ISRAEL: Short memories in the Knesset?

John Heelan writes: "Israel's Parliament has passed a law preventing Palestinians who marry Israelis from living in Israel"
... Now Israeli Arabs who marry Palestinians from the West Bank or Gaza Strip will either have to move to the occupied territories of live apart from their husband or wife.

Their children will be affected too: from the age of 12 they will be denied citizenship or residency and forced to move out of Israel" (source: The Independent (8/1/03).

Now where was a similar racist principle used before?: oh yes, in Hitler's Germany in the 1930s! Is this a dangerous step on the slippery path to a new Kristallnacht and Auschwitz? How would the American public react if the same principle were to be applied to Saudis marrying Americans?"
