Nonsense! . Israel has jumped over backwards to integrate and accommodate Arabs and other non Jewish citizens - many who are hostile to the state in which they live, including democratically voted members of government (the Knesset). Like all citizens they receive state benefits like national security, medical insurance, child allowance money and social security on checks issued by The State of Israel, In fact, tourists who visit
are not be able to tell the difference between various citizens in a crowd, unless they are wearing the signature clothes of their perspective group,

I too am a citizen, and may not build inside or onto my home without lots of permits at the very real threat of it being torn down and me given a high fine,
I may not buy a property not specifically regulated for building, and build.
It will be torn down, and everyone knows that, It makes no matter if I am a decorated war hero or not.
In the many Arab villages near my home, building without permits, where it is forbidden etc is common place. The tactic is to do it and then demonstrate that they should be allowed or there is racist intent involved.

People not familiar with how things actually are and work in the wonderful and amazing country of Israel will read this and harden their heart towards
our country. There are 45,000 Africans who have entered Israel illegally and are trying to stay here because it is so good here,.

Why play the racist card?
More than fair compensation and assistance offered.
Go live in Syria where you will get the treatment you deserve.
Enough with this pretext creation.

At a time when Christians and Jews are being horribly persecuted in Muslim countries, it is obscene to worry about the minor inconveniences Muslims endure in Israel. Israel should have much bigger concerns.

Almost all Negev male Beduins are polygamous ,with dozens of children(there're some with 50,fifty)-all supported by the hated Israel's generous child allowances.
Strange the author doesn't see it odd.She likes to be a submissive female,will some Beduin take her for the 4'th wife perhaps ?

Most Arabs do not serve in the army and do not even do civilian national service. As a result they start studying or working 2-3 years earlier than Israeli Jews. Also living expenses are much lower in Arab towns and it is still traditional for young Arab couples to live in the parents' home, often on another floor which the parents built for them. ie no need for a mortgage. There may be discrimination between Israeli Arabs and Jews but its not all one way.

Than a "First Class Citizen" in countries like Libya, Syria, Iran, Sudan.....need I list more?
In Israel, Arabs live in a Democratic Country. If they don't waste their time and resources on Terrorism, they can have a great life. If Israel opened its borders to Immigration...just about every Country surrounding them would become vacant overnight.
Now lets talk about the past status of Jews in most Islamic Countries....
Excluding Saudi Arabia, Kuwait...Jews aren't allowed ! I believe that we were considered "Second Class Citizens" as well.

Israel's destiny will be exactly the same as of South Africa.
No doubt about that.
It is going to happen sooner or later.
Israel is NOT a jewish state, because with only 70% of jewish population and going down, it can not be called jewish.
Israel is a jewish-aran state, and Israeli government ignore this fact.
And when what has happened in South Africa will happen in israel, then the rules will change.

Second class are the Jews that Israel decides are not Jews
Third class are Christian Arabs
Fourth class are the Druze
Fifth class are the Beduin
Muslim Arabs are the SIXTH class.

They do this everyday because it their home they must go back to.

Reality Check for the Eternally Naïve , even if every Arab in Israel
lived in a villa ( as many now do ) had a string of degrees ( as many
do ) they would never accept our right to be here so stop your
dangerous dreaming , we have to separate from ALL Arabs let
those in Nazareth have their Palestinian Flag etc etc etc just get
them out of our Knesset let them development their own future
unhindered by us and we ours. Separate from ALL Arabs NOW
before they reach 50% and then a majority WITHIN ISRAEL !

How about arab discrimination against jews living in palestinian territories?
Or I missed something and israeli jews are not even allowed to live inside palestinian land?

when you look at YNET NEWS and you see how often the news stories change in Hebrew compared to the English version. Check out the "magazine"...stories stay there for a moth without change. Obviously YNET NEWS thinks native English speakers are NOT WORTH THE EFFORT...

ehud barak said there is no mercy for the weak in the middle east. arad won't admit this to herself that aside from most of the druse and some bedouin along with some aramains, the arabs have been incredibly disloyal to israel time and again. if they could, they would dismantle the state even if it meant their standard ofl iiving would go right into the garbage can.

israel for the most part has done well with its minority.go to syria or lebanon if you prefer it.

it is difficult to read arad and the usual haaretz writers debase israel. they hate it and wish to be rule by an arab president. they hate the idea of jewish soverignty. they would prefer to live like the jews of turkey who hope at the end of the day that erdogan will be ok.

arad, is this what you want???

I can guaran damn tee you Arabs have it better In Israel than any Jews in Arab-Muslims lands.
( which is about zero.)

I highly recommend people take an "Arab Villa Tour" to see the tens
of thousands of Arabs Villas many with swimming pools indoor and
out you can find them all over the Galilee see them in Wadi Ara
Nazareth Beduin villages all over the Galilee and all over the
Negev , the media focuses on small shack illegal villages aka
"Land Grabs" and never on the villa next to it built on free state
land with no mortgage aka Illegal money , they pay little or
no taxes and are a law and separate nation unto themselves
while the average Israeli Jew cannot even add a balcony without
going through tons of bureaucracy and burdened under massive
taxes their children in the army while Arab students are in college
Oh ditto in the "West Bank" a highlight should be the tour of
the multi million dollar Palestinian Presidents Palace in Ramallah
Poor old Israeli Leftist media still stuck in denial thankfully alternative medias
are replacing you .
