The Israeli government seems determined to continue its policy of discrimination, oppression and effective apartheid against its Palestinian citizens. While governments in the West are pressured into accepting hordes of immigrants from Arab countries and providing them with all of the necessities of life, the Israelis do just the opposite and seem immune to the international condemnation that should be forthcoming.
Today's news carries the story that this racist Israeli government has passed a new law providing for the retrospective legalisation of 3,800 settlement homes built on land privately owned by Palestinians. Apparently, the Palestinian former owners of this land will be compensated, but that is hardly the point; the whole process is akin to legalised theft with the former owners left utterly dependent on the extent to which the Israeli hierarchy considers such compensation to be payable and even necessary.
That this is outrageous is obvious. That the rest of the world does nothing about it is even worse.
