July 28 2005 Israel/Occupied Territories: Amnesty International condemns discriminatory laws passed by the Israeli Knesset http://www.amnestyusa.org/countries...025704C005459AD ...According to the new Civil Torts (Liability of the State) Law, some three and a half million Palestinians who live under Israeli military occupation in the West Bank and Gaza Strip are considered "residents of a conflict zone". As such, they are denied the right to claim compensation for death, injury, or damage to property inflicted on them by Israeli forces.

The law, which applies retroactively to incidents going back to September 2000, applies only to Palestinians – not to Israelis who reside in the Occupied Territories in violation of international law....Its effect will be to deny a fundamental right to victims such as the ten children of Noha Maqadmeh, who became orphans and were rendered homeless after their pregnant mother was killed in her bed when her home collapsed as Israeli soldiers blew up a neighbouring house in the al-Bureij refugee camp in the Gaza Strip on 3 March 2003. Six nearby houses were also destroyed in the blast, leaving some 90 other people homeless and now with no prospect of any reparation for the wrong done to them.

So you only knock down the home of any innocent woman, killing her in her bed, and leaving ten children orphans. Now, last week, you pass the new Civil Torts (Liability of the State) Law, a piece of law that Hitler would have been proud of and in violation of international law. Not only does it give no prospect of any reparation for the wrong done to them, it is RETROSPECTIVLY. Tell me of a worse piece of law passed anywhere. Maybe the other law passed inhibiting 'mixed' marriages passed the same day is worse. You decide.

AMNESTY. An amendment to the Citizenship and Entry into Israel Law (Family Reunification Law) was also approved by 59 Israeli lawmakers on 27 July. It bars family unification for Israelis who are married to Palestinian women aged under 25 and to Palestinian men aged under 35. This law discriminates explicitly against Palestinians and also implicitly against Palestinian citizens of Israel, who constitute some 20 percent of the Israel's population, and against Palestinian Jerusalemites, as it is they almost exclusively who marry Palestinians from the Occupied Territories.

This law formally institutionalizes a form of racial discrimination based on ethnicity or nationality.
As such, it violates the absolute prohibition on discrimination set out in international human rights law,... Israel has ratified all of these treaties and is obliged to implement them. http://www.amnestyusa.org/countries...025704C005459AD
ISRAEL IS RACIST. How long will the US support a blatantly racist state-let???
