Living inside the racist Israeli state
Arab citizens have been troubled recently by an issue that had not been discussed in past decades: does the creeping entry of transfer in Israel's legitimate public domain reflect a genuine danger? It is important to recognize that beyond the fear involved in discussing this question, there is another dimension. Arab citizens have lost the sense that they understand the Jewish majority and are able to readily discern processes which it undergoes. Many view Israeli society as being more extremist, unpredictable and dangerous than ever.
From http://www.haaretzdaily.com/hasen/pages/ShArt.jhtml?itemNo=163435&contrassID=2&subContrassID=4&sbSubContrassID=0&listSrc=Y
The protest of Arab citizens of Israel in response to the events of Operation Defensive Shield was relatively moderate. There were some demonstrations; organizations and public leaders took part in some of these. But compared to protests in October 2000, these demonstrations were small and restrained.
In October 2000, protests flared in response to events which at the time were perceived as being highly disturbing (Sharon's visit to the Temple Mount, the killing of demonstrators at the site, the death of the boy Mohammed Dura), whose import seems reduced when viewed today. The demonstrations of April 2002, which were staged in protest against much greater levels of suffering and damage, were far more restrained. Despite the hundreds of Palestinians killed in the territories, the devastating blow to infrastructure and homes, the systematic destruction of civil institutions, the curfews, the starvation, the obstruction of emergency services and the disruption of the lives of hundreds of thousands while Defensive Shield was being carried out, the inclination of Arabs in Israel to refrain from violence and stick to a repertoire characteristic of legitimate demonstrations was conspicuous.
...
Fear felt today by Arab citizens of Israel was born in late 2000 in response to a police force that did not refrain from pointing its rifles at Arab citizens. Since the end of 2000, this unease has transformed into grave fear in response to the increasingly frequent allusions of transfer in Israeli discourse.

It is important to recognize that beyond the fear involved in discussing this question, there is another dimension. Arab citizens have lost the sense that they understand the Jewish majority and are able to readily discern processes which it undergoes. Many view Israeli society as being more extremist, unpredictable and dangerous than ever.
Many among Israel's Jewish majority will be tempted to endorse the paternalist claim that the relative quiet proves that policies of force work. They will claim that actions undertaken by the police in late 2000 made borders of the permissible and the forbidden very clear to Arabs, and thereby restored the deterrence factor. What proponents of this view fail to understand is that the imposition of fear, which appears to be a solution in the short term, is a moral abomination and an inept policy for the middle and long terms.

The American news media seems far more proIsrael than the Israeli news media.
Im sure people would complain less if they went back to Jordan.
Israel likes to treat the native population as if they are illegal immigrants. Its kinda like California.
Surprised that Israelis consider expulsion?
What do you think happens when you openly support people who publicly state that they wish to kill you and then proceed to target mothers and children for death?
Honestly, the best thing for both groups would be for the Druze, Bedouins, and Christian Palestinians to remain in Israel as full citizens and have the Muslim Palestinians relocate to the new Palestinian state. They can take over the settlements of the Jewish Settlers who surely will be butchered by their new landlords if they remain in the future Palestinian state.
Lets be real here. This is a not a game.

20 Facts about Israel and the Middle East
by William Bennett, Jack Kemp, and Jeane Kirkpatrick
These 20 facts will help serve as a primer for those trying to understand the historical context of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
The world's attention has been focused on the Middle East. We are confronted daily with scenes of carnage and destruction. Can we understand such violence? Yes, but only if we come to the situation with a solid grounding in the facts of the matter-facts that too often are forgotten, if ever they were learned. Below are twenty facts that we think are useful in understanding the current situation, how we arrived here, and how we might eventually arrive at a solution.
Roots of the Conflict
1. When the United Nations proposed the establishment of two states in the region--one Jewish, one Arab -- the Jews accepted the proposal and declared their independence in 1948. The Jewish state constituted only 1/6 of one percent of what was known as "the Arab world." The Arab states, however, rejected the UN plan and since then have waged war against Israel repeatedly, both all-out wars and wars of terrorism and attrition. In 1948, five Arab armies invaded Israel in an effort to eradicate it. Jamal Husseini of the Arab Higher Committee spoke for many in vowing to soak "the soil of our beloved country with the last drop of our blood."
2. The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) was founded in 1964 -- three years before Israel controlled the West Bank and Gaza. The PLO's declared purpose was to eliminate the State of Israel by means of armed struggle. To this day, the Web site of Yasir Arafat's Palestinian Authority (PA) claims that the entirety of Israel is "occupied" territory. It is impossible to square this with the PLO and PA assertions to Western audiences that the root of the conflict is Israel's occupation of the West Bank and Gaza.
3. The West Bank and Gaza (controlled by Jordan and Egypt from 1948 to 1967) came under Israeli control during the Six Day War of 1967 that started when Egypt closed the Straits of Tiran and Arab armies amassed on Israel's borders to invade and liquidate the state. It is important to note that during their 19-year rule, neither Jordan nor Egypt had made any effort to establish a Palestinian state on those lands. Just before the Arab nations launched their war of aggression against the State of Israel in 1967, Syrian Defense Minister (later President) Hafez Assad stated, "Our forces are now entirely ready . . . to initiate the act of liberation itself, and to explode the Zionist presence in the Arab homeland . . . the time has come to enter into a battle of annihilation." On the brink of the 1967 war, Egyptian President Gamal Nassar declared, "Our basic objective will be the destruction of Israel."
4. Because of their animus against Jews, many leaders of the Palestinian cause have long supported our enemies. The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem allied himself with Adolf Hitler during WWII. Yasir Arafat, chairman of the PLO and president of the PA, has repeatedly targeted and killed Americans. In 1973, Arafat ordered the execution of Cleo Noel, the American ambassador to the Sudan. Arafat was very closely aligned with the Soviet Union and other enemies of the United States throughout the Cold War. In 1991, during the Gulf War, Arafat aligned himself with Saddam Hussein, whom he praised as "the defender of the Arab nation, of Muslims, and of free men everywhere."
5. Israel has, in fact, returned most of the land that it captured during the 1967 war and right after that war offered to return all of it in exchange for peace and normal relations; the offer was rejected. As a result of the 1978 Camp David accords -- in which Egypt recognized the right of Israel to exist and normal relations were established between the two countries -- Israel returned the Sinai desert, a territory three times the size of Israel and 91 percent of the territory Israel took control of in the 1967 war.
6. In 2000, as part of negotiations for a comprehensive and durable peace, Israel offered to turn over all but the smallest portion of the remaining territories to Yasir Arafat. But Israel was rebuffed when Arafat walked out of Camp David and launched the current round of violence .
7. Yasir Arafat has never been less than clear about his goals -- at least not in Arabic. On the very day that he signed the Oslo accords in 1993 -- in which he promised to renounce terrorism and recognize Israel -- he addressed the Palestinian people on Jordanian television and declared that he had taken the first step "in the 1974 plan." This was a thinly veiled reference to the "phased plan," according to which any territorial gain was acceptable as a means toward the ultimate goal of Israel's destruction.
8. The recently deceased Faisal al-Husseini, a leading Palestinian spokesman, made the same point in 2001 when he declared that the West Bank and Gaza represented only "22 percent of Palestine" and that the Oslo process was a "Trojan horse." He explained, "When we are asking all the Palestinian forces and factions to look at the Oslo Agreement and at other agreements as 'temporary' procedures, or phased goals, this means that we are ambushing the Israelis and cheating them." The goal, he continued, was "the liberation of Palestine from the river to the sea," i.e., the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea -- all of Israel.
9. To this day, the Fatah wing of the PLO (the "moderate" wing that was founded and is controlled by Arafat himself) has as its official emblem the entire state of Israel covered by two rifles and a hand grenade -- another fact that belies the claim that Arafat desires nothing more than the West Bank and Gaza.
10. While criticism of Israel is not necessarily the same as "anti-Semitism," it must be remembered that the Middle East press is, in fact, rife with anti-Semitism. More than fifteen years ago the eminent scholar Bernard Lewis could point out that "The demonization of Jews [in Arabic literature] goes further than it had ever done in Western literature, with the exception of Germany during the period of Nazi rule." Since then, and through all the years of the "peace process," things have become much worse. Depictions of Jews in Arab and Muslim media are akin to those of Nazi Germany, and medieval blood libels -- including claims that Jews use Christian and Muslim blood in preparing their holiday foods--have become prominent and routine. One example is a sermon broadcast on PA television where Sheik Ahmad Halabaya stated, "They [the Jews] must be butchered and killed, as Allah the Almighty said: 'Fight them: Allah will torture them at your hands.' Have no mercy on the Jews, no matter where they are, in any country. Fight them, wherever you are. Wherever you meet them, kill them."
11. Over three-quarters of Palestinians approve of suicide bombings -- an appalling statistic but in light of the above facts, an unsurprising one.
The State of Israel
12. There are 21 Arab countries in the Middle East and only one Jewish state: Israel, which is also the only democracy in the region.
13. Israel is the only country in the region that permits citizens of all faiths to worship freely and openly. Twenty percent of Israeli citizens are not Jewish.
14. While Jews are not permitted to live in many Arab countries, Arabs are granted full citizenship and have the right to vote in Israel. Arabs are also free to become members of the Israeli parliament (the Knesset). In fact, several Arabs have been democratically elected to the Knesset and have been serving there for years. Arabs living in Israel have more rights and are freer than most Arabs living in Arab countries.
15. Israel is smaller than the state of New Hampshire and is surrounded by nations hostile to her existence. Some peace proposals -- including the recent Saudi proposal--demand withdrawal from the entire West Bank, which would leave Israel 9 miles wide at its most vulnerable point.
16. The oft-cited UN Resolution 242 (passed in the wake of the 1967 war) does not, in fact, require a complete withdrawal from the West Bank. As legal scholar Eugene Rostow put it, "Resolution 242, which as undersecretary of state for political affairs between 1966 and 1969 I helped produce, calls on the parties to make peace and allows Israel to administer the territories it occupied in 1967 until 'a just and lasting peace in the Middle East' is achieved. When such a peace is made, Israel is required to withdraw its armed forces 'from territories' it occupied during the Six-Day War -- not from 'the' territories nor from 'all' the territories, but from some of the territories."
17. Israel has, of course, conceded that the Palestinians have legitimate claims to the disputed territories and is willing to engage in negotiations on the matter. As noted above, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak offered almost all of the territories to Arafat at Camp David in 2000.
18. Despite claims that the Israeli settlements in the West Bank are the obstacle to peace, Jews lived there for centuries before being massacred or driven out by invading Arab armies in 1948-49. And contrary to common misperceptions, Israeli settlements -- which constitute less than two percent of the territories -- almost never displace Palestinians.
19. The area of the West Bank includes some of the most important sites in Jewish history, among them Hebron, Bethlehem, and Jericho. East Jerusalem, often cited as an "Arab city" or "occupied territory," is the site of Judaism's holiest monument. While under Arab rule (1948-67), this area was entirely closed to Jews. Since Israel took control, it has been open to people of all faiths.
20. Finally, let us consider the demand that certain territories in the Muslim world must be off-limits to Jews. This demand is of a piece with Hitler's proclamation that German land had to be "Judenrein" (empty of Jews). Arabs can live freely throughout Israel, and as full citizens. Why should Jews be forbidden to live or to own land in an area like the West Bank simply because the majority of people is Arab?
In sum, a fair and balanced portrayal of the Middle East will reveal that one nation stands far above the others in its commitment to human rights and democracy as well as in its commitment to peace and mutual security. That nation is Israel.

this comment is in response to John's and perhaps a couple of the other "commentators"...why don't who leave?...the palestinians should leave from their own land to Jordan?....where should the Isrealis go in this case?...look guys....we must look at the current situation....Israel is not just Isreal anymore....in fact since its installation as a state....it wasn't just Israel....so who should leave from where and to what place???
This argument is so insane. Can I kick you out of your house and say thats ok because your house is far less than 1/6 of a percent of the US??

wow, it was only 1/6 of the arab world, huh? a more meaningful stat is that jews who only constituted 1/3 of the population and only owned 6%of the land in the area, managed to immediately come up with 55% of palestine in the un mandate. strange math, but such are the workings of power. also, its just racist to belive that the "arab world has no differentiation and that wherever you kick an arab to in the "arab world", they are at home. stupid. but whatever works t rationalize theft. israel is run by a sick elite who have the same vision for expansion as others in history, indonesia, united states, south africa, japan, and yes, germany. this has very little to do with religion.
