Israel passes law denying naturalization to Palestinian spouses
This is how the Middle East works by the way. Interreligious marriages are a very big deal and banned in every single Middle Eastern country.<p>The good countries will refuse to issue a marriage license to you, the bad countries will send the police to watch as a mob lynches you.<p>If you see Israel as some kind of psuedo-western state, then yea, you should be shocked. But as a Middle Eastern country, this is just another Thursday. Personally, I don't see Israel any different than I see Turkey, Egypt, or Jordan.(Allies that get lots of money from the US with questionable behavior)<p>edit: I think is wrong by the way, so not justifying. This is just how things work in the Middle East - where nations do terrible things in the name of preserving their "religious" identity.<p>edit x2: Sources:
