    Default Israel is not a tolerant society

    U.S. State Department: Israel is not a tolerant society


    Israel dismally fails the requirements of a tolerant pluralistic society, according to a new report from the U.S. State Department.

    Despite boasting religious freedom and protection of all holy sites, Israel falls short in tolerance toward minorities, equal treatment of ethnic groups, openness toward various streams within society, and respect for holy and other sites.

    The comprehensive report, written by the State Department's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor, says Israel discriminates against groups including Muslims, Jehova's Witnesses, Reform Jews, Christians,women and Bedouin.


    The report says that the 1967 law on the protection of holy places refers to all religious groups in the country, including in Jerusalem, but "the government implements regulations only for Jewish sites. Non-Jewish holy sites do not enjoy legal protection under it because the government does not recognize them as official holy sites."


    At the end of 2008, for example, all of the 137 officially recognized holy sites were Jewish. Moreover, Israel issued regulations for the identification, preservation and guarding of Jewish sites only. Many Christian and Muslim sites are said to be neglected, inaccessible or at risk of exploitation by real estate entrepreneurs and local authorities.

    The report makes it clear that practices that have become routine in Israel are considered unacceptable in enlightened countries and should be corrected.

    Among other examples, the report notes that more than 300,000 immigrants who are not considered Jewish under rabbinical law are not allowed to marry and divorce in Israel or be buried in Jewish cemeteries.

    $5 says Israel will outlast all those self-proclaimed 'enlightened' countries

    Ha'aretz is Israel's most appalling left-wing rag.

    Therefore, anti-Zionists like to quote from it.

    Israel is not a tolerant society
    Toleration is not a virtue - it's closer to a vice.

    If Israel is not possessed by this vice, good for Israel. Perhaps they still have some sense left. It only makes them our superiors.

    Well, well, Israel is an example of how having a culture of paranoia has helped create a successful society.

    Your comment seems very hollow and more a device to negate and dismiss the information being reported.

    Despite its relatively low circulation, Haaretz is considered Israel's most influential daily newspaper.[8][9][10][11][12] Its readership includes Israel's intelligentsia and its political and economic elites.[12][13][14] Surveys show that Haaretz readership has a higher-than-average education, income, and wealth; most are Ashkenazis.[6][15] Shmuel Rosner, the newspaper's former U.S. correspondent, told The Nation, "people who read it are better educated and more sophisticated than most, but the rest of the country doesn't know it exists."
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haaretz

    Regardless whether it is Left, Center or Right, it is a highly respected and reputed newspaper clearly.

    From some of the behavior and comments I've read here it seems to be that of bowing down and being submissive to a foreigner's domination. Israel is illegally occupying the state of Palestine and has little regard for its religious and ethnic rights outside of their own. Maybe that kinda oppressive vile appeals to people like that which envies them.. because the neo-con nazi's have no nation of their own just their bedrooms.

    Anyhow, the point is that in this article it is seen that Israeli government does not uphold its own declaration of independence which guarantees that the government will "uphold the full social and political equality of all its citizens without distinction of race, creed and sex."

    I think you should read this:

    For a third time, says Gildas, the miserable Britons appealed for relief: "'To Aëtius, thrice consul: the groans of the British...The barbarians push us back to the sea, the sea pushes us back to the barbarians; between these two kinds of death, we are either drowned or slaughtered.' But they got no help in return."

    I neither dismiss nor disagree with the information being reported.

    What I had said is:

    If you dislike Israel, you will probably love Ha'aretz because it is a traitor paper, like the UK's 'Guardian' newspaper, also beloved of rich 'white' liberals, our 'political elites'.

    In Israel, such people are the wealthy 'educated' atheist Marxist Ashkenazim who are also the Bolshevik political elites of Israel.

    In the US you might call these people "dangerous subversive Zionist traitors", or neo-Trots/Cons.

    But, in Israel, you them, and their smelly newspaper, and you know why...

    Shmuel Rosner, the newspaper's former U.S. correspondent, told The Nation, "people who read it are better educated and more sophisticated than most, but the rest of the country doesn't know it exists."

    Go kiss Shmuel Rosner's left-wing Jewish butt.

    Oh, how my heart bleeds for the poor 'Palestinians'.

    Yes, but can a liberal ever be satisfied?

    In particular, a liberal US establishment which encourages (forces) Israel to surrender more and more of her territory which was bought or taken in fair military conquest.

    Err what? I'm not a Palestinian, and AFAIK we have yet to have one on the forum despite the best efforts of some members.

    Yes, and this guarantees an Obama election loss in 2012 without his media buddies supporting him next time around.
