Israel in turmoil over bill allowing Jews and Arabs to be segregated

It would be funny that only humans have race if it weren't so depressing.

I think the word 'race' might be considered a little old fashioned now, the word 'ethnic' or 'ethnicity' being used instead.

In a wider context 'species' is possibly more likely used. However, the word 'race' is still in common use.

WE are all of the 'human race' after all

The definition we use was determined to be the best one so as to avoid shutting threads down. Probably best we move on in this one.

For South Africa's apartheid sanctions where used to change goverment policy.

Do you think similar actions will come into effect if this gets pushed thought and implemented?

Possibly, depends on what the actual implementation and actions will look like. And if it warrants it then why not in my opinion.

As per the post by @robel in the thread that isn't about this topic

I'm changing my position, the original worded bill was awful and words failed me. However it wasn't actually that bill that was passed at all, it has been reworded and the discriminatory elements didn't actually make it in the approved version.

Full English text: Read the full Jewish Nation-State Law

So if the above is correct and accurate, then I don't see the issue with it.

The text was changed from the early version but this is the same policy isn’t it? These two points stand out as the same pro-Jewish/Anti-Palestinian policies as before;

As per Robel words previously. Nothing controversial there unless you want to deny its right to existence. But those were previously the controversial paragraphs either, so nice attempt to shift the goal posts.

How am I shifting the goal posts? That’s the exact same text I read last week and you even called the policy indefensible yourself.  Why has your view changed in the space of a few days?
