Is this NOT Racism?
As the car crawls through the nearly empty streets, the men peer out at couples. They say they are experts at spotting those that don’t “match”.
“Stop, right there. Stop the car. Is he an Arab? That dark guy . . . If they are both Jewish, keep the car moving!” yells out ‘David’, a 31-year-old Jewish settler who does not use his real name.
For more than a decade, David has considered it his unofficial job to patrol the streets looking for mixed Arab-Jewish couples. “We are protecting the Jewish people, our traditions, our heritage. Some people just get mixed up. We talk to them, explain why it’s important for Jews to be with Jews,” he said.

If this were taking place in the US deep South, and someone was trying to stop people from dating each other on the basis of their ethnicity or religion, we'd call this for what it truly is; ugly, naked racism of the highest order.
But of course, one cannot say that of Israelis doing precisely the same thing, for fear of being labeled "anti-Semitic".

I see
the Jew haters are back. Is it not getting old to circumvent freedom to those you don't see fit. No liberty in your mind.
I would just like to say
I would just like to say something on behalf of about 100 million americans who are not in a rush to get the latest edition of the engsoc dictionary and are sick and tired of people who are scared of thier own shadow when it comes to racism...yaaaawn.

Catholics are the same way...
They've probably become more lenient these days, but Catholics are strongly encouraged to marry Catholics. If not, they should get express permission from their bishop. And then the non-Cat is pressured to convert. If the spouse is not baptized, they marriage is not recognized.
Is this any different? Are Jews & Arabs even different races, or are they just different religions?
BTW, one should have the right to be racist...

I encountered
this in the Lutheran religion, too. I think it was stronger among the Catholics, but Lutherans also tended to frown upon their members marrying Catholics. Marrying those from other Protestant religions, however, really wasn't an issue.
Yes, because of course...
those other religions are not recognized in God's eyes, so it's OK for them to mix it up....
Hope you know those aren't MY ideas...

It's called the race card.
It's the card to play when there is nothing else. Still trying to divide and conquor. The majority have moved on. Very lame.
