I love Hebrew, in fact i`m enamored with Hebrew. Although i have yet to visit Israel, i imagine the most exciting moment is to enter a country in which Hebrew is spoken on a daily basis, a complete triumph of Zionism (not that im saying i am in fact a zionist). But this seems to be asking for trouble. To my knowledge Israeli Arabs are 20% of the population of Israel Proper. The claims of discrimenation and disenfranchisement have valid points. This will only add to it. You cannot demand (as Avigdor Lieberman did) for Arab Israelis to feel loyal to Israel and then act as if they aren`t part of Israeli society.
