Israel’s ruling party is proposing a new bill for Jewish-only communities that would allow for Jewish religious law to be implemented in certain areas and remove Arabic as the official language.

 

Thousands of Israelis took to the streets of Tel Aviv on Saturday in protest with critics arguing the clause is an effort to legalize housing discrimination.

 

Israel Democracy Institute, Amir Fuchs said the problem of the bill is to change the balance more into a Jewish state and less of a democracy.
