is done
for security reasons. While I can understand its security concerns,
the hysteria within Apartheid Israel can best be explained in its fear of
numbers. If Israeli Arabs are forced to
marry other Israeli Arabs the population of Israeli Arabs stays the same because
of this marriage. If, on the other hand, if an Israeli Arab marries
a Palestinian from the West Bank, then granting citizenship to the Palestinian
increases the number of Israeli Arabs within Apartheid Israel by one plus the children
of the marriage.
Because Palestinians are excluded
from immigration to Apartheid Israel, the Israeli Arab will have to either live
apart from his/her spouse or move to where his/her spouse lives. Moving is most likely the only option and
thus Apartheid Israel’s policy in effect decreases the number of Israeli Arabs
by one plus the number of their children.
Since its birthe in 1948, Apartheid
Israel does everything it can to reduce the number of Palestinians in 1948
Palestine. In 1948, the Irgun Gang led
by future Apartheid Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, slaughtered the town
of Deir Yassin causing Palestinians in other towns to flee. This policy of Palestinian cleansing has been
the policy of Apartheid Israel ever since.
Despite
Apartheid Israel’s desperate and massive recruitment of Jews from Russia , Ethiopia
and other countries in the last four decades, the number of Palestinians living
in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza will be equal by 2016. After that time, the population of
Palestinians will be greater than Jews.
This scares Apartheid Israel.
So when
the Apartheid Israeli Supreme Court refuses to review the law denying Israeli
citizenship to a Palestinian married to an Israeli Arab it is perpetuating
apartheid in Israel. It is fighting the
game of numbers one marriage at a time. It is afraid of the number 1.
