Survey Reveals Deep Arab Mistrust of Israeli Institutions – Except the Supreme Court According to a new survey conducted by veteran NIF grantee Adalah: Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel, Israel's 20 percent Arab minority has a deep mistrust of national institutions and government policy, with the exception of the Supreme Court. The survey showed that 93.5 percent of Arab Israelis regard government policy as unjust, while 93 percent mistrust the Israel Lands Administration, which controls the country's land resources. Eighty-three percent of respondents said that they had no confidence in the Knesset and 79 percent mistrusted the Hebrew-language media. The only state institution that came out of the report well was the Supreme Court, which earned a relatively low mistrust vote of 35.6 percent.
The survey also asked Israel's Arabs to rank the topics they see as needing government intervention. In first place was the education system followed by the unrecognized Bedouin villages, and the need to establish more industrial zones in Arab communities.

4. As a Jewish Israeli... |
|
you are treated different from Israeli Arabs and thus your views are different from theirs. Your mistrust and concerns are not the same as theirs.

I'm not sure the article actually discusses it (the link is an e-mail address).
What would Israeli Arabs like altered in the educational system?

6. Errr ... sounds like the usual list of demands. |

Tx.
I'll leave the follow up question unasked (do majority-Arab-Israelischools differ significantly from majority-Jewish-Israeli is probably partially a no-brainer, and partially fraught with as many controversies as US schools?).
