Many young Israeli Arabs want to do national service but those elements like Balad threaten them not to help the State or even acknowledge it. They teach their youth that they are "Palestinians" in waiting for the destruction of Israel. As #22 stated, many Israeli Arabs are proud to be Israeli but are threatened and oppressed by their own leaders who ignore them.

and honored him and his threats against the Jewish State. Only when Gaddafi became an intl target did these MKs renounce him but only partially.

…and found the Arabs very menacing. After being followed by a bunch of catcalling men as she walked down the street, it became obvious to her she was in danger. To her great relief, she happened upon an Israeli army patrol that escorted her out. No more visits to Arab areas for her.

and are they really Israelis or Jews? Want to see how loyalty looks? Watch how many plane-loads of Israelis flying into the State happen when a war erupts. During 2006, El Al had to add more planes to accommodate all the Israelis returning to fight for the State. and new olim, especially from Ethiopia, fought hard for the State despite Nasrallah predicting they would all run away when one Hizballah rocket lands.

When the US arrested the American--born idiot who joined the Taliban to fight the US, was this also apartheid? You should listen to the Israeli Arabs themselves (like #22). They like being Israeli, are given full benefits and rights equal as other citizens, but aren't obligated like other citizens. #22 admitted he is disgusted at his own leaders working against the State rather than helping bridge gaps. It's sad you have no idea what apartheid even means, let alone know the real situation in Israel. Israeli Arabs have full rights and work/travel freely everywhere. Not exactly a mirror image of Apartheid South Africa, is it?

The problem is that Israeli Arabs feel that they have little choice but to vote for the Arab MK who represent very anti-Israeli views. If they voted Labour or Likud as more & more do then things will change. The Arab MK like Hanin & Tibi hate Israeli & they make all MKs & Israelis in general think that all Arabs also hate Israel.

like zoabi who are without doubt enemies of the state are removed from positions of power.

What they are asking for is a special dispensation to advocate for people killing their fellow Israelis - including the Israeli Arabs they claim to represent - whilst those people are killing them.

The anti-Semites will always hate Jews and Israel. The problem is with the Jewish stream that caters to the Arab enemies of Israel regardless what the enemies do or do not do.

They are who they are. The big problem is the Jewish mentality and culture and tries to transform the enemy. Will the Jews ever learn that it is not possible to change the serial killers. Keep giving them the water, electricity, medical care, education, jobs and beg them for respect. You will never get it from the enemies. Face the harsh reality Israel! Your enemies will never foster anything ,moral as they only know hate and violence.

See themselves as Jews first and American last. That's why, unlike other hyphenated-Americans say Irish or Italian-Americans, they put the Jew last, meaning they are Jews. What's the problem?

The economy in Russia is picking up, europe isn't so bad and the US's doors are always open...depending on which of these places you came from...have a wonderful trip :).

So anybody besides me think Diskin looks like a turtle? Oh, and to #63 my daughter was also a tourist in E Jerusalem and the Arabs calling to her just wanted her to buy goods from their shops. (She speaks both Hebrew and Arabic). They were kind and the gifts she brought me are lovely! She also brought back the perception that there is extreme prejudice and hatred in Israel toward anything that is not Jewish, based on her first-hand experience. Do Israelis even try to get along with those who are good people but not Jewish?????
