Israel’s Population
6.1 million
The figure breaks down to 6.1 million Jews, or roughly 75 percent, and 1.68 million Arabs, or 21 percent...
These Arabs have lived in Israel since it’s birth, by choice. The are peaceful and conduct themselves in an honorable manner.
They haven’t been a big problem for Israel, and it’s not reasoned to treat them as if they have been.
I understand where you are coming from, but it’s not reasoned to turn on these people. All that would do is confirm some of the worst things said against Israel by the foreign (to Israel) Arabs.
I don’t understand your numbers (total population vs the two components thereof)
I suppose...that Jews in Israel have more firsthand knowledge of the Arabs in their midst than we do from clear across the pond. They can decide what’s best; I for one am convinced that Israeli Jews can smell a terrorist; when was the last time an El Al airliner was hijacked (1968, IIRC)?
Not all Jews feel that Arabs do the jobs that Jews will not do. I always believed that one of the foundation blocks of the State of Israel was full Jewish employment in all walks of life; Histradut was established for that purpose. Should Arabs be employed while there is unemployment among Jews?
Are there no Jewish fishmongers with the skills of that trade?
