1. We are not afraid!
Rina   (04.08.15)
Who are you talking about when you say the Jews are afraid of the Arabs? Shame on you for this article. Stop this generalization!
2. Jews are generalized; not to generalize the Arabs?!
rina   (04.08.15)
the article is annoying to say the least.
3. They are discriminated against because
Susan ,   Kfar Saba   (04.08.15)
they are not trusted.
4. and Jewish citizens of Israel
Non Jewish immigrant ,   haifa   (04.08.15)
have to prove that non jews and particularly Arabs aren't second class citizens but fully belong to The Hebrew state.
5. All Arabs must take this approach
Dan   (04.08.15)
The one reason Bibi and asharon have gained and held power, and with them the settlers and the extreme right, is signals from the Arab world that it prefers violence. When peace seemed to be offered, as at Oslo or with Sadat, Israel responded generously. When all Israel got was missiles, as from Gaza under Hamas, it closes its heart. Show that you want peace and you will get it — not before.
6. strange logic
avramele   (04.08.15)
More than half of likud +, yisrael b'aliyah, Bayit Yehudi, the haredi parties and their Rabbis, the chief rabbinate all hold overt and racist views which they are prepared to back up with legislation and threatening policies. And the author admonishes the Arab citizens of Israel to prove they are worthy of democracy? And this from a liberal Israeli Jew? No wonder we are incapable of making our case to the world!

I would not place too much hope on someone who called the jews fascists and believes he is persecuted.
8. #4

Well then the Arabs should prove they recognize Israel's right to exist. If the Arabs in Israel don't pay taxes or serve in the military like everyone else then how can they expect to fully belong?
9. The fear of the arabs...
Walt K ,   Sherbrooke, Canada   (04.09.15)
Is not related to the Shoah but it is related to the actual muslim terror attacks who happen cross the world. When someone offers peace.. Danger ! If we look the history, the Europeans, whith their bible, came to America and then, the Indians have a huge continent... So, The Europeans asked Indians to close their eyes... When they reopened it, the Indians lost their continent but it remains a Bible. This story was not from me... I Only heard it.
10. to no.6
Jennie ,   Israel/US   (04.09.15)
"Overt and racist views" ? OOhhh...!!! Poor little Avramele... FYI, the Israeli voters know a "little" better who to vote for their PM and cabinet members.. Thank G-d, we got rid of the mortal threat of Tzipi's and Herzog's election to lead the Jewish State, would cause .. Instead of "talking" about "racist views" of Israel & the cabinet of the democratically elected Knesset, you better prove your point with facts...
11. to avramele @6
JB ,   Israel/US   (04.10.15)
"Racist views ", Really ? If that is true, why don't you share with us some of the facts on the subject.. ? What else do you desire Israel to do for Palestinians, that they still didn't, "Avremele " ? If you can't back up a statement with facts, it is an obvious lie, that won't "fly" on this board...
12. To no.4 :Non Jewish immigrant...
Jennie ,   Israel/US   (04.10.15)
If you have been living in Haifa, you would know, that there is no discrimination of Arabs in Israel or any other ethnic or religious group...IF we have Zoabi and Mashaal and plenty Arab members in the Knesset, you better snap out of your desire to lie.. You are free to leave Israel at any time..Second class citizens..? In Israel you are judged by your deeds and your compliance with the laws and not by your race or color of your skin, etc..
13. London (what kind of name is that anyway) lives in utopia
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (04.10.15)
Arabs want all of Israel to be Arab, this is the root cause of the problem.
14. Expecting any sense from this old Stalinist is too much,
(04.09.15)
I guess. One has to admire these old, brainwashed Useful Idiots in their persistence on calling the night a day and vice -versa. Then there are the followers, a la "Avramele" : there must exist a description of these lunatics, but it has to be within the Latin, professional lingo of psychiatry!
15. To Mr's Jennie
Luiz F Haddad ,   Niteroi, Brazil   (04.10.15)
Dear Lady. I do support Israel, as you have seen for long time. Your comments above are right. There is not any discrimination of citizens who are loyal to the country and uphold Law and order. I only criticize radical positions like sending all Arab people to Jordan. It opposes Democracy and Humanism, precious Jewish values. Of course, terrorists deserve hard punishments. Salutes from a friend.
