What do you think of Israel declaring the country as a "Jewish national state"?

And the retraction of Arabic as its second official language?

I'm personally not a fan of any religion getting involved in political matters, so I don't quite agree with that decision.

I'm not sure how many people there speak both Hebrew and Arabic, so I'd say if the majority does, the decision was unjustified, if it not, I kinda have to agree on it.
I also don't understand the outrage of politicians of Arabic descent calling the new law "racist" considering languages aren't directly and necessarily connected to a person's race/ethnicity (e.g. not all Middle Easterners speak Arabic, not all Eastern Asians speak Chinese, etc.).

I would hope the U.S. grows a pair and stops supporting and defending that nonsense. A group of people who are massacring and genocidally erasing a group of people and NOT letting them properly flee the country after they themselves quite literally taken in centuries ago is astonishing. Such inhumane and evil should not be tolerated in the world and is a clear sign that the world is still willing to turn a blind eye to fellow humans in need all thanks to what? Religion?

@SW-User The U.S. likes sponsoring terrorists as long as they do what the U.S. wants.

@Gumba1000 I know Israel is the foot in the door in the middle east for the U.S., but this kind of toleration is deep. It explains a lot of the happenings

@SW-User well said.

@SW-User The Jews are supported because their existence in that region keeps the Islamic states unbalanced. It provides a military F.O.B. for the US and UK when required.

@Gumba1000 of course. We always need a foot in the door to be able to attack people across the world 😂
With NOTHING they can do to the U.S.

@SW-User You can't have a hegemony without the barrel of a gun pointed at your head.

@Gumba1000 well that's sickeningly barbaric. Why not just be peaceful and support one another?

@SW-User Because humans aren't designed that way.
