Israel declares itself a Jewish state

DAILYKENN.com —While the USA never declared itself a white state, our nation’s Naturalization Act of 1790 granted citizenship to free White persons of good character. It remained the law of the land until 1870 when the naturalization provision was revised to include persons of African descent.

Israel’s new law is effectively the same as the Naturalization Act of 1790 except it applies to Jews in Israel rather than whites in America.

Is Israel’s law racist?

To place that question in context:

Below, in bold, we’ve copied Israel’s new law and substituted “Jew” with “Caucasian,” “Hebrew” with “English,”  etc. as the law of the nation of Albion.

Israel is not the only ethno state. Liberia’s constitution reportedly grants citizenship exclusively to black Africans.

Called The Basic Law: Israel as the Nation State of the Jewish People, the legislation essentially defines Israel first and foremost as a Jewish state.

Among its 11 provisions, it describes Israel as “the national home of the Jewish people” and says the right to exercise national self-determination there is “unique to the Jewish people”.
