Why Zionism-is-Racism
"Legislation that Israel's Arab citizens fear could limit their freedom of speech came a step closer on Sunday to becoming law. The bill, proposed by a legislator from the ultranationalist Yisrael Beitenu party of Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, would withhold government money from any state-supported institutions that fund activity deemed detrimental to the state. Such activity includes "rejecting Israel's existence as the state of the Jewish people" and supporting "armed struggle or terrorist acts" against Israel." (thanks Olivia)
