In 2008, #Israeli_law was amended to allow the interior minister to revoke citizenship based on loyalty. The first incident was in 2017 when an Israeli court approved revoking the citizenship of a Palestinian citizen of #Israel on the basis of loyalty.

The decision was rejected by the Israeli high court but for procedural reasons, not substantive.
Lately, French-Palestinian rights lawyer Salah Hamouri was deported from Jerusalem to France on that basis.Why would a Palestinian be obliged to be loyal to the Occupying Power!?

The bill contravenes IL and, inter alia, #ICERD which aims to reduce statelessness. ICERD guarantees the right to nationality without distinction & the right to equality before the law. In practice, this law is designed against Pals solely; whether in Israel or in the OPT.

When the Jewish Israeli citizen Yigal Amir was facing revoking citizenship after killing former Israeli PM Yitzhak Rabin in 1995, he simply was not. The Court rejected the request, ruling that there was no reason to revoke Amir’s citizenship citing his right to citizenship.

This bill is the very manifestation of apartheid. It is discriminatory and selective against the Palestinian citizens of Israel. Linking Palestinian citizens of Israel with OPT cannot be seen outside the framework of apartheid. It is a combination of colonialism& apartheid.

Finally, it is now fair to ask: would Israel threaten to deport any of its citizens of Ethiopian or Russian origins to Ethiopia or Russia!? This only applies to Palestinians.
