Gal Gadot hits out at Netanyahu over ‘Jewish people’ comment

…”Israel is not a state for all its citizens. According to the nation-state law that we passed, Israel is the state of the Jewish people — and belongs to them alone,” Netanyahu wrote.

…”Love thy neighbor,” the Israeli actress said Sunday on Instagram, where she has 28.3 million followers.

“It is not a matter of right or left, Arabs or Jews, secular or religious,” she added. “It is a matter of dialogue, of dialogue for peace, and of our tolerance for each other. It is our responsibility to shine hope and light for a better future for our children.”

…On Monday, Israeli President Reuven Rivlin weighed in on the issue, condemning recent “unacceptable discourse” about Arab citizens of Israel.

“There will be no second-class citizens and second-class voters,” he said during a speech. “All of us will all be equal, all of us, Jews and Arabs, all citizens of Israel.”

…Israel’s approval of a “nation-state” law, which declares that only Jews have the right of self-determination in the country and downgrades Arabic as an official language, dismayed the country’s minorities last year.

…The [Arab Israeli] minority makes up around 20 percent of the country’s population.
