Religion functions as the enabling power behind a preferential legal system

Evidence

The religio-nationalist imaginations that govern the Zionist state, its racialized ethnocratic nature apparent and applied by its laws (ACRI 2012; Bollens 2000; Braverman 2007; Halper 2015; Y. Jabareen 2017; H. Jabareen and Zaher 2012; Jefferis 2012), suggest that religion and religious affiliations are not only the base of all governing laws but are the powers enabling the Israeli legal system to maintain a preferential discriminatory system. — Nadim N. Rouhana and Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian, When Politics Are Sacralized, 1014
