@Bubbles.

wrong.

Arabs cannot travel everywhere, they cannot buy homes in Jerusalem, they have special ID cards, they are not allowed in the military, they are considered 2nd class by the populace and therefore unable to get the better jobs etc.

Its like the US for many years before the civil rights movement. Sure on the surface most seem equal, but underneath there is a huge disparity between Arab and Jews in Israeli society, just like blacks in the US.

 

that is absolute bullshit.  quit spreading your hateful lies.

If you say so bubbles.

"Arab perceptions of citizenship status

Many Arab citizens feel that the state, as well as society at large, not only actively limits them to second-class citizenship, but treats them as enemies, impacting their perception of the de jure versus de facto quality of their citizenship.^[107] The joint document The Future Vision of the Palestinian Arabs in Israel, asserts: "Defining the Israeli State as a Jewish State and exploiting democracy in the service of its Jewishness excludes us, and creates tension between us and the nature and essence of the State." The document explains that by definition the "Jewish State" concept is based on ethnically preferential treatment towards Jews enshrined in immigration (the Law of Return) and land policy (the Jewish National Fund), and calls for the establishment of minority rights protections enforced by an independent anti-discrimination commission.^[108]"

As I said, most laws are intended to be equal, however, that doesn't stop the actual Jews majority from doing differently and the Judicial system from turning away.

 

so lets see...that quote talks about how they feel...nothing about what actually happens.   whats even better is that you quote from something that refutes your claims.   so way to own yourself.
