Israeli Knesset Approves Biometric Database Law

Posted by timothy on from the and-who-will-you-be-visiting? dept.

Lord Duran writes "The Israeli Knesset approved a bill that will require every Israeli citizen to submit a visual scan of their face and a biometric scan of their fingerprints to a national database. I, for one, fail to see how this is anything but evil. TFA mentions the Israeli census was breached — I'd like to point out, for comparison, that it's still freely available on your peer-to-peer file sharing network of choice."

    "You can blame the Jews for persecuting the Palestinians, but you can't say that everything they do is evil."

    Your bias is showing through. You are identifying one group by religion and one by nationality. It should either be:

    "You can blame the Israelis for persecuting the Palestinians".

    Or

    "You can blame the Jews for persecuting the Muslims"
