The quote includes the link to the ruling, but of course you won't know it's a judgment if you do not read it, not even the introduction.
Firstly, no, the state did not reaffirm anything in 2007, the bill you mention was defeated and was never made law (because, yes, it was a change to already existing law).
Secondly, the case was rather long because 1) it had to go through lower courts before reaching the Supreme Court and 2) because it was a conflict that did not involve only the Ka'adan family and the State but several others including representatives from Katzir.
They weren't targeted and a bomb that could fulfill the requirement of distinction was used.
It's not even clear the houses were theirs to begin with, but in any event the total Arab population of Area C was not and has not been significantly reduced by the demolition of these allegedly illegal buildings (and indeed, often the same families just return and build them again, just to get them demolished once again and the cycle repeats itself).
This is as absurd as stating that there was ethnic cleansing, when the Spanish government demolished some houses inhabited by Romanis a few years ago in Puerta del Hierro we discussed elsewhere. I bet you'd laugh at people claiming this was ethnic cleansing and rightly so.
And of course, you also choose to ignore instances of much, much worse treatment of civilians (including expulsions) when some of your favorite ethnic groups are involved, e.g. Serbs.

The State decided in 2007 to eventually allow these 2 people to build their house, in the same year the state reaffirmed the JNF discrimination laws. And you are trying to convince me and yourself that this state is not discriminatory?
After all it only took them 12 years to be allowed to rent something.
