AFULA, Israel - A court on Sunday ordered a predominantly Jewish town in northern Israel to lift a ban on non-resident visitors to its parks, a prohibition that a rights group said was aimed at keeping Arabs out.
“This [ban] was really to exclude Palestinian citizens from entering the park,” said Fady Khoury, a lawyer with Adalah, an Arab rights group that raised the challenge in Nazareth district court. Israel’s Arab citizens make up 21% of the population and often identify as Palestinian. They were angered last year by the passage of a “nation-state” law declaring that only Jews have the right to self-determination in Israel.
In the nearby Arab village of Sulem, Shua’a Zoabi said he often brought his children to the park in Afula.

Israel more racist than white racists. Not only tortures Arabs but also Jews from African Ethiopia! But Israel quick to brand anyone criticising it anti-Semitic. Israel favored by GOP & phony Christian Evangelicals!
Deemed racist by any *civilized* *human* standard. Most of the west seems to have lost sight of the meaning of the word 'civilization'.
Israel's education minister said he supports Israel's Apartheid, he added Palestinians shouldn't vote. Why are you silent .
