But what is the DIFFERENCE between the two, other than the name? Please enlighten me, I cannot find any meaningful information on this. Also: this kind of discrimination - if there is any - is targeting Arabic and Non-Arabic Israelis in the exact same way. So I don’t fully understand why you pointed this out as an Act of discrimination against Arabs.

And some people (an atheist marrying a religious person, for example) can't get one at all within Israel. "In 2010, Israel passed the Civil Union Law for Citizens with no Religious Affiliation, 2010, allowing a couple to form a civil union in Israel if they are both registered as officially not belonging to any religion." > Also: this kind of discrimination - if there is any - is targeting Arabic and Non-Arabic Israelis in the exact same way. "It's fine, we discriminate against other minorities!" is not the argument you imagine it to be.

  > For starters, you have to go abroad for one. You're barely able to read, are you? Otherwise, you wouldn't have linked the article about the recognition of "marriages performed outside Israel", but even though this article is about marriages performed OUTSIDE Israel, it contains the clear notion that "In 2010, Israel passed the Civil Union Law for Citizens with no Religious Affiliation, 2010, allowing a couple to form a civil union IN ISRAEL" - still, I agree that the status quo is not good enough. They should do better.
