Amnesty International spent too much time and money on their "apartheid" report to let a little thing like a genuine humanitarian crisis in Ukraine distract them for too long:


The Australia Israel/Jewish Affairs Council just destroyed this argument this week. They show the history of the law was specifically to stop terror attacks, as a number of them were perpetrated by Arabs who obtained Israeli citizenship or residency through marriage or from their parents getting married. 
One of the bloodiest of these was perpetrated by Shadi Tubasi who lived in Jenin and who had acquired Israeli citizenship through his mother. In March 2002, at a busy Haifa restaurant during the Passover holiday, Tubasi blew himself up together with 16 Israelis, including children, and wounded another 40.

Tubasi’s Israeli identity card was seen as helping to enable the attack and this rapidly led to calls for the suspension of the family reunion process. The temporary Citizenship Law came a year later.

Tubasi was not the first to exploit Israeli citizenship gained through family reunification with such violent effect, nor the last.

Others have included Mohammad Abdel Jafari Nasser, who in 2012 wounded 26 Israelis in an attack on a Tel Aviv bus; Mohand al-Uqabi, son of an Israeli father and mother from Gaza, who murdered an Israeli soldier at Beersheba Central Bus Station; and Khaled Abu Jaudah, who also murdered a soldier, at a bus stop in Arad.

According to Israel’s internal security service, the Shin Bet, approximately 155 of the beneficiaries of family reunification or their immediate descendants have been involved in terror attacks in Israel since 2001.

Funny how the human rights of Jews not to be blown up by suicide bombs is not even worth mentioning by the purported "human rights group." In their report, where they discussed this law at length, where they discussed this law at length - over 7 pages.

As far as this law being "brazenly discriminatory," then surely Amnesty has written at length about how Jordanian women married to Palestinian men and their children are not citizens of Jordan either.  Some 52,000 Palestinians are married to Jordanian women, right? 

No. Instead of seven pages, Amnesty briefly discusses it for two sentences in its 2020 annual report, not mentioning that the law affects Palestinian men more than anyone else. Amnesty hasn't written a specific report about that as far as I can tell. The only citizenship laws they ever criticized on Twitter is Israel's and India's

Lebanon has a similar law, which Amnesty did write about in 2010.

Only Israel is called "apartheid" for these sorts of laws.
