Nation-State law derangement is even worse in the Arab world

As crazy and inaccurate as the reporting on Israel's Basic Law calling Israel the Nation State of the Jewish people has been, it is nothing compared to the Arab coverage of that law.

The most unhinged analysis I've seen yet comes from Salah Aldawoody in Arab Youm, where he claims that the Basic Law gives Israel the right to declare Jordan and Tunisia to be Jewish states, since there is some Jewish history in those states. In fact, it allows Israel to spread from Morocco to Saudi Arabia!

It gives legal weight to forcing Arab countries to normalize relations with Israel, somehow. Aldawoody quotes some Tunisian laws from the past few years and seems to claim that these laws are related to Israel's Basic Law and forces "normalization" and forces people to love Israelis against their will, or something like that.

It fosters "the tendencies and collusion of colonial elites used by international banks as conditions for the acceptance of guardianship of subordination of students and bondage. " I don't know what that means but it sounds pretty bad.

This is complete insanity- and it is published as normal, sober analysis in Arab media.
