Israel's parliament has passed a controversial law characterising the country as principally a Jewish state, fuelling anger among its Arab minority.
The "nation state" law says Jews have a unique right to national self-determination there and puts Hebrew above Arabic as the official language.
Arab MPs reacted furiously in parliament, with one waving a black flag and others ripping up the bill.

Israeli writer and activist Uri Avnery has died aged 94. Said to be the first Israeli to meet Arafat.
Here's a piece of his from earlier this year on the massacre at the Gaza fence https://www.counterpunch.org/2018/04...ess-in-gaza-4/
By way of obituary here's his Wikipedia page https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uri_Avnery?wprov=sfla1
