Racism is used to readily. If Israeli Arabs are serious then they should look to normal countries for examples, everywhere has racism, to the most liberal society to the most conservative (Arab States discriminate amongst tribes and affliations). Discrimination in Israeli has more to do with their mixed and often hostile loyality to the State of Israel, as well as their culture (job wise, mobility, language, restrictions in their own culture) Israelis can not be blamed for feeling like they are just Israeli for convenience and not with heart -take their controversial Members of Parliament - comments and speeches very anti Israel, associations of said some see our destruction. They are not exactly the most patriotic or Israeli in heart. And I am not talking about every one but just in general what we see. Think, if you Israeli Arab was on the other foot, what would you think?
