Making a "criminal" out of Saint Israel When it comes to Victim Israel, the media "justice" turns 360 degrees A fascism that selects Israel for unfair harsh terms & gross language. When it comes to victim Israel, all hell break lose. Not only don't they appreciate Israel's reluctance from going on the lose like Arab neighbors, Syria & Jordan that "dealt" with violent "uprising" by just massacring thousands randomly. But it calls Israeli restrained minimal defense-of-lives actions against terror aggression as "aggressive". Not only don't they appreciate Israel's beautiful treatment of it's minorities including favoring it's Arab citizens over Israeli...

Israeli Arabs have equality under law http://neighbors.newstimeslive.com/opinion/letters.php?id=1031073 Letters to the Editor Feb 10 2007 In response to William Keil (letter, Jan. 14): My issue with former President Carter's book was that incorrect facts are used in the book and the charge of racism made against Israel is wrong. An employee of former President Carter quit his employ in protest against the factual errors in the book. Conclusions based on errors cannot be relied upon. Consider the following facts and decide who is practicing racism: Israel has approximately one million Arab citizens who enjoy full equality under the law. The legal...

Canadian’s film focuses on Israeli Arabs By MICHAEL SEGAL Special to The CJN http://www.cjnews.com/viewarticle.asp?id=11117 In the world of documentary films, it isn’t unusual to see Israel depicted in an unflattering light. Whether it’s the conflict with the Palestinians or the larger quagmire in the Middle East, the Jewish state is frequently portrayed negatively. Ron Furman, a Thornhill-based filmmaker, is doing his part to buck this trend. “I’m not saying Israel is perfect, but the image of it [portrayed in films] is far from the truth,” says the 28-year-old owner of Thorn Films Inc. “I want to be that person who...

'This has given Israeli Arabs a sense of belonging' http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1167467834590&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull When Avraham Burg retired from the Knesset, he left behind the dubious honor of receiving the top slot in the Labor list twice, but never receiving a cabinet appointment. On Sunday, Burg's replacement in the Labor Party, MK Ghaleb Majadle, proved that the third time could be the charm when he was approved as the country's first Arab minister.

At the beginning of December, an Israeli-Arab was arrested before he was able to execute an attack modeled on the 2002 Park Hotel Passover massacre in Netanya. The 17-year-old resident of Nazareth allegedly planned to carry out a bombing that he hoped would blow up the packed lobby or dining room of Upper Nazareth’s Plaza Hotel. He told Israeli police he had chosen the location due to its popularity with Israeli Jews and its light security.A traditionally Christian-Arab city, Nazareth, located in Northern Israel, in the Galilee, has a population of 70,000, 60 percent of whom today are Muslims. Neighboring...

Nearby residents of Beit Yatir, in the southern Hevron Hills, protested on the property Friday, claiming that the presence of the Arabs presents a danger to the area.

Arabs Faking Attacks to Earn Matriculation Diplomas (IsraelNN.com) Arab residents of Judea and Samaria are faking terror attacks, carrying knives or other weapons at IDF checkpoints in the hope of getting arrested. Doing so permits them an opportunity to spend time in an Israeli jail, where they can quietly study for a high school matriculation diploma, at no cost.

Rina Castelnuovo for The New York Times Abbas Suan practices at a run-down stadium in Yarka in northern Israel. SAKHNIN, Israel - Israel finds itself with a chance to qualify for the World Cup for the first time in 35 years, and the legs most responsible belong to a devout Muslim who faces racist taunting nearly every time he steps on the field. Abbas Suan is the captain of Bnei Sakhnin, the only Israeli Arab team in Israel's first division, a team without its own stadium or practice field but one that still managed to win the prestigious State...

Israeli-Arabs played a major role in the Oslo War, with 236 involved in various terror attacks that killed 136 and wounded 790 since the beginning of the terror offensive in September 2001. In 2004 alone, 50 Arabs with Israeli citizenship were part of 25 terror cells uncovered by Israeli security forces. One of the most recent cases was that of Ashraf Kaisi, an Israeli-Arab from Baka al-Gharbiya who took a major role in the most recent attack. He transported the suicide terrorist bomber to the Stage Club on Tel Aviv’s beachfront several weeks ago, after having helped him choose the...

Society molds cultures just as cultures mold society. There is always a two-way process which occurs between these two organizing principles of a people. The Israeli Arabs have grown up in a democratic culture with a free press, honest bureaucracies, a legal system which by the standards of Arafatistan and much of the Arab world is a model of probity. Now comes a report of their apathy regarding Arafat's death that contrasts sharply with the unrestrained pandemonium which was a feature of Arafat's burial in Ramallah. As some commentators have noted, the barely restrained riot that marked Arafat's burial was...

My Arab Neighbors by Sara Yoheved Rigler I live in the walled Old City of Jerusalem, on the edge of the Jewish Quarter. A two-minute walk from my house is the Arab shuk. When I first came here 19 years ago, the shuk was a bustling bazaar, which drew crowds of foreign tourists and Israelis eager to experience the exotic aromas and tastes of a genuine Middle Eastern marketplace in the heart of modern Israel. I, too, was enticed by the open stalls of fragrant spices heaped up in colorful piles, dried fruits and grains, mouth-watering Levantine sweets, and hand-crafted...
