Detroit Jews ask: Are settlement boycotts the same as BDS?

49. I think that it would be more inclusive to include official references to Israel's Arab heritage and

population.

Mandating the exclusive use of Jewish references implies that Israeli Arabs aren't supposed to have a voice or be noticed.

Just a few days ago, Israel’s 68th Independence Day festivities showed a chilling example of this exclusionary imagery, when soldiers formed the words "One People, one Nation". According to Miri Regev, Minister of Culture: “The phrase ‘one people, one nation’ is an expression of the just aspiration of the Zionist movement since its inception: to establish a Jewish state.” (http://www.haaretz.com/opinion/.premium-1.719538) I beg to differ - that's a fascist slogan.

There's a music group called Laibach that has explored monumentalist art, and I think their interpretation in this video clip is pretty close to what Miri Regev meant:

BTW, I support mandatory draft for all citizens - that's how things are supposed to be done. If I was Israeli, I would of course not hesitate to serve in the IDF. It's a duty that can't be shirked.
