Jewish nation state: Israel approves controversial bill - BBC News: The "nation state" law says Jews have a unique right to national self-determination there and puts Hebrew above Arabic as the official language.
Arab MPs reacted furiously in parliament, with one waving a black flag and others ripping up the bill.
Israel's prime minister praised the bill's passage as a "defining moment".
"A hundred and twenty-two years after [the founder of modern Zionism Theodore] Herzl made his vision known, with this law we determined the founding principle of our existence," Benjamin Netanyahu said.
"Israel is the nation state of the Jewish people, and respects the rights of all of its citizens."
However, the law risks further alienating Israel's large Arab minority, who have long felt discriminated against.
