Jewish organizations weighed in on the Jewish Nation-State bill approved by Israel’s cabinet last week, including The Abraham Fund Initiatives, Ameinu, New Israel Fund and others.
The Abraham Fund Initiatives stated in their press release on Monday that, “the [Jewish nation-state] law implicitly suggests the effective abandonment by the State of the vision of a Jewish and democratic State: a State that is the national home of the Jewish people and is also the full and complete home of its Arab citizens.”
In his recent Op-Ed in the Times of Israel, Daniel Sokatch, CEO of the New Israel Fund, states that “even the most liberal version of the Jewish nation-state bill could be interpreted by the courts as conferring special privilege on Jewish citizens and thereby establishing a legal, two-tier set of rights.”
Gideon Aronoff, CEO of Ameinu, stated in the press release, that the “proposed bill undermines the principles upon which Israel founded”, citing Israel’s Declaration of Independence that proclaims to “ensure complete equality of social and political rights to all [of Israel’s] inhabitants.”
