A new bill being promoted by Israel's ministerial comittee, which essentially legalizes discrimination against minorities in Israel, demonstrates the vigorously anti-democratic spirit of Israel's new government.
If anyone thought that the wave of anti-democratic legislation that had characterized the previous Knesset would stop with the end of its term, a decision by the Ministerial Committee for Legislation on Sunday demonstrates that this government and Knesset apparently plans to go its predecessors one better in oppressing minorities and codifying discrimination against them.
Behind the name “Rights of Those Who Contribute to the State Law,” hides one of the most dangerous bills ever approved by the ministerial committee. The bill would permit favoring someone who served in the Israel Defense Forces when considering job candidates, setting salary terms, hiring for civil service positions, providing and ordering services from both state and commercial entities, allocating lands and renting rooms in university dorms.
This would essentially legalize discrimination against groups that are already weak and excluded, including Arabs, Haredim, the disabled, the ill and others, who were exempted from military service. Full story...
