Discriminatory Laws - Update

During its 2011 Winter Term, the Knesset passed at least six new discriminatory laws that directly or indirectly target the rights of Palestinian Arab citizens of Israel. In parallel, the Knesset enacted a new law that imposes restrictions on foreign funding to human rights organizations and voted in favor of establishing two parliamentary committees of inquiry to investigate such organizations, a tactic that is commonly used by authoritarian regimes to control the activities of these groups. The connection between attacking the minority and human rights organizations that defend the rights of vulnerable groups is clear: the mask of democratic norms in Israel today is off. For more, click here.
