Good news out of Israel where judicial activists the High Court overturned the legislation barring Arab political parties from competing in the upcoming elections. Enlightened stuff. It's important for the survival of Israel that it be seen as a Jewish state rather than a discriminatory state. It's a fine line to walk, but so long as demographic trends don't bring the two into direct conflict -- right now, Arab parties pose no threat of actually taking power -- it's a very bad idea for Israel to willingly cede it claims to being a pluralistic, Western democracy.
