Does Israel’s new nation-state law verge on apartheid?

Palestinians living in Israel have long complained of discrimination against them. But now it appears it could be state-sanctioned.

Palestinians and other Arab Knesset members immediately condemned the bill, accusing the right wing government of promoting racist policies.
