The newly passed โBasic Law: Israel as the Nation-State of the Jewish People,โ known as the Nationality Bill, does nothing to damage the equality of Israelโs non-Jewish citizens. That is because it addresses the stateโs national identity, not the civil rights of its citizens. Introducing the issue of civil liberties to the nationality law, where it does not belong, would effectively imply recognition of Israel as a binational state.
