we have much discrimination, just like many other democratic countries...in someways were better some ways were worse.

arabs have equal civil rights "on paper"...and we do have arab members of the knesset, arab citiizens in the judiciary, etc. Its not an "apartheid" type of discrimination, its more institutionalized....something that can be changed.

like many other countries were far from perfect...but we better than most countries in civil law, citizens rights etc.....and that includes all of our "non jewish citizens.

since nothing works in a vacuum, if one wants to show how bad it is to be an arab in israel, it would be relevant to show how it is to be a jew or christian in an arab country...saudi arabia, egypt, sudan, etc..when seen in the light of the real world, israeli arabs are part and parcel of the israeli landscape....with all the problems that comes from being a minority.

my comment about israeli arabs living within palesetine is exactly that...they feel far more secure living in the "jewish state" than living in palestenian palestine. Where as many identify with the palestenains and help them, send money etc...they 're dont have plans to move there.
