Escalating the demographic war: the strategic goal of Israeli racism in Palestine
RAMZY BAROUD explains the purpose behind behind new legal measures to remove citizenship from Arab-Israelis, as the state panics in light of a united Arab-Palestinian list becoming the third-largest political party
On Wednesday, October 28, 18 members of the Israeli Parliament proposed a Bill that would revoke Israeli citizenship for any Palestinian Arab prisoner in Israel who, directly or indirectly, receives any financial aid from the Palestinian Authority

THE discussion on institutional Israeli racism against its own Palestinian Arab population has all but ceased following the final approval of the discriminatory Nation-State Law in July 2018. Indeed, the latest addition to Israel’s Basic Law is the mere start of a new government-espoused agenda that is designed to further marginalise over a fifth of Israel’s population.

On Wednesday, October 28, 18 members of the Israeli Parliament (Knesset) conjured up yet another ploy to target Israeli Arab citizens. They proposed a Bill that would revoke Israeli citizenship for any Palestinian Arab prisoner in Israel who, directly or indirectly, receives any financial aid from the Palestinian Authority (PA).

Worthy of mention is that these MKs not only represent right-wing, ultra-right and religious parties, but also the Blue and White (Kahol Lavan) “centrist” party. Namely, the proposed Bill already has the support of Israel’s parliamentary majority.
