Today marks the 71st anniversary of the Israeli Knesset's inactment of the Law of return which gives the Jews the right to come and live in Israel to gain Israeli citizenship. 

To ensure the success of its project aiming to establish a new state in Palestine and to replace the origianal Palestinian citizens by Israeli settlers, the Zionist movement tended to legalize a series of racist decisions throughtout the Knesset, most notably the Law of Return in 1950. 

The Israeli Knesset approved the law on 5 July 1950, and took effect until nowadays. It was amended twice: in August 1954 and in March 1970. 

In 1970, it was amended to include the Jewish people, and to deprive the Palestinians from their right to return to their homelands. 

The law applied to those who were born Jews (the sons and grandchildren of Jewish mothers), those having Jewish ancestry (the sons and grandsons of Jewish fathers) and adherents of Judaism. 

The Law of Return, represented in the so-called Israel's Declration of Independence, gave the legal basis for one of the goals of Judaizm movement; to solve the issue of the "Jewish people" throughout establishing a state for them called Israel over the land of Palestine. 

The reasons behind the enactment of this law were repesnted in the desire to increase the rates of the Jewish migration and to reduce the demographic danger imposed by the Palestinian exitence.
