From Haaretz, a truly remarkable story wherein a major national political figure… is honest. (“Justice Minister: Israel Must Keep Jewish Majority Even at the Expense of Human Rights”):
Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked said Monday that if not for the fence erected some years ago on the Egyptian border, “We would be seeing here a kind of creeping conquest from Africa.” The fence effectively stopped asylum-seekers from Sudan and Eritrea from entering the country.
In a speech to the Congress on Judaism and Democracy, Shaked also said, “I think that ‘Judaizing the Galilee’ is not an offensive term. We used to talk like that. In recent years we’ve stopped talking like that. I think it’s legitimate without violating the full rights of the Arab residents of Israel.”
The justice minister made the remarks in a wide-ranging speech on the controversy over the Jewish nation-state bill.
She further said, “There is place to maintain a Jewish majority even at the price of violation of rights.”…
… Shaked told the conference that “the state should say that there is place to maintain the Jewish majority even if it violates rights.”
