Referring to those folks as Muslim Israelis would be, I think, the worst option of all. Because oil and water don’t mix, and never will.

I think you would be surprised about this if you would visit Israel. I remember 20 years ago pulling into a gas station, and Arab attendant stopped his conversation to pump gas for me. (They still do this in Israel!) He must have noticed that I had a rental car and he asked me where I was from. I answered, and then he continued, "Welcome to Israel, my friend."

Interesting post there. But the Arab you talked to lived in Israel proper, right? Would an Arab who lived in the “occupied” West Bank be as friendly to you? And would he be as friendly to an Israeli Jew?
