What Is The Motive
Last update - 22:02 31/10/2007 Court orders Jewish town to set aside land for Arabs By Jack Khoury, Haaretz Corresopndent tags: Israel Lands AuthorityThe High Court of Justice on Wednesday issued a temporary injunction ordering that a plot of land in the predominantly Jewish town of Rakefet be set aside for an Israeli Arab couple who had been previously denied entry to the community for "lack of suitability."
The couple, residents of Sakhnin, said they were denied residency in the town because they are Arab. They added that local authorities in Rakefet and officials at the Israel Lands Authority had found an alternative way to keep them from moving into the town - by stating that according to a "suitability test," the couple was "not socially fit to live in the town, according to expert opinion."
The two petitioned the High Court in February, with the aid of the non-profit group Adalah, asking that an order be issued to allow them to live in the town. Adalah, an organization that battles discrimination against Israeli Arabs, represented the couple in their petition to the High Court of Justice in February.
The couple, Ahmed and Fathina Zvidat, graduates of the archaeology department at Jerusalem's Bezalel College, tried in 2006 to find a place to live in northern Israel. According to the petition, when the two wanted to move to Rakefet, they were required to undergo a "suitability test", in accordance with Israel Lands Authority decision 1015.
This issue is a very emotional issue and I have to say that I would not want to have Israeli Arabs, or Bedouin given the right to live in my moshav. On the other hand I would welcome a Druze as a neighbor.
The issue is one of security, when Israeli Arab members of Knesset call for the destruction of the Jewish State day in and day out and some even helped Hizbullah during the second Lebanon war, I am sorry I don't want then near me.
Once again we see the court in Israel work to weaken the Jewish nature of Israel. At a time when not enough of our children are being educated in what it means to be Jewish and are not being taught the truth of the Torah.
What is to keep our children from getting married to the Arab kid that lives next door. It is not bad enough that so many American Jews are being lost to assimilation now the Israeli courts are working to bring assimilation to Israel.
Why is it a crime to have a Jewish State?
What is the motive of these Arabs who to want to live in a Jewish town?
What is the motive of the Israeli courts to force this issue on the Jews of Israel?
