Welcome to apartheid Israel

I suppose this could have all been avoided had this women and her husband got the right permit. I’m sure it has nothing to do with the husband being an Arab.

Six months pregnant and exhausted, British mother Jessica Barhoum is still shocked that Israeli authorities ordered her, her husband and their baby out of bed at daybreak and pulverized their home. “I can’t believe that it’s lawful, that this law exists. I’m from England. Do you know what I mean?” asked Jessica, 32, who grew up in the southern city of Salisbury but moved to Israel after marrying Moussa, her Arab Israeli husband. “You can’t believe a country like this would make a law against its own citizens,” she added.

Perhaps this couple can take comfort in the knowledge that Israel treats Jews of Ethiopian descent with little more regard.
