31. When did they come to these towns?
Scott ,   Beer Sheva, Israel   (12.27.11)
They probably relied on false, skewed data from Arab or far-left groups. New housing for Arabs was recently announced in Jerusalem & other parts of the country. I live in Beer Sheva, which is about 20% Arab, mostly Bedouins. There is no discrimination here. The Arabs live next door to Jews, use the same public transportation, go to the same university & colleges. They shop & work in the same stores. There is no problem with the Arabs here. The same can be said for other mixed Jewish-Arab cities such as Acco & Jaffa. These hypocrite Europeans need to take a look at the problems they have with Muslims at home - where there is a lot of discrimination and mutual hostility.
32. check your business first
rahamim ,   coral springs fl   (12.27.11)
this is europe or eurabia http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amQtXtkys6Q&NR=1&feature=endscreen
33. #11 they do but its not in Ynets interest and propaganda to
Koby   (12.28.11)
report these stories.. #13 was right.
34. EU is circling the drain
BH ,   Iowa   (12.28.11)
They are furious Israel refuses to follow them down.
35. the Israeli Arabs themselves disagree
manny ,   canada   (12.28.11)
Very few of them would rather live on the Palestinian side. It says all, don’t it?
36. weinstein and liberman
mohson   (12.28.11)
If weinstein indicts lieberman for charges that are likely less than those dismissed against sharon, he will have killed the israeli state. Liberman is the only one holding up bibi as barakl, livni, merridor, and all of labour are weaklings who have no guts and offer only concessions, rockets and gloom. Weinstein, you had better be certain-don't screw it up. if t here is a shred of doubt, leave avigdor alone. He is crucial to israel's defense.
37. Connections
Zivron   (12.28.11)
Let is hope Libermans extensive connections van help those Arabs who want to live in peace those price tag fascists ought to be jailed or deported for their arrogant thuggery and know all delusions.
38. #28 Harold
Devorah   (12.28.11)
Israel has the best friend of all, G-D, as you and all of Israel's enemies will come to find out.
39. Discrimination ?
Tom ,   New YORK, USA   (12.28.11)
The US has a black president , blacks serve in the army , are 10 % of the population and are 50 % of people in prison and have twice the unemployment rate of whites. Affirmative action allowed Mr. & Mrs. Obama to attend the prestigious universities . As a matter of record Jews & Asians have the highest rate of academic achievement.
40. #30 Why is Israel suffering?
Robert ,   Australia   (12.28.11)
Islam, Judaism, what's the difference? There are ugly fanatics on both sides as the majority of Ynet posts testify.
41. EUROPE ALWAYS OUR ENEMY
Zimbi ,   NJUSA   (12.28.11)
42. dumb talkbacks as usual
(12.28.11)
every developed country gets reports like this put out about it periodically , lamenting the gaps between indigenous peoples and majority citizens. Only Israel reacts as if it is being persecuted by people out to get her. Grow up.
43. We Jews were discriminated against in Arab lands.We left!
they can leave too!   (12.28.11)
there are 53 Arab and Moslem lands and no Jew has been allowed to stay there. EU didn't make any reports about thoes Arab apartheid states. but no matter how Israel is good to every one including Arab, they always condemn Israel. EU knows its easy to incite Arabs and others against Jews with lies. people in other countries will believe EU becuase they haven't been to Israel. they believe any lies. and thye will be ready to kill when the EU European masters order them to.
44. #28 no becuase most of the world is sinking into corruption
and evil   (12.28.11)
45. compare arabs in israel to arabs in france
david ,   new york   (12.28.11)
arabs in israel are much more successful.
46. Rule #2
J1 ,   Earth   (12.28.11)
Everyone forgets rule #2 Never use Fair and Jew in the same sentence. The other rules 1) they want to kill the Jews. 3) Jewish blood is cheap.
47. In LIKE situation (?) Arabs' fate in hands of OTHER nation?!
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (12.28.11)
48. The Greatest Threat to Israel is Europe
Ari ,   Los Angeles   (12.28.11)
The greatest existential threat to Israel is not necessarily an Iranian nuclear weapon but an independent European Security Force/Rapid Reaction Force which would attack Israel on behalf of the Palestinians in a Third or Fourth Intifada. Israel should also worry about a hostile and aggressive NATO. Israel should align with the East against the West.
49. Why can't Europe look the other way?
James ,   Australia   (12.28.11)
Israel wants the world to "look the other way". Ironic, isn't it?
50. European Arab populations
David ,   Romania   (12.28.11)
One needs to look at the de facto ghetos of the European Capital Brussels to see how "equal" Arabs in the EU are. How about a report on the relative crime rates, living conditions, unemployment and education levels of Europe's Arab populations and what is being done about that?
51. Israel is more tolerant of muslims than the EU is
zionist forever   (12.28.11)
In Israel where are the ban on wearing the burqua, a law thats growing in popularity across the EU? Where are the laws banning minarets, a law which Switzerland, one of the most liberal countries in Europe has introduced? Where are the laws on Halel meat, all over the EU they are all going out their way to ban Kashrut? They are more concerned with the animal than religion even if it has been proven Kashrut causes the animal minimal pain. The EU is not concerned with the fact if your in an arab country you can be stoned to death if your gay or a woman can be executed in honor killing for bringing shame to the family but with Israel as we have some problems with the arab & bedouin minorities the EU are up in arms? If the EU are as concerned about their beloved peace process but they complicate matters further and add Israeli arabs into the equation they are going to send their peace process further down the toilet than it already is. Time for them to learn their place in the world. All the great European empires are gone and the British government no longer has a mandate to dictate policy on how this country is run and Israel is neither a member of the EU and neither does it seek to become one. Just like Ron Paul the EU will not be satisfied until Israel is closed down and handed over to the arabs lock stock and barrel because they believe it has no right to exist and its built on arab land. Its just a shame Bibi caved into pressure from these unelected EU hypocrites and eventually agreed to shelve the bill on foreign government funding fro political groups in Israel.
52. absolutely outrageous!
nadav ,   tel aviv   (12.28.11)
The EU should look into its own backyard on how they treat black and Muslim minorities in their countries or indeed all immigrants, like 3rd tier class, most of whom are blatantly denied citizenship even after 3 generations of loyalty to the States where they live. Then perhaps the EU should focus on how some countries, in particular France, treat their indigenous peoples, such as the Corsicans, Basque, Bretons, Alsatians, Flemish, and gypsies (40,000 of whom Sarkozy expelled without a whimper from anyone), denying htem national autonomy or recognizing their national languages and cultures! Lieberman is right, the EU is irrelevant and we should jettison them- along with the Russians, out of the Quartet!
53. Britain is obsessed beyond angst.
BUTSeriosly ,   Sydney   (12.28.11)
Obviously, this nation spends all its time conjuring up antisemitic fictional scenarios, with a wink nod from M6 and silence from its clergy and royals. But this nation is blind of it becoming Britainistan instead. Sad but true and merited reward.
54. hypocrisy???
ale ,   italia   (12.28.11)
discrimination is not only between jewish and arabs in israel and in palestine too.. discrimination is the basement of israel. in another part of this on-line paper i read today: "Thousands gathered in Beit Shemesh Tuesday for a demonstration protesting the growing demand by radical religious elements to exclude women from public life in Israel." so i repeat, in israel not only the arab people is discriminated. israelis exclude jewish woman too.
55. #26 nina - no problem
rebecca ,   Modiin   (12.28.11)
Arabs here have as much schooling subsidy as anyone. They got to our universities, built on donations by Jews, with the same benefits as Jews. They do not have to serve in the army. If they commit terror crimes they are let out of jail in no time at all, and paid by the PA while they're in Jail. And they have their own political parties in our Knesset. Please, could the rest of the world, incl the Arab states, treat us Jews the same way.
56. There's not much the state of Israel can do about
rebecca ,   Modiin   (12.28.11)
people who prefer to smoke nagila all day, stone their daughters or blow up their sons, than get an education and do something with their lives.
57. this article
jon ,   new york, USA   (12.28.11)
Why does'nt Israel conduct a report on the disparities between Protestant white Christians and blacks in the U.S.? Why does'nt Israel conduct a report on economic disparities of whites and Arabs in Paris or London?
58. Eu? Don't make me laugh. Jew hatred
Vardina   (01.12.12)
spreads through EU almost like in 1939/
