Israeli nationality law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
What is the difference between this approach and a country club that bars African-Americans, or, perhaps, Jews?
"Adults may acquire Israeli citizenship through naturalization. To be eligible for naturalization, a person must have resided in Israel for three years out of the previous five years. In addition, the applicant must have a right to reside in Israel on a permanent basis. All naturalization requests are, however, at the discretion of the Minister of the Interior. The Citizenship and Entry into Israel Law of 2003 suspended this practice in the case of citizens of a number of countries, which some have termed "enemy nationals". In January 2012, the Supreme Court of Israel upheld the validity of the law.[3]"

After Attacks, Is Europe Still Safe For Jews? : NPR
My reaction to this is that I am an Episcopalian and have never felt threatened by anyone because of my beliefs. Do I flaunt my religion? No, but I could. Do I send kids to Episcopal schools? No, but I could if we had kids. Would I? I'd like to think no. Whether it be Judaism, Islam, Episcopalians or any other group, I think those who choose to live differently, and act differently must accept the fact that others may not like what they do. I would defend to the death the right of someone to walk around with a propeller spinning on their head if that's what they want to do, but I would tell my client that she/he is asking for it when they do this. We cannot change how people react to "different" and Jews and all others have to get over thinking they are somehow special and different. Let them all go live wherever they are most comfortable acting, dressing, etc. as they choose. Don't expect the rest of the world always to understand or accept this.

Palestinians Ask: The Two-State Solution Or The Two-State Illusion? : Parallels : NPR
I think we all should push them toward the one-state solution - a "rainbow" country showing the world how diverse people can live and work together! Frankly, I do not see why the Jews should have their own country; it simply does not seem to be important.
