@MrTralyalya Palestinian Arabs dont have equal rights with Israelis because theyre governed by the Palestinian Authority,not by the Government of Israel.

Jews arent allowed move freely in the territories, thats why you never see any in cities like Ramallah & Bethlehem.The PA's dream to expel every last Jew from a would-be Palestinian state compared with the civil liberties Israeli Arabs (living in Israel proper) enjoy pretty much states exactly WHICH side wants to enforce apartheid

@valeagathon Ah, so you say that the Khmer Rouge didn't commit a genocide in Cambodia, right? Well, that's an interesting point of view, Never go there! They're one of the most lovely ppl on the planet, but you'd have a very bad time with them, with your opinion. Obviously you'd despise them and obviously you have no morals at all!... It's only genocide when it's convenient for yourself. You're a piece of shit, sorry to say. Then let me be free about denying the Jewish holocaust too, is it nice?

@ConOBri Once again, like I said. Israel is a democracy. If people want to choose to be a part of that democracy then they will enjoy full and equal rights. If people want to be governed by their own authority, such as the Palestinian Authority, then they can do just that. This only proves Israel's tolerance, it does not prove any kind of discrimination. But, if you choose to be governed by one authority, what gives you the right to enjoy another government's authority???

@ConOBri And guess who uprooted them..the Israeli government! And 8500 jewish ppl were uprooted from Gaza in order to give back that territory as well to free it from the "jews," because as we all know the Arabs do not hate the Israeli's for being Israeli's- they hate them for being Jews! There is a highway far outisde of Jericho which was built by the Palestinian Authority so Israeli's wouldn't be able to enter the city or even drive through it. But, there are so many Arabs in Israel. Why?

[timmcgrw4]

@ConOBri You are obviously confused about the demographics in Israel. Arabs are very much present within Israeli borders, or "flooded" by Arabs as you say. They make up more than 20% of Israel proper. Does it matter what Israel calls the West bank? Just because they call it Judea or Samaria does not bring it under their control. And as to the Jewish settlers that had "flooded" the disputed territories, do you know that almost all were uprooted and thrown out of their homes in that area?

[ConOBri]

@timmcgrw4 Then, why is the West Bank called as "Judea and Samaria" by Israel, like it is a part of Israel, and why does Israel floods it with Jewish settlers, with Israeli rights, while the other people of "Judea and Samaria" are not granted any Israeli rights?... Either consider the Jews in the West Bank as Palestinians or take them back to the Israeli proper borders! The Israelis were the ones that flooded it with settlers, it was not the Arabs who flooded Israel with Palestinians!

[timmcgrw4]

@ConOBri If you are not talking about Isreal's proper borders, then you are not talking about Israel. You are talking about some disputed territories that may or may not be under Palestinian or Israeli control. The ppl living in the Palestinian territories do not want to be a part of Israel, so how could they have Israeli rights?

[ConOBri]

@timmcgrw4 I was not talking about democracy inside the proper borders of Israel. But Israel claims all Palestine as its own, and the Palestinian people don't have any political and civil rights in Israel, so it's not a democracy. Why the Jews living in the West Bank have political and civil rights just like Israelis, and Palestinians do not? Why then, the Jews in the West Bank won't be aknowledged as Palestinians, and have the same rights as any Palestinian, rather than as Israelis?

Only three out of thirteen parties (and 11 out of 120 members) in the Knesset can be considered to represent Arab views, one of which is predominately Jewish.

[timmcgrw4]

@ConOBri No your wrong. It is a democracy. My father is an Arab Israeli and my entire family lives in Israel and they live a wonderful life, with full equal rights, and have members in the Knesset as well. And they do not "tolerate," they welcome them to participate.

[valeagathon]

@ConOBri "jew"to refer to the follower of a religion,and "hebrew"to identify the ethnicity wich mostly practices judaism.

we would make a lot of mental order,would we?

[valeagathon]

@ConOBri small correction,no wait,two correction

first,there's no israeli constitution(funny,isn't it?they only have some few essential laws wich act as constitution.they wanted to make one,but the day after they declared independance they got busy,and we know the rest),second,it is jewish in the sense of ethnicity,nor religion

israel has big amounts of atheists and agnostics who,anyway,are ethnic jews and identify themselves as jews.

maybe it's better to start using the term (continue)
