Unnecessary and Provocative: Israel's Nation-State Law
Transcribed from the clipping
It is highly regrettable that the the Israeli Parliament approved a controversial Nation-State Law, which enshrines in the nation's Basic Law its already-existing Jewish and Zionistic features.
How this transcription was made
Date and publication rest on the collector's slide label; no masthead, folio or printed dateline appears on this clipping. Legibility fair; any passage that could not be read is omitted rather than reconstructed.
Context added by this archive
2018 GROUP. Headline phrase for the law: 'Israel's Nation-State Law' - the only headline in the batch that names the law outright, capitalised, and passes judgment on it ('Unnecessary and Provocative'). 'Jewish nation-state' does not appear in the headline. WHO LOSES: the headline names no one.
ARABIC DEMOTION: the opening paragraph does not mention it; whether the body does could not be established at this scan quality and is flagged rather than asserted. Note the odd coinage 'Zionistic features', set as printed.
