Study: Some Arab Israelis Prefer Speaking Hebrew
Israel National News ^ | June 13, 2007 | Avraham Zuroff

A leading Egyptian expert on Islamic culture is concerned about the growing trend of Arabs living in Israel who pepper their language with Hebrew. “Palestinians inside Israel have always resisted Judaization and Hebraization. They have to insist on preserving their identity and not giving in to Israeli set-ups,” Dr. Mohammed Imara told the Al Arabiya news network.

Imara, who lectures at Cairo’s Al Azhar Al Sharit Islamic Research Academy, noted that in some Israeli towns, up to 30 percent of Arabs prefer speaking Hebrew over Arabic. About 60 percent prefer Arabic, while 10 percent speak English. “In other towns, it is the other way around and Hebrew is dominant,” he added. He faults the Israeli educational system for the Arabic language’s loss of popularity among Israeli Arabs.

Look who is calling the kettle black! After quoting an Islamic theologian who called on the death of Egypt's Coptic population, the "enlightened" professor laments Israeli Arabs preferring the Hebrew language. Perhaps the cultural exchange might "moderate" their views towards Jews?

They prefer going to Jewish hospitals and being treated by Jewish doctors, too.

Just another example of more mind control Islam wants over its followers, don’t speak this, don’t wear that, don’t have Christian or Jewish friends, no freedom to decide for themselves and even to interpret anything they see.
Mohamm_mad knew his ideas/lies could not stand the light of day so he had to imprison his follwers and shackle their minds to get them to die for his aspirations.

Just tell the clerics to STFU,punks.. live you own disgusting hate filled life..punish yourselves dorks..

Sounds like a great argument for a common language nation.

It also shows that when given a choice, some will assimilate into other societies. It also shows that the rulers of Islam do not approve in assimilation in that direction.

Peppering their language with Hebrew doesn’t mean anything. Can you guess what these Israeli Arabs think of Israel?
