In fact, before 1967, when the West Bank belonged to Jordan, IT WAS A CAPITAL OFFENSE TO SELL PROPERTY TO JEWS... It's still a capital offence today under the Palestinian Authority.

Prior to the establishment of the State of Israel the population numbers of Jews in many Arab countries was considerable. Many yet remain there. After 1948 the situation changed. If there was no Jewish State building there would have been no adverse actions against Jews. The Arab vote in Israel is negligible, and ineffective, but if they were to have real power than other actions would have to be taken. You can see this in the "Right of Return" for Palestinians who have been displaced by the Zionists. Their numbers would be a danger to the State, and even if they never lifted a gun or knife to a Israeli Jew, they would have too much power. That cannot be allowed! When Martin Luther King was no threat to the establishment, no one bothered him. As soon as he started to create boycotts and organizing workers, things changed. It is the same with the Arabs. If they had true democratic powers, such as obtaining building permits, getting a fair share of water for their communities, and not having to carry ID cards such as when the Whites in South Africa imposed on the Black majority. So the Arab vote/power is an illusion and an effective tool/symbol of how seemingly democratic Israel is to the viewing world. It is an old story....
