Israel must safeguard Jewish majority even at the expense of human rights, the country’s justice minister Ayelet Shaked has said.
On Monday, Shaked proposed this in a speech defending a bill that would legally define Israel as the “national home of the Jewish people” for the first time, according to Days of Palestine.
Shaked said that Israel must maintain both a Jewish majority and democracy, but stressed that keeping the state’s Jewish character may come “at the price” of human rights violations.
“There is place to maintain a Jewish majority even at the price of violation of rights,” Shaked told a conference in Tel Aviv on Monday, Israeli media reported.
In her speech, Shaked, a member of the far-right Jewish Home party, defended the so-called Jewish Nation-State Bill, which would constitutionally define Israel as the national home of the Jewish people for the first time.
“There are places where the character of the State of Israel as a Jewish state must be maintained, and this sometimes comes at the expense of equality,” Shaked said, as reported by Israel’s Haaretz newspaper.
Shaked said that Israel must administer equal civil, but not national, rights.
“Israel is a Jewish state. It isn’t a state of all its nations. That is, equal rights to all citizens but not equal national rights,” she said.
‘Highly dangerous’
The contentious Nation-State Bill, which still needs to be approved by Israel’s parliament, the Knesset, passed a preliminary reading last May. It is expected to be brought to a first reading later this year.
The bill states that “the right to exercise national self-determination in the State of Israel is unique to the Jewish people”.
It also demotes Arabic from an official language to a language with “special status”, even though it is the mother tongue of approximately 1.7 million Palestinian citizens of the state.
Adalah, a legal centre for Palestinian citizens of Israel, said [PDF] that, because the bill would become a Basic Law in Israel, i.e. constitutionally binding, “its enactment could be used to justify through law widespread discrimination” against Israel’s non-Jewish citizens.
For that reason, it is “highly dangerous”, the group said.
The bill would also force all citizens of the state, regardless of their religion, to comply with Jewish civil law, often without legal precedent, explained [PDF] Mossawa, an advocacy centre for Palestinian citizens of Israel, in a position paper.
The legislation “clearly denigrates the non-Jewish, Palestinian Arab minority to the status of second-class citizens”, Mossawa concluded.

Jewish settlers escorted by soldiers on Monday stormed Wadi Qana area, northwest of Salfit, and embarked on demolishing agricultural structures belonging to Palestinian farmers.
Local sources told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that Israeli soldiers escorting settlers claiming to be from an environmental protection committee demolished two agricultural structures, amid fears of their intent to remove more buildings.
According to the sources, the Israeli occupation authority (IOA) always justifies such demolitions by claiming that the area is an agricultural reserve where changes and construction activities made by the locals are not allowed.
Over the past years, the IOF and settlers destroyed and uprooted thousands of olive trees and saplings in the area under the same pretext.
In this regard, Palestinian researcher Khaled Ma’aali said that the IOA had already threatened to raze several structures in Wadi Qana at the pretext that local framers violated the law by renovating and making changes to those structures.
Wadi Qana is encircled by eight illegal settlements encroaching slowly on what has remained of it, while Israel tries hard to impose restrictions on the local farmers to prevent them from developing and working their agricultural lands and force them to leave the area.

Israeli settlers on Monday morning spray-painted anti-Palestinian graffiti on walls and damaged Palestinian-owned cars after raiding Jerusalem’s neighborhood of al-Maghreba.

Many activists and rights groups have accused Israel of fostering a “culture of impunity” for Israelis committing violent acts and acts of terrorism against Palestinians.
