| | Rights of the Jewish People to a Sovereign State in their Historic Homeland - Dore Gold and Jeff Helmreich |
 | | And once a citizen, he or she enjoys all the rights and privileges granted by Israel's laws and government to the majority of its people, based on a principle of equality now enshrined in the basic law of the country and the fabric of its political culture. | | | Whether the new assault on Israel is a byproduct of the radical secularization of certain intellectual circles who have no understanding of Jewish history, or whether it emanates from a more insidious anti-Semitism that has been re-born, its handmaiden is the general ignorance that is rampant about Israel's unique roots. | | | Israel's new detractors doubt the legitimacy of Jewish statehood, though they say nothing about the validity of dozens of new states that have emerged in the last half century, many of which lack any firmly rooted national identity. |

| | Israel's "basic laws," along with its military forces, are the most effective instruments for implementing the state's ideology, which is to exclude legally and physically the indigenous population from the land of historic Palestine to make way for settlers with "Jewish nationality. | | | Israel is perhaps more scrutinized today than even in those heady days of the 1970s. | | | The questions surrounding Israel's state ideology and policies are of no lesser consequence. |

| | Basic Laws - Introduction |
| | After all the basic laws will be enacted, they will constitute together, with an appropriate introduction and several general rulings, the constitution of the State of Israel. | | | Others claim that the superiority of basic laws stems from the fact that they are the product of the Knesset acting as the Constituent Assembly, and that from their mere definition as "basic laws" one may conclude that they are constitutionally superior. | | | Following the adoption of the Harari proposal in 1950, work began on the legislation of the basic laws, the first of which - the Basic Law: the Knesset, which was initiated by the Constitution, Law and Justice Committee - was adopted by the third Knesset. |

They are called Basic Laws as Israel lacks a constitution. | | | In some perspectives, their rights within Israel proper today are more limited than in the territories conquered in 1967.This is due to the way the state of Israel is set up. | | | The Israeli ID-card has a clause marking the 'nationality' of the holder [2]. |

| | Basic Laws defining Israel's legislative, executive and judicial branches of government, human rights, the state's economy and lands, civil-military relations, and the status of Jerusalem, have been enacted in this way since the early 1950s. | | | Israel doesn't have a constitution in a single document, but it does have one in the form of laws and court decisions that lay down the foundations of government and the rights of individual citizens. | | | Israel has to consider drastic changes including tax reduction, deregulation, privatization, infrastructure investment, reduction of state subsidies, reduction of welfare, and adoption of incentives for direct investment from outside Israel. |

| | It appears that the reasoning of Justice Barak, to the effect that the Knesset has a dual competency as a constituent authority (in adopting Basic Laws) and as a legislative authority (in enacting laws)--prevails, as some of the other judges acceded to it. | | | The term “basic rule of public law in Israel” is used by Justice Barak to describe the constitutional interpretive presumption under consideration here. | | | It should be noted that Justice Barak leaves “open” the question of whether it is possible to “infringe” (as distinct from “amend”) the provisions of a Basic Law by means of a regular law. |

| | This law was the basis for court disqualification of the extremist right wing Kach party in 1988, whose manifesto advocated forceful transfer of the Arab population out of Israel, abolition of democracy and establishment of a religious theocracy. | | | Laws passed by the Knesset may not conflict with the basic laws, which make up the de facto constitution of the country, but the Knesset also has the power to pass additional basic laws. | | | Thereafter it has always included elected representatives among the Arab minority in Israel although in disproportionately small numbers (Arabs comprise about 20% of the population). |
