To answer your question, why is hate so entrenched? Instead of killing us Jews/Israelis with random acts of terrorism, why don't your brothers give up all violence, lay down their weapons, rocks, stones & boulders included? To seek a real long lasting peace with equal rights for both Jews & Palestinians, the killing, rockets, & suicide bombings, etc, have to stop first. How can you expect us Jews to trust your people? A multi-cultural society is based on mutual trust, is it not?

Let them move to Gaza. If they want to become enlightened educated and make a good living peacefully,then WELCOME friends and neighbors.
4. Equal rights for Arab Israelis means
Jo   (03.19.15)
What exactly? Be specific, discrimination exists in all democracies, everywhere,and even in those that are not. What specific equal rights are they fighting for? I do believe in equality but I also believe that rights also include obligations for all citizens....and on this case arab Isralelis are not equal......they do not bear the burden of defense, they are not drafted and most of their young people enter Israeli Universities much earlier because of it. Take war for instance, if Israel is attacked and in a fight for its existence......will Arab Israelis take up e gauntlet and fit for the it's ridiculous ght to exist, or side with the attackers or be like Switzerland? Almost all that burden falls on Jewish Israelis, others and Druse Israelis..........that is not equality. There are genuine questions here. Sometimes it seems like the Arab Israeli community want an affirmation policy with all the rights but no obligations. Dual loyalties are not always equal. I am hoping for the best the the record of some of these MKs is not pro equality nor pro Israeli.
