#1 Coming from Al Arabiya (Saudi it is rich. BTW, Bedouins (discriminated in Arab countries) don't face racism, Druze (who aren't even admitted in Saudi Arabia) don't face racism, Christian Arabs (who aren't even admitted in Saudi Arabia) don't face racism and, if Israeli Arabs weren't in bed with terrorists they wouldn't face racism

#2 For those (many) "individuals" who did things like cheer every time Israel was hit by a Scud during GW I would stop doing things like that and start getting upset, it would help my sympathy factor.

Until then, they deserve every bit and more.

#3 I discriminate against people who try to kill me too. It's something that I'm trying to get past.

#4 Too slowly for my taste, but surely, Israelis beginning to understand that Ben Gurion made a BIG mistake in 1948.

#8 A "crying baby" graphic would work too, but I don't see one of them in the Photos selection either.

#9 "Arab" is not a race. It's a linguistic group.

#10 "Discrimination is regularly apparent in state resource allocations in every field, and Palestinian Arabs continue to be excluded from the centers of power and underrepresented in decision-making public institutions, and in the general public sphere," Yousef Jabareen, law lecturer at Haifa University and director of the Nazareth-based Arab Center for Law and Policy told AlArabiya.net

So, if this is all true, how come you aren't cleaning toilets or driving a cab, perfesser?

#11 In the Middle East's "only democracy"

Funny though a bit OT, in an entry copying and pasting a wires blurb about arab parties & MP being barred from israeli election, noted (everything's relative) rightwing blogger Daoudal used the same "only democracy" title... no background, nothing, past the not-so-subtle subtext. And, he does speak for the mainstream french rightwing (what's left of it), since IIRC pépé lepen did a public statement comdemning Israel for all the usual sins of brutality, disproportionality, arrogance,... but, anyway, this just shows again the decay of french intellectual & political life, there is no actual right past random individuals, as an organized or semi-organized movement, just a bitter mixed, fringe of french statist, sovereignty fetichists, unacknowledged socialists, people mired in a "last stand" ideology that only feeds on its doomed end... all united by their rejection of the "Empire", of capitalism, often of Christianity (the fundie fringe Catholics are dhimmis in training who prefer the pure & rugged muslims to the decadent West), of juices, of course, of classical liberalism,... in their collective minds, they've already integrated the notion that they lost, and are now part of the Third world, this is why they more (putin, who's their real hero, chavez, who's a bit behind) or less (ahmadinejad) roots for their strongmen.

#12 Deny Israel's existence and call for war against the Jews and the Arabs wonder why their political party is banned from elections and members eyed warily? Chutzpah must really be an Arab word.

#13 All Israeli Arabs should be free to move to the Islamic paradise that is Gaza, right?
