Here are two:

Population Registry Law (1965)

Requires all residents of Israel to register their nationality with the Population Registry and obtain an identity card carrying this information.


Hmm....so all citizens (Jews, Druze, Arabs) are required to do this, and this is discriminatory......how?


Flag and Emblem Law
Theme:National Identity Symbols
Status:Active
Year:1949
Description:
Adopts the flag of the First Zionist Congress and the Zionist Movement, a combination of a prayer shawl and the Shield of David, as the official flag of Israel. The emblem of the State of Israel is a candelabrum, one of the symbols of the Temple era in Jewish history. The law was amended in 1997 to include Article 2A(a), which requires all public buildings to raise the flag of Israel.


There's nothing discriminatory about this. UK, Scandinavian, Greek, and Australian flags all have Christian crosses.
