Jewish Nation-State Law / Jabareen, Hassan ; Bishara, Suhad

Jabareen, Hassan	Journal Article

Summary/Abstract

This analysis explores the origins and constitutional implications of Basic Law: Israel – The Nation State of the Jewish People (hereafter the Jewish Nation-State Law), enacted by the Israeli Knesset in July 2018. It examines the antecedents of the legislation in Israeli jurisprudence and argues that most of the law's provisions are the product of precedents established by Israel's Supreme Court, specifically the court's rulings delivered post-Oslo. The authors contend that the “two states for two peoples” vision of so-called liberal Zionists paved the way for Israel's right-wing politicians to introduce this law. Their analysis holds that the law is radical in nature: far from being a mere continuation of the status quo, it confers unprecedented constitutional status on ordinary policies and destabilizes the prevailing legal distinction between the area within the Green Line and the 1967 occupied territories.

Jewish Nation-State Law Supporters Will Achieve The Opposite Of What They Wanted / AbuZayyad, Ziad

Summary/Abstract

The recently passed Jewish Nation-State Law lays the constitutional cornerstone of Israel’s attitude and behavior toward the Palestinians, both those who remained after the 1948 War — the Nakba — where they had been living before the creation of Israel and became Israeli citizens, and those living in the Palestinian Occupied Territories (OPT). Although the law in its entirety is anti-Arab, anti-democratic and discriminatory against Arabs and their culture, there are two elements in that law that affect critical aspects of the relations between Palestinian Arabs and Jews.
