The discriminatory laws that do not discriminate
http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/The-discriminatory-laws-that-do-not-discriminate-463677

Adalah works tirelessly to end the state of Israel, taking away the right of self-determination of the Jewish people & their country's sovereignty in favor of 2 states; One that is Jew free in Gaza and the W.Bank, and the other within the green line a binational state (at best) with an Arab majority after the return of millions of Palestinians.

Adalah are the real racists who don't believe Jews have rights.

Meanwhile this new regulation seeks to avoid frivolous lawsuits, requiring a deposit in advance for court fees should the plaintiff lose & be responsible for steep court costs. Hardly discriminatory. In fact, this is an old story Adalah hashed up from 5 years ago, passing it off as something new:
