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.

I think the treatment of arab israeli's is the similar to the situation of Blacks in America. Although they have freedoms like all other citizens, they are not seen as "equal" in the ladder of success.

I've always wanted to know what the Arab Jews think about this whole conflict.

i agree with TranceGiant,i think that time will fix the probs of the arab israelies but first they need to define themselfs,if they will choose to be a law keeping israelies then they will be in a higher place like the "arab-jewish" people(even though there"s no such thing) - in israel that are now equal unlike the past

It's partially true, but the terrorists are also equally responsible for the cycle of violence.
