that is just shows how much you know. There are arabs who are not only just Israeli citizens but also members of Knesset (Parlament). There is an equality between arab and Israeli citizens. I know that. There is an inequality in immigration laws that would accept Jews without restriction while non-Jewish immigration is restricted. That's my point. How does your American value that all men are created equal accept that inequality in immigration law? A Jew from Argentina can be an Israeli citizen, but a Palestinian child born in Israel occupied territory cannot? But that is tied to the origin of Israel. I don't care if it's tied to my shoe, its institutionalized inequality which discriminates against millions of local people (mostly Muslim) in favor of millions of people across the planet. It's unamerican. BTW while arabs are members of the Israeli government I do not recall any of the arab countries with jews in the government Don't confuse my criticisms of Israel with support for Arab governments.

RE: "There is an equality between arab and Israeli citizens" AK, you are truly clueless. Even my Israeli contacts are very honest about the unfortunate discrimination and inequality that exits between Arabs and Israeli citizens. For starters, look at the Israeli laws regarding schools. My Israeli contacts rattled off a list of inequalities that even goes beyond schools. Arabs are extremely oppressed in Israeli. The only one that might not know this, might be a RW from our isolated America. Your insight on foreign matters makes Bush look like a genius.
