Right. Protected by whom?
Just remember ... in the future ... when someone advises Israel (in their own opinion) to “take over all the Palestinian lands” (from the land gained in the 1967 war) — that this person is talking about exactly what you’re referring to here, a “protected minority” ... otherwise known as the ONE-STATE SOLUTION or as a “Bi-National State” ... or just STUPIDLY REFERRED TO as “Israel should just take over all their land”!
This is what Prime Minister Benjamin Metanyahu is dead-set against ... that ONE-STATE SOLUTION!
