Clauses that were dropped in last-minute political wrangling – and after objections by Israel’s president and attorney general – would have enshrined in law the establishment of Jewish-only communities, and instructed courts to rule according to Jewish ritual law when there were no relevant legal precedents.
Apartheid-y theocracy. Just like their neighbours!

I was thinking about this earlier, my assumption is that Trump and the GOP give Israel unwavering support because the Israeli's have almost completed the establishment of a modern, internationally accepted, un-censured, Apartheid state.
This is, has to be, the model that the Republicans want the US to follow, as white Americans will be a minority group from 2027 - so to ensure that white minority rule continues they'll need to disenfranchise those who are not white (and likely also male landowners).
Dammit
"the realization of the right to national self-determination in Israel is unique to the Jewish people"
as reticent as i am to use the word 'Apartheid' to describe anything other than actual 'Apartheid' - this is starting to look pretty 'Apartheid'-ey.
