<p style="font-size:10pt;">NAZARETH, (PIC)&#8211; The Israeli Knesset  will vote Sunday on a racist bill outlawing Palestinians from residing  in 1948-occupied Palestinian territories with a majorly Jewish  population.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Sources in Israel said the bill is set to  grant local committees the power to select the families permitted to  reside in Israeli towns.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The draft sparked controversy among  Israelis some of whom said it discriminates against Palestinians in  Israel, as it allows for the committees to reject residency of Arab  families and other residential segments in the territory.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Israeli officials and academics signed a  petition demanding that the Knesset refrains from ratifying the proposed  bill, arguing that it affects the historic and moral foundation of the  country, will be a dark stain on Israel, lead to racial discrimination,  and can be used by anti-Semitic parties to legitimize discrimination  against Jews in the world.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Israel Our Home party member David Rotem  said the law’s objective is to empower Israeli towns to identify  themselves as Zionists and prevent non-Jews from residing in them.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The petition said the bill allows for an  official and technical cover by using the excuse of lack of  compatibility with the social fabric to continue discrimination against  other Israeli groups against the backdrop of race, economic status,  gender, and personal status.</p>
