This article is about the right of return in Israel. For similar laws in other countries, see Right of return.
The Law of Return (Hebrew: חוק השבות, ḥok ha-shvūt) is an Israeli law, passed on 5 July 1950, which gives Jews, people with one or more Jewish grandparent, and their spouses the right to relocate to Israel and acquire Israeli citizenship.[1] Section 1 of the Law of Return declares that "every Jew has the right to come to this country as an oleh [immigrant]". In the Law of Return, the State of Israel gave effect to the Zionist movement's "credo" which called for the establishment of Israel as a Jewish state. In 1970, the right of entry and settlement was extended to people with at least one Jewish grandparent and a person who is married to a Jew, whether or not they are considered Jewish under Orthodox interpretations of Jewish law.[2]
It's a misnomer. It grants the right to migrate to Israel for people who have never lived there, whose parents have never lived there. whose g-parents have never lived there, whose g-g-parents have never lived there. In fact it grants the right to migrate to Israel for people have no direct connection with anyone who has ever lived in Israel.
At the same time it evicts the current residents from their homes, and community, killing them if they refuse, and forcing them to relocate hudreds of miles away in refugee camps.
I thought Israel was the only democracy in the middle east.

It's mot based on one person - one vote. Inequality is built into the constitution.
Since nobody has given much of a care for the war in Yemen i'll post this explainer from The Guardian in here as it is related to the war in Gaza.
Shortly after the start of the Gaza war the Houthis began launching missile and drone attacks at vessels in the Red Sea, most of which were intercepted by US and Israeli countermeasures. The situation escalated on 19 November, when militants used a helicopter to seize a car carrier chartered by a Japanese company and linked to an Israeli businessman, abducted the crew. The Houthis said all vessels they perceived as linked to Israel or its allies would “become a legitimate target for armed forces”.
On 18 December the US announced the formation of Operation Prosperity Guardian in response to the Houthi attacks. The US refrained from direct confrontation until 31 December, when US Navy helicopters fired on a group of small boats attempting to board a container ship that had requested their protection. The deaths of 10 militants marked a new phase in the crisis. On 9 January US and British warships shot down 21 drones and missiles fired by the Houthis, in what London called the largest such attack in the area. On 10 January, Antony Blinken, the US secretary of state, said further attacks could prompt a western military response.
The natives are understandably upset about this and Saudi Arabia is very nervous about reigniting the war as it really wanted the peace proposal to work out a deal to end the conflict....but Rish! gets to be a 'war leader' in an election year and Biden can look tough to his Jewish caucus as their election cycle gets into gear on the 15th in Iowa, while being very careful to avoid dragging Iran any closer to the flames.

"Doing everything we can"
So I see.
So I see.
For years, units of young female conscripts had one job here. It was to sit in surveillance bases for hours, looking for signs of anything suspicious.
In the months leading up to the 7 October attacks by Hamas, they did begin to see things: practice raids, mock hostage-taking, and farmers behaving strangely on the other side of the fence.
Noa, not her real name, says they would pass information about what they were seeing to intelligence and higher-ranking officers, but were powerless to do more. "We were just the eyes," she says.
It was clear to some of these women that Hamas was planning something big - that there was, in Noa's words, a "balloon that was going to burst".
The BBC has now spoken to these young women about the escalation in suspicious activity they observed, the reports they filed, and what they saw as a lack of response from senior Israel Defense Forces (IDF) officers.
These women were not the only ones raising the alarm, and as more testimony is gathered, anger at the Israeli state - and questions over its response - are mounting.

So, did the Israeli intelligence ignore the warnings - or was Netanyahu complicit in allowing the attacks by Hamas to go ahead?
