Israeli Nationalism

The Israeli Knesset has passed a Nation-State Law declaring the obvious: Israel is the Jewish State. The law recognizes Jewish holidays, declares Jerusalem is the capitol, and makes the Hebrew calendar the state calendar.

American Jewish groups are protesting of course:

The Anti-Defamation League on Thursday added its voice to a growing chorus of disapproval over Israel’s controversial Jewish nation-state law, saying the new legislation raises concerns about Israel’s commitment to its democratic nature, and calling for the law not to be used to discriminate against minorities.

“We are troubled by the fact that the law, which celebrates the fundamental Jewish nature of the state, raises significant questions about the government’s long-term commitment to its pluralistic identity and democratic nature,” said Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO, and Carole Nuriel, Israel director of the watchdog group, in a statement.

Israel has absolutely no responsibility whatsoever to be 'pluralistic'. Israel has a responsibility to be Jewish. About 20% of Israel is Arab Muslim or Christian, with a smattering of Druze.

The ADL and other leftwing Jewish groups have elevated the values of 'diversity' and such above Judaism and Israeli nationalism.

So we see the uselessness of American Jewish organizations like the ADL.
