The law applies to the Israeli not the PA Arab. > no denying Israel is a colonial occupier of Palestinian territories. You are seriously messed up. How can a native to the land also be a colonizer?

By doing the actions colonizers do to other people native to the land. Imposing their national law on those explicitly not subject to it is pretty clear cut, without even considering the other Palestinians they exempt from clear cut designation under their law.

  > they plan to apply the law to Palestinians under the PA authority. Only in your twisted imagination. First that's not what the article says, and second they can't even do that if they wanted to.

Are C which is under Israel control is less than 5% of the population.
