Jews and Arabs. Will those eager to constantly sling dirt at Israel stand up and say to these Arab leaders: Apartheid, anywhere, is bad...??!!

other citizens.

They are Israeli citizens, they enjoy a life of freedom and properity within the bloody Muslim region, they can be members of the parliament, of course they have to serve the state who gives them a living!

I don't believe that if the religious Haredim had been Arab, they would have evaded drafting in the army.

ure life....It will be their choice...Nothing , no medical, no old age pension or whatever benefit the state will give them. If they are so sure that one day Israel will be taken over by conquering hordes of their brothers ,this should be an easy chance for them to vote on the chances of that one day coming to pass!

every Israeli citizen must do his or her bit in the army Haredem, Arabs, Christians every citizen over the age of 18 years must serve in the armed forces- its not a jewish war! as some MK's think, shame on you you want citizenship and benifits, then join the army. like the rest.

"We're second class citizens, we're treated as filth, we are poor & pityfull, we are the 'eternal victim"! When I went to Arab vilages, I saw full restaurants, I saw beautifull villa's and shops full with customers...yes also Jews. I also saw roads, which (I agree) a few years ago were not there. I also see Arab Israeli's having shops in TA & other cities. I also see Arab Israeli doctors, nurses, teachers, university lecturers, journalists, actors, singers, sporters & other Arab Israeli citizens participating as normal citizens. Comparing towns is a waste of time. Citizens make or brake a town. They can make a city bloom or turn it into a pigstie. Stop inciting, complaining an start counting your blessings, for maybe all is not perfect, but that's in no place on this planet. When the governement sees that you 'share part of the burden, it might want to 'share more of the pie.

More duties means more rights. Less duties means less rights. QED

conditionned on the accomplishment of the national mil.service duty like every normal citizen of the state and evry state in the world. Doing such a law would reduce this kind of outrageous behaviour in the arab community and inside the knesset.

Equality or not ! shouldnt be a question,if Palestinian Israelis and any varient of religeon,are citizens then they must be enlisted,the same as any other,or inner Israel will never be at peace,secular accusing blacks meaning Hasidic ,of avoiding sevice and as Palestinians dont get called on,then they are not looked on as true citizens,nor would they ever feel so. Shabat Shalom Rav.

Why you dont sort out things in your hole and the Arab world. The Arab world is on fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Leave Israel alone, the Country is FINE

All sectors in Israel must serve . And National Service must be served by Jews in Arab towns and vice-versa. Israel must finish Arab enclaves in Israel.If they want to live against Israel in their enclaves,they will have to live elsewhere. By calling all to serve ,Israel is stretching a hand to them;if they refuse such hand and think this is a war agaisnt them,so be it. The wheat is going to be separated from the chaff and we will know who is who in Israel after all.

I came from an Arab Country, and I can say that we were treated like shit. Any local Arab can spit,hit,curse, and do whatever he wants to a Jew, and the Jew cannot do anything. We have just to swallow it, and go home quietly. Arabs in Israel are treated ONE MILLION PERCENT much better than Arabs have treated Jews.

My guess is that a higher percentage of Arab citizens will happily perform national service than would the Arab MKs who are nothing but traitors and leaches.

let's hope this drives Arabs to the boats, let them leave on their own.

1. You give the example of shopping centers and malls. Do you realize that these types of ventures must be developed by private investors? Zoning, permits, electricity and water supply is one thing, but the backbone of a mall is a capitalist effort. Only in North Korea does one have a mall set up by the government, so if there's a lack of great places to go to in your town, risk-taking capitalists are the answer, and not just the government. For example, there was a story a few months ago about the biggest baby goods department store in the country, which is located in an Arab village in the north of all places. The owner pursued a low cost strategy and now many Jews drive up there from the center region just to buy at his huge store. Not only that, but he employs lots of people from his extended family too, which helps them and the town too. My point is that success can't just come from the government, it must also come from small businesspeople and entrepreneurs within each community. Therefore, I support taxes going especially to subsidized entrepreneurship classes and small business loans in Arab villages, and not just transfer payments. 2. Do you realize that there are plenty of Jewish backwater towns in Israel too? So one could make the argument that the national government is stingy with them too. Take Yerocham for example. Only after Mitznah went down there for a few years to fix things did the town start improving. Good mayors and good town management are factors too, not just money. 3. I would rather have only volunteer service in Israel, but since that's not possible, what are your thoughts about the African Americans, Native Americans, and Jews who served their countries even before getting the equal treatment that they felt they deserved?

Obama & Arabs have Israels back, watch out for the huge knife !

Now, whether a belief has any sense or not, it is still adhered to by its believers. And like it or not, there is the belief that when one dies in jihad carried out against the "evil infidel dog", one rates a better class of heaven. In no circumstance should any of these people be given the temptation to put that belief into action. That is, no weaponry, no front line positions. Similarly it would not be wise to trust them with a lot of backline positions such as sending supplies wherever. I would say national service is the ONLY safe option.

CITIZENSHIP. END OF DISCUSSION. What is Israel the WELFARE STATE to the world?

When you 'give' services they aren't valued as we see by their complaints. Perhaps if they worked for them paid for them, ( as do most citizens ) ended terror and end their mental illness of trying to take what isn't theirs, the land of Israel, and maybe most important, think for themselves how little they've gotten from their corrupt leaders who while stealing them blind also at the same time, have gobbled them up and spit out the bones.

MAybe that's the problem, treating them better than they treated you and all Jews for that matter? Why would they want to move? They need an inducement..... Perhaps the same treatment they gave you?? Payback's a bitch.

Muhammad, your story is full of crap...I dont know and never heard of Shafaram...But if your village is a pigsty, it is only the fault of its residents...In any case, if you feel, you and your people have it so bad, nobody is holding you hostage...Learn to help yourselves and you will be helped .. But if you are full of hate hate, what and who is holding you there ? I am sure ,that if you and other man in your village, will pick up the shovel and start doing something for yourselves and your village, the government will step in to help too..

If they want to be citizens of the state of Israel, they must do the service, this state demands. If they don't want to do this, they should consider their freedom to leave.

let this play out, a person's true colors will show forth.

Far be it for the heathens to support where they live, enough then..get out and send the, to Arab lands where what rights they have will be stripped away. Stupid idiots

Live in FILTH? Your Telling me YOUR VILLAGE CAN'T lift a hand To Individually Clean your home, front/backyard, street, ally's? Do you use GARBAGE CANS? Everywhere I see arabs Where I Live It's the same way? Your youth and next generation are to live as VICTIMS? You and your so-called leader's PERPETUATE THIS and You Have the GAUL TO BITCH ABOUT IT? Were You Born with a Brain? If Yes WHY DON'T YOU USE IT? Because you become Normal And Figure Out YOUR arab Narative Is Counter to Healthy Thought, Way of Life, And A Myth and Lie? So big MO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? INSTEAD OF BEING ANOTHER GOCHBA? Chales

Democracy translates to equality for all citizens - in obligations and rights. Days of Arab parasitic feeding off Israel while simultaneously declaring their hatred for Israel is coming to an end. No disrespect to those Israeli Arabs who serve their fellow citizens (and local community) through IDF service or National Service. MK Tibi should follow your shining example.

Do you pay your fair share in taxes? Do you give your fair share in peace towards non-Arab, non-Muslim fellow citizens? Do you give your fair share of other obligations as a citizen in Israel, including NOT participating in sedition and rallying for your terrorist brethren next door to attack Israeli civilians? Since the founding of the State, Arabs have either joined the building with Jews or have always been against any Jewish rule...period! It was your community's support for the on-going terrorist war of attrition hoping to win against the Jews. How about we discuss Arab demands to move businesses to their remote villages because the local young talent doesn't want to move to Tel Aviv or Haifa, like Jews do to get jobs? Why should the State cover $$$ millions to subsidize the losses and extra expenses businesses will incur for just your community - and hope some semblance of goodwill will come from it, and hopefully taxes?? You've constantly shown yourselves to be an "other class" but you still demand ALL of the rights as citizens? Just pay your fair share of taxes and that'll be a good start. If you don't want IDF service then do National Service. It fulfills an obligation to the State (all 7 million citizens) and does the most good to your own local community, yet people like you are against even that.
