The attitude of the Israeli Arabs to Israel can be summed up in a popular sayings: "take whatever you can and give nothing." For this reason they avoid paying taxes. At the same time they enjoy all the services and benefits which the state offers its citizens. Since they pay very little income tax, they are regarded statistically as belonging to the poor sector. But anybody who travels through Arab villages and towns in Israel is astonished by the wonderful villas of these "poor people". The Israeli Arabs are represented by three parties in the Knesset that are elected in free, democratic elections. One of them is officially communist, one officially Islamic, and one "national-democratic" but as far as their attitude to Israel as a Jewish state is concerned : they all openly wish for its disappearance although all of them swore allegiance to "the State of Israel and its laws" as described at: http://israelagainstterror.blogspot.com/2007/12/enemy-within.html

A solution to the problem with the restive Arab-Israeli population in Umm-al Fahm might be a population exchange between those folk and the Israelis currently being battered in Sderot. Let Hamas bombard Arab-Israelis living in Sderot and let's see whether their tune changes.

Of course, the Arab movement in Israel is silent when Israel is attacked so how are other Israelis supposed to take them seriously? It's simple: Hamas rules Gaza and Hamas openly is looking for Israel's destruction and interested only in a temporary ceasefire in order to regroup their efforts - Negotiating with Hamas for the long term demonstrates insanity as their long term interest is Israel's destruction.

for still sticking to such a balanced and peaceful viewpoint. If I were to read the horrible comments in this forum by Jews, I would start to hate the Jews. and then the comments by the leaders in your own community who just want to fan the flames. I would have given up on both long ago. Ramzi, sachten alecha.

maybe they should work on changing the Hamas and Islamic Jihad and anyone elses charter that specifically calls for the "killing of Jews and the destruction of Israel." If the bombs and rockets stopped I tthink they might be in shock. Israel would bend over backwards to create a peace treaty. It might not satisfy every Arab desire but hey they lost the wars they're not supposed to get everything their hearts desire. What they would get is a nation and recognition. They would also have the most vibrant westernized society and ecconomy in the Middle East as a trading partner. Unless of course they would prefer to live in the 7th Century in which case they would have a non interfering neighbor. There would be no "holocaust" No more children need live in fear. And everyone could get a good nights sleep...but only if the bombings and rockets being sent into Israel stop

Remember, that after there will not be Israel any more, You, idiot, will be next "cancer". You'll live one day longer....may be.

Dear Arab leaders Stop shooting rockets into Israel, stop killing innocent Israelies and Jews and we will stop attacking Gaza and the terrorists. Its as simple as that or are to thick to understand that.

We have to let them express themselves, as long as there’s no violence that’s why we are proud of our democracy, we also identify with our brothers in times of hardship in Muslim countries and elsewhere. That is the only way they can learn and appreciate the societies they live in and with that there are rules they must follow. We have known that they are wrong supporting Hamas.AND THAT IS WHY WE NEED A STATE ONLY FOR JEWS. And then if they are not happy we tell them that the DOORS ARE WIDE OPEN.

There will be a holocaust -- A HOLOCAUST OF ISRAELI ARABS -- if they don't shut their effing little dirty mouths. Go to one of 50+ other islamic nations (hogging up HALF the world) and try to protest see how long you'll even BREATHE let alone be even ALLOWED to friggin PROTEST!

Obviously you've never been to Israel. It's a pretty nice and pleasant place when it isn't getting bombed all the time. One of Canada and the USA's biggest ally. Israel does a lot of shit for the world. All the palistinians do is support terror. The palis asked for this. What goes around comes around brotha. I agree with calls of arresting every single palistinian and throwing them into the west bank or syria. Just get them out of Gaza! It belongs to Israel!

when will israel get rid of this arab knesset members they only preach hatred they say that the arab population wont be silent let the army handle them like the terrorist in gaza and dont call for an investigation it is time to deal with them before it is to late

It's deception to denie. one wonders thier motive in saying this, cuz they would lose? Jesus once said" even Heaven was taken by violence"! How much more this cursed earth we live in. Darwinist know & believe this.
