But they can't own land.

If true (and I'd like to see an up to date, non Arab, link to that please),

In checking it out, I found that the issue is in dispute with Israel claiming that Israeli Arabs are not discriminated against when it comes to possession of the Israeli land while the Israeli Arabs claim they are. What makes it difficult to determine accurately is that most of the land is not privately owned but rather is held by the gov't and leased out.

Most of the amount that's not owned by the gov't is owned by an Israeli org. called JNF. JNF also does not sell the land....instead they lease it out too. The Arabs claim that its very difficult for them to get a lease compared to the Jews. The Israeli gov't claims otherwise........that there is no discrimination.

However, the broader issue argued between you and Elroy is whether or not Israel is a democracy. Recently, there was an audit of all the major nations of the world to determine who were most democratic and who were not. These nations were divided into 4 groupings. Group one was made up of the nations most democratic and includes the US. Group 4 was the least democratic. Israel was in Group 3 along with the likes of Brazil, Mexico, Nicaragua and Sri Lanka. I am unclear why Israel had such a poor showing but I suspect it may have to do with its treatment of both the Israeli and Palestinian Arabs.
