Re: All things related to Hryastan
Noam Chomsky and Norm Finkelstein aren't Israeli citizens.
Did you even read the whole thing? Does this sound like a democracy to you?
"There have been dark days in the past for the Arabs of Israel, such as when six were killed in 1976 protesting the confiscation of large tracts of Arab Israeli land, or in 2000 when 13 were killed in riots that followed Ariel Sharon’s walk about the revered al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem.
And there have been periods when Arab Israelis have been treated as the enemy – during the state’s early years of martial law, and when they protested Israel’s assault on Hamas in Gaza at the end of 2008."

“Rights of Arab Citizens of Israel:
* Though Arabs citizens are a national indigenous minority entitled to full equality, they have been subjected to systemic and institutional discrimination in all aspects of life since the establishment of the State.
*Whereas Arabs in Israel account for 20% of the population, the area of jurisdiction of all Arab authorities consists of only 2.5% of the area of Israel.
*Social and institutional barriers have prevented Arab citizens from acquiring land or leasing it in more than 80% of the country.
*Mixed towns: 90,000 Arab citizens of the State live in mixed towns–Ramle, Lod, Acco, Haifa, and Yaffo. Vast discrepancies in infrastructure, maintenance, and services between Arab and xxxish neighborhoods in the same town is (sic) abundantly clear; sometimes there are even walls separating the Arab and xxxish populations.”
