RaCISm aND THe Law After 1966, military rule was lifted from Palestinians living in Israel; however it was replaced by a barrage of Jim Crow-like laws aimed at maintaining the demographic and material hegemony of the Jewish population. Each year, the Knesset proposes and introduces new discriminatory bills that violate the rights of its Arab citizens based on nationality such as those that would link the right to vote to and receive state allowances to national service. 12 such laws have been passed since 2008 alone. Among the most devastating have been the 1950 Law of Return and Absentee Property Law. The Law of Return prohibits all Palestinians expelled from the land that became Israel in 1948 from ever returning to their native homes, whether to live or visit, while unconditionally granting citizenship to all Jews immigrating to the state. Numerous laws relating to land have allowed for the expropriation of 80% of the land under current Israeli control from Palestinians and its transfer to Jewish ownership. Racist marriage laws prohibit Palestinians from the Occupied Territories from living with their spouses in Israel while a temporary law bans marriage between Jews and Palestinians from the Occupied Territories. En vogue of late are laws pertaining to the blatantly racist character of Israel as a Jewish state.
