WhatsappWhen it comes to Israel, the truth is a scarce commodity. There are more myths about the life of Arabs in Israel than perhaps any other group of people in any other country.
כשהייתי בלונדון בחודש שעבר יצאתי לבדוק כמה האנשים בעיר בה שוכן המטה המרכזי של אמנסטי מכירים את המציאות של הערבים החיים תחת “אפרטהייד ישראלי”…

Is Israel an apartheid state?
I asked the British people what they know about Israel and specifically the Arabs who lives in Israel… pic.twitter.com/2YpwuyEfT2
To put it very simply, Arabs in Israel have a great life. But if that is the case, why do so many Arabs yell, scream, and throw stones at the Israel Armed Forces. The answer is not as simple as the question. Not all Arabs are the same. Just like any nationality in nearly any country, there are differences between different groups.
There are moderate Arabs who are perfectly happy to live in Israel as they know what the alternatives are over the borders of Israel. There are non-moderate Arabs who are NOT happy living in Israel despite their knowledge of the alternatives over the borders of Israel. And then there are the Arabs who spend their day and nights doing everything they can to destroy the State of Israel from within.
For the last 100+ years, these three categories of Arabs have existed. From time to time, the more moderate wing of Arabs seem to rise up to more powerful positions. But just as quickly as they rise, they usually lose power to the more radical Muslim groups. Throughout the State of Israel, there are different Arab groups that dominate in different areas of the State of Israel.
The moderate groups do not have much power among the Arabs, but if they choose to join in with Israeli society and not fight Israeli society, they can and succeed in making inroads into the highest levels of medicine, Supreme Court, and even the Israeli Army.
How many people protesting the rights of minorities in Israel know that a non-Jew was the successful head of Israel’s coronavirus task force for many months in 2021? Israel is not just a great place to be an Arab. It’s a great place to be a minority in general. In neighboring Arab countries, most minorities live in constant fear of persecution.
