>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?

Well, they have to be citizens, and while I don't know the stats (one of my friends does, I'll ask him in the morning), and there's no way that 20% of the citizens of Israel are Arabs- maybe 20% of the residents.
