Laws and ministerial decrees against Palestinians are being passed at top speed. As in any apartheid system it is absolutely official that there is one set of laws for them and another for Israelis. But now, such measures are also being extended to Israeli Jews. Men and women who oppose the massacres and the war can be accused of treason. In the firing-line are journalists and newspapers like Haaretz, movie directors, heads of NGOs, militant pacifists and others.
