| Let me remind you that Singapore is an authoritarian state, not a democracy. Our state, Israel, is a democracy. We therefore respect (must) the rights of the minority, while the majority rules. As far as your comparisons, there were not suicide bombers - citizens of Israel. Israeli Arabs rarely identify themselves with the Palestinian National movement, although they are sometimes pushed to do this by Israeli right and the extreme Arab left. They are our citizens, and they have the right to be included in the national symbols like Anthem, Flag, etc. |
