8. Problematic text books

Yes, holding up a mirror can bring about questions regarding the meaning of democracy.

The Proclamation of Independence contains a key sentence regarding the Arabs in Israel: “We appeal to the Arab inhabitants of the State of Israel”. Here the Arab people are not called “Palestinians”, nor are they spoken of as citizens of the country but only as inhabitants.
