12. I thought I had managed to explain to you on what grounds those two laws were considered racist.

By enforcing a rule that stipulates that symbols and expressions other than Jewish may not be used in any government correspondence, it discriminates against any non-Jews who would wish to express their participation in Israeli affairs by using non-Jewish symbols and expressions.

The other law about having to carry identification at all times is only used against Arab citizens. So it's not discriminatory unless you're an Israeli Arab citizen, if you know what I mean...

Anyway, the rest of it is here:

If you think that there are no discriminatory laws in Israel, what about the "Ban on Family Unification" - Citizenship and Entry into Israel Law (Temporary Order) from 2003? It creates extreme hardship for many couples (non-Jewish, of course) living in Israel and also denies citizenship to some people born in Israel with one Israeli (non-Jewish) parent. Please do your magic on that one if you can...
