but if you recall the late seventies, early to mid eighties when Palestinians by the tens of thousands entered Israel everyday for work the outlook was one that the two people were going to merge or eventually be entitled to all services that regular Israelis were getting.

I traveled to Israel in the mid 1980's just at the time the first intefada was beginning. In the beginning it meant that the Arabs would close their shops at the prime part of the day for tourists (although you could knock on the door and be admitted).

I had grown up along the Texas border when hispanics were assumed to be a permanant class of field hands or maids. The Arabs seemed to be treated just the same. Things were changing in Texas by the 1980s and Israel seemed like a throwback to those earlier times.
