      I’ve got a book about the history of trains, but I’ve not seen anything about this. Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

            Well you edited your comment that said we were friends, now I have to edit mine.

            What’s your source for the original claim that Israel is an ethnostate?

              Israel passed a controversial new “nation-state law” last week that’s sparking both celebration and fierce debate over the very nature of Israel itself.

              The law does three big things:

              It states that “the right to exercise national self-determination” in Israel is “unique to the Jewish people.”

              It establishes Hebrew as Israel’s official language, and downgrades Arabic — a language widely spoken by Arab Israelis — to a “special status.”

              It establishes “Jewish settlement as a national value” and mandates that the state “will labor to encourage and promote its establishment and development.”

                lol what a shitty and thinly veiled religious law.

                1. god gave us this land, nobody else got their land from god

                2. our traditional language that our religious texts are written in is the most important and official language

                3. we should spread and settle outside of internationally agreed boundaries because we are god’s chosen people

                  This is exactly the reason why a majority of Israelis did not support the law, and it received significant criticism from broad Israeli groups on the right and left, Jewish, Druze, and Arab.

                  It’s also why it’s essentially never been enforced.
