1. Arabs in Israel are not Palestinian
ZM ,   Haifa   (07.14.19)
Arabs who live in Israel, are citizens
and receive state benefits- l
So they are Israeli.
Maybe, some of them had parents who lived in
Israel when it was called Palestine, like some of my relatives.
But the country is now called Israel, so they are all Israelis.
Jewish Israelis, Arab Israelis, Druze Israelis etc.
Israel is not the only country whose name has changed.


2. Same services are given.
TM ,   Haifa   (07.14.19)
Further, to suggest health services are different for Arab citizens
is a lie. Health services are exactly the same for all citizens,
including IVF. Nazareth, which they are near, is a very large city,
with full services. Some small towns, Arab and Jewish, have less
local services like great parks and playgrounds, due to less local
tax money. There are Arabs in my neighborhood, but the Arab towns minutes away pay 1/3 the amount that I pay for city tax, which is paid according to
house size, and determined by each city or local council.
Being a small town, with fewer residents contributing taxes, and
their town council charging much less for local tax means their town
hasn't prioritized a park and playground.
Trying to say otherwise is typical, but untrue.


3. WHY NOT ?
COCKNEY GEEZER ,   LONDON INNIT   (07.14.19)
Let's face it, each and every day ,Israel is accused of being an " Apartheid "
state ,so if you're going to get punished for the crime, you might as well do the crime.
4. Occupied
Moishe   (07.15.19)
In Europe many Parks are occupied by Arabs but the citizens must pay all...isnt it a great world?
5. Israeli ASrabs have appearances against them.
jochair thijssen ,   kfar saba israel   (07.15.19)
Israeli Arabs are mostly moslem and identify with Palestinians.Palestinians are defined mostly as murderers So not much honour there.
Not every move that Israel makes against Palestinians is racist and against Israeli Arabs. that need to make clear where they stand.
