Talkback
Title: #6 Jeff on the "second class"-status Name: Alicia City: State:
Jeff 1)THAT there are various Israeli-Arab representations all the way to the Knesset, the Parliament, should speak for democracy and equality in Israel. 2)THAT educational and cultural services are provided in the langauages of different ethnicities(like in Switzerland in German,French,Italian, Rheto-Romanian; in Finland in Finnish, Swedish, in Lappish; in Israel in Hebrew and in Arabic ...speak for a tolerant and equal democratic system. 3)THAT there are Israeli-Arabs, who have higher standards of living than the Jews, shows that people, who are diligent and good at what they do, can "make it" in Israel and are NOT held back by discrimination. 4)THAT there are young, talented Israeli-Arab students, who study next to Jewish students in Israeli univesities, demonstrates equal opportunity to all in Israel. Attitude-wise, I´ve not met any Israeli Jew, yet, who would have looked down on the Israeli-Arabs as "second class"! I don´t!
