It seems to me that you overlooked a primary cause of the rise of racism in 2006. Does it not occur to anyone that when you have been attacked and attacked and attacked again, especially right after the war with Hizbullah attacking Israeli's that maybe people are just fed up and don't know how to tell a good arab from a bad one? Even over here in Canada, I hate having to think, every time I meet an Arab, "Is this a terrorist or terrorist-sympathizer or a peace-desiring Arab?" No one is saying racism against Arabs is right, but it seems to me that you missed the main reason! Perhaps it takes an objective observer from Canada to point this out?

brotherly Arab state.

Enough of this israeli and jewish mania of thinking we are the wrong ones always. Arabs are a burden ,a bundle,a load,an infliction ,a disgrace to Israel.It has been so always.We have never provoqued these bastards,just the contrary,we always wanted to treat them well and incorporate them,but it is them who always stab us in the back and in the front-mostly in the back,which is more part of their character-,forcing us to separate from them. Besides ,we Jews,have the right to follow our destiny in such a tiny country,without being pushed to live with people WE CAN NOT MATCH! This reportage is just what they want,and Israel and the Media should stop falling in arab trap,once and for all.Every time the Media falls in their trap,arabs enemies give one more step up in the direction of their intents to put us out of our country. THEY MUST LEAVE OUR COUNTRY IF THEY ARE NOT HAPPY. AND IF THEY DO NOT LEAVE ,THEY SHOULD BE KICKED OUT. Israel must change its policy towards these people!URGENTLY!

Racism in your imagination My People in my heart Very Special and Inate , very near to me Hashem knew me in my mother womb. hashem loved me when I was made in the secret. he chose me an gave me life.

Racism is your Evil Not from My House of Yisarel.

ONE- It is NOT racism; it is self defense against a people who are trying to undermine the state of Israel. TWO- What about ARAB racism against Jews. They are OK with over 50 MUSLIM states and 22 ARAB states. But scream bloody murder over one TINY Jewish state. They want SEVERAL palestinian states- Jordan, "Palestine" and a NON-JEWISH Israel to demographically overwhelm so they can have all of the land from the river to the sea. THREE The leftist press should stop being so stupid in regurgitating this dangerous lie. Even pathetic Olmert believes leftist crap about the alleged demographic threat which is really a dud. He is a defeatist and must be thrown out now Or there will really be no Israel in a few years.

The blacks in the US have an income of over 800 billion dollars, yet are considered an exploited and neglected people. No country in the world treats it's minorities, and provides as many rights. Amnesty Intl and other so-called human rights groups constantly condemn the majority Americans. Yet people are flocking into this country, which now has 12m "illegals". This report misses the most salient fact, the Arabs are a threat., and many should be distrusted. As far as teenagers, perhaps they should be taught more to love their neighbor as themselves., even though this would be a one-sided attitude. Living with Arabs, well, in the US, few neighborhoods are integrated and most people prefer to live with their own kind, even though not necessarily safer. Busingis a thing of the past. As far as the army, their exemption I'm sure is preferred. Recently Israeli Arab leaders condemned any thought of Arab service to the state, Jewish or not. They don't pledge allegience to anything Jewish..but to their home country. If they don't like it, buy them a one way ticket, OUT. I'm positive they would really like living under the Palestinian Authority, and could join Hamas or Fatah and kill one another. Give me a break. The report sucks.

1) For 60 years the arab world has refused to recognise Israels right to exist For the past 7 years there has been an intefada where Israelis are being blown up as they ride on busses, celebrate Pessach in a hotel or have a drink in bar . Towns like Sderot are having rockets fired at them daily by arabs. The Israeli arabs openly show support for the terrorists who kill jews how can you expect sympathy when you publicly support an enemy. There is also a growing fith colum where Israeli arabs support the terrorist demands or in some cases help them carry out attacks. 2) Whats wrong with asking Israeli arabs to do some kind of civilian national service if they want to be citizens of the state then they should give somethng back to the state. If jews are obliged by law to do millitary service whats wrong with demanding arab do civilian service if you want the same rights as jews then you contribute to society same as jews. 3) Demanding that the arab MKS swear loyatly to the state is not an act of racism its something that the state has a RIGHT TO DEMAND if they want to serve in the countries parliament where they are given the position to try and influence policy making then they should swear loyatly. There is no country in the modern world that would accept a situation where members of their parliament can be excluded from swearing an oath of loyaty because they are part of a minority. There should be laws swear loyaty or your not allowed to sit in the Knesst. 4) The JNF is a trust they own the land and allow the state to use it under certain conditions. If a condition of the JNF is only jews are allowed to use their land that is their right as an indipendent trust. Arabs have given jews no reason to have anything but hate for them they act as an enemy within, they support the enemy when the country is at war, they do not condem terror they feel solidarity for the terrorists. I am surprised there is a single jew in Israel who doesnt hate the arabs Israeli or not arabs have acted as an enemy and people dont generaly love their enemy.

Charles, the young Israelis show their arogant, racist attitude every where, from Nepal to Prague. How do you explain that?

proof of RACISM the Racist's starting point: everybody hates me! THEN I must be superior...

Great you changed the sterotypical settler image, only that chabad emmisaries in chevron are not AT ALL violent.. so why put a picture of a chabad chasid ? Secondly, why dont you ask my opinon regarding farfur and what other arab propoganda racist, anti semitec bile they spew ? What about all the racist trash Tibi spews ? Why is it OK for them to call to relocate jews from judea and samaria ? is that not racism? Why does anyone ask hypocritical liars like Tibi for his opinon? he is a 5th columb enemy and should be deported to Iran ASAP.

How come arabs look for jews to blow up? The so called defense line they sprout is that "all Israeli's are a valid target for ressistance" right? But if there are 1 million arab Israeli's who are a MUCH easier target.. why dont the pali's attack em? why only jews ? why did the pali warn the 2 arab - israeli women on the bus to get off and then blew himself up? RACISTS!

and these Arab MK's that should rot in jails have the chutzpa to make comments on racism in Israel?!

we have to have a jewish state...no arabs no terror, know arabs, know terror

I always associate racism & prejudice with UNGROUNDED feelings &/or assumptions towards some group, leading to behavior that wrongly discriminates against a group. I would NOT conclude that Jews are racist towards Arabs based on UNGROUNDED feelings (fear) &/or assumptions (Arabs want to kill me)held by the Jews towards Arabs. Given the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict how could anyone expect Jews to feel otherwise? Arabs HAVE been trying to kill Jews since the modern day nation of Israel was given back to the Jews. It's no secret that Arab Islamists want to see the Jews driven from Israel, into the sea. It seems to me that if a certain group is trying to kill you based on your race and/or religion, fearing that group & wanting nothing to do with that group is normal and natural. It's called the Survival Instinct. I'd like to see the results of the same poll done with the Arabs. How do Arabs feel/think about Jews?

they shouldn't have to relocated. those jews are there illegally.

Israel is blacklisted in most Arab countries so why should I want to befriend an arab?

Becoming "normal" does not mean aping other cultures rhetoric without understanding it. Racism applies to different racial groups , not different ethnicites.

Jews may not want Arabs in the same building - perhaps for good reason, but Arabs won't even let Jews live in the same country. Why are the Arabs so vehement against Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria disputed land in which the Jewish claim is far better than the Arab claim. They even change the name to the West Bank. Steve Plaut says this is because they would look silly claiming that the Jews are illegally occupying Judea.

A couple of weeks Jewish residents had to flee their town because of a Muslim pogrom. The real racism must be discussed.

to describe all the kinds of racism in israel. Orthodox flavour 1 vs. orthodox flavour 2, natives vs. immigrants, Moroccans vs. Algerians, Moroccans vs. __(ha Am)__, raanana vs kfar saba, histadrut vs. high-tech, __(ha Am)__ vs. Ethiopians

Arabs make movies out of the Protocols of Zion, refer to Jews as apes and monkies, deny the holocaust, subjeted Jews to discriminatory dhimmi laws, and attempt to murder Jews daily. Perhaps the poll takers should ask why there is this hated of Arabs.

on the rise by "citizens" who need to move to Palestine by a stroke of the map re-drawing pen.

Why the big surprise? Racism in Israel exists within the Jewish population, among the various communities. Little kids going to kindergarten and elementary school call other kids that are dark complexioned "Kushi" (equivalent to the "N" word) and "Shachor" (Black). Others are called "Russi" or "Marokai" (Russian or Moroccan) etc, depending on their ethnic background. Only White Ashkenazi Sabras with Protekzia - WASPs are the perfect ones, preferably descendants of the Aliyah Shnia (Second Aliyah).

If all for sudden, for example, in France, a report would show that "2/3 of France youth believe Jews to be less intelligent, uncultured and violent." Or in Germany? Or, for that matter, if 2/3 of British youth would think that "Americans are less intelligent, uncultured and violent". Comments here would be "Oh, no!" "Another attack on freedom and democracy!" etc.

you know like news reports of the Jews of Peekin burning out all of the Druze there and of the other reports of Jewish gangs raping Arab girls. If only I had seen these reports I might be able to see the truth in this report from ACRI (funny how an organization that singlemindedly deals in Arab rights in Israel doesn't mention that in it's name).

far left nuts who push this politically correct nonsense. Everyone else knows the difference between wanting to live securely and racism.
