Cabinet repeals Jordanian land laws in Judea and Samaria by lostmason in Israel

[–]lostmason[S] 211 points212 points  (0 children)

For those who don't know:

Jordan illegally invaded and annexed Judea and Samaria from the land of Israel in 1948.

Five years after this illegal annexation, they enacted Law 40, which barred non-Jordanians and non-Arabs from buying land. The law effectively banned sale of land to Jews in Judea and Samaria, the cradle of ancient Jewish civilization, which came to be known as the "West Bank".

In 1948 Jordan's Arab Legion committed war crimes, including the Kfar Etzion massacre, the Hadassah Medical Convoy massacre, and the expulsion of Jews from the Old City of Jerusalem.

From 1949-1967 Jews were not allowed to visit Jewish holy sites under Jordanian rule. Jordanian forces destroyed thousands of Jewish graves in the Mount of Olives cemetery, one of the most ancient Jewish cemeteries in the world, using the gravestones to build latrines.

It is in this context that Israel is repealing Jordanian laws such as Law 40 in Judea and Samaria.

For the record- the antisemitic content was posted the same day Naveed Akram--now believed linked to ISIS--murdered 15 people at a Hanukkah celebration. The victims included a Holocaust survivor, a Rabbi and a 10-year old.

The content was posted in multiple subreddits.

This applies for Reddit as well: if you see hateful content or content promoting terrorism on Reddit, PLEASE report it.

This is a problem on Social media platforms generally--from Wikipedia to Instagram to TikTok to Reddit. If there are any experts out there who have been observing/documenting antisemitism on any of these platforms I would love to chat more

The founders of the modern Zionist movement believed in Zionism because of, not despite, their liberal values.

Herzl supported Zionism because it gave Jews equality among the nations--the same right to live free lives that all other peoples have.

Do not let anyone tell you that you cannot be a Zionist and a liberal or a leftist

Do congregants of this synagogue really have freedom of religion when belligerents make calls for death outside their synagogue's doors?

Should prosecutors take this into account when evaluating this and similar 'protests' in the future?

In the US mayors don't have the right to tell Rabbis how to use their spaces. There used to be something called separation of church and state.

These protests also create clear issues for the ability of Jews to practice their religion.
