>It was a forced birth......the Israelis accepted the partitioning, the Arabs did not. Israelis wanted the Palestinians to live in Jordan, the Palestinians want their own country. And there has not been peace since.

Once again, the Palestinians could've stayed. Many of the ones that did are now citizens and there are, I believe, three Arab members of Knesset, though one is currently on trial for calling for the destruction of Israel.


Z, doesn't the Knesset have about 120 seats? I understand the Muslim population is about 20% of the total Israeli population.

If I am correct in my facts, then it would appear that the Muslims do not have very good representation. Are there laws that would prohibit them from running for office?
