Racist Discrimination Against Israeli Arabs - by Stephen Lendman
Israel discriminates against and persecutes its own non-Jewish citizens
According to the Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI), Arab citizens (below called Israeli Arabs) "are discriminated (against) in almost every aspect of their lives," including:
- employment;
- education;
- healthcare;
- housing;
- land;
- infrastructure;
- political representation;
- legislation;
- personal safety;
- socioeconomic status;
- family unification; and
- virtually all other aspects of their lives. According to ACRI:
"One of the most important principles in a democracy is to protect the minority against....tyranny. A democratic state is by nature pluralistic and respectful of diversity among its citizens, and enables each group within its population that so wishes to maintain all the components of its own identity, including its heritage, culture, and national identity."
