Now let's have a closer look at the situation. This is a racist law that is masquerading as an "equitable" case. Anyone familiar with history of race relations in the US will recognize it as a punishment for passing.

Passing was the practice of light-skinned persons with at least some African-American heritage moving in white society and concealing their African lineage. The peculiar American racial definition made persons African-American if they had virtually any African ancestry at all (the one drop rule).

The Woman She is a drug addicted prostitute who so far has claimed to be raped 14 times and brought cases against many men. Most of the times she has managed to get a favorable settlement but has been caught lying sometimes in the court. This in itself, i.e. being a "serial rape victim" raises questions whether or not she intentionally creates situation through which she can claim rape later on.

The Man The man has never had a conviction and is a father of two. The man never said that he was Jewish. He used his nickname "Dudu" which also happens to be an Israeli nickname for "David". I am willing to accept that he had some intent of deception by leaving out a full declaration, but that is not the same thing as say playing an elaborate ruse as a millionaire and marrying a woman.

The Judge One of the three judges is Moshe Drori, who was embroiled in a scandal last year, when he refused to convict a very well connected yeshiva boy who admitted – and was filmed – running over a security guard with his vehicle. The security guard was an Ethiopian woman. Drori, a Jewish Orthodox, forced the guard to accept the apology of the yeshiva boy, and then invoked a judgment by 12th century scholar Maimonides (I shit you not), which says once an apology is accepted by the victim, the case is closed. And he closed the case. He is apparently a Maimonidas affectionado. The case was overturned in the Supreme Court, and this schtick cost Drori his chance at becoming a Supreme Court justice.

The Sentence In another "rape by deception" case, which involved a lesbian masquerading as a man in order to have sex with women, she received only six months of suspended sentence. I don't know about you, but I'd say that being deceived into a homosexual affair is far worse than being deceived into a heterosexual one. So whereas the lesbian got only 6 months in jail, the Arab man got 2 years of house arrest plus another 18 months of prison time!

A judicial system should at least pretend to be impartial by using the same measuring stick, even when the law is questionable to begin with. So in conclusion, let’s say that a non-Jew not advertising his being Arab won’t stand much of a chance in the court.

One has to twist his mind really hard and close his eyes very tightly to not see how this whole episode reeks of institutionalized racism.

...so yes, Israel remains a racist apartheid state unworthy of American support.
