Wheres the news?
Where's the obvious "and vice versa" ?
In every country minorities will be seen through the eyes of prejudice, especially in a country with this history and where this minority is more or less "linked" (if only culturally) to people who are de facto waging war against you.
| quote: | | While many Israeli-Arabs say they enjoy political freedoms and economic opportunities that they might not find in Arab states, they generally also say that they feel like second-class citizens. |
It's vital to keep that in mind. About them being second-class citizens, while its true to some extent, the situation keeps getting better and will actually completely SOLVE itself once the Israeli - Palestinian conflict is dissolved.
I just came from Israel, and went to this Arab restaurant once. Didnt we talk? Do you think there were attempts to kill each other while the food was served? My little cousin played with the owner's little girls actually and later we sat down and had some good arab coffee. There's no reason as to why it shouldnt work out. But first the Arab Israelis TEMSELVES should become clear about their own identity. Will they see themselves as Palestinians who wait to re-obtain their "Palestine" or will they try to fully integrate themselves, adapt elemnts of Israeli culture, become partly Israeli.
