The 60% requirement is more like misguided affirmative action similar to what is there in the United States or India. Affirmative action should only be based on economic conditions and not based on any other parameters. Just imagine if you are a Jew born in an extremely abusive, financially poor family where the father or mother or both parents are alcoholics and exhibit all forms of abusive behavior with constant arguments about money. You don't fare well in that environment, are in constant trauma and your cognitive ability is affected, but you may get 70% in the entrance exam. Now, the state inadvertently ends up abusing you by saying, you don't qualify but a economically better off Arab who manages to get 60% gets in? These kind of affirmative action initiatives ends up creating more problems, is abusive and breeds resentment.

There might be no wall or no soldiers. And your Arab neighbors were perfectly willing to annex you, which I would like to point out Israel hasn't done. They're not evil and neither are you.

[@yunison21]

@@johnrollex680 You sound nice and all.

Some - not all - of our Jewish brothers prefer to conveniently forget to mention this period of bloodshed - yes, that was the time of nothing less than "ethnic cleansing" not only by forcing people to move, but by mass murdering those of the the locals, who refused to give up the land they inherited from their ancestors - the land which they loved and took care of for many many centuries! WHY do you highlight the neighboring countries attacks and MAKE IT SOUND LIKE "the poor Jews came after WW2 holocaust and instead of being helped, they were attacked"? WHY are you "forgetting" that Palestinians (Muslims and Christians and Jews and Druze and Beduins and many other aboriginal locals) were not asked if they wanted to give the better and bigger parts of their lands to newcomers? Instead they were murdered in case they didn't want to make room to foreigners merely on the grounds that "God promised the land to those foreign Jews"?

[@johnrollex680]

@@yunison21 my understanding (and correct me if I'm wrong), is that violence broke out on both sides immediately following the UN resolution. Now I really have no idea what the plan was that the Jews were going to implement. However they didn't really get a choice in the matter seeing as how when they arrived Palestine was already in the midst of a civil war, and then immediately following it they got invaded. I think that it's fair to say the Jews were in a rather bad situation. I don't know if you've ever seen pictures of the Holocaust, but they aren't pretty. It doesn't mean that the Palestinians weren't also in a bad situation. Both can be true at the same time. And in fact that's how I view the situation. It's also worth noting that the Israeli parliament condemned the deir yassin massacre specifically. And it seems that that specific incident is shrouded in so much propaganda and politics that we may never know what really happened. Apparently the survivors were interviewed and said that there were rapes, but then a survivor came forward and said before God that it didn't happen, and Israel refuses to release photographic evidence of the incident. Additionally none of the people involved were convicted, which I'm certainly not here to defend. You also have the issue of settlements which really have no legal, or even much of a strategic justification. It seems the primary motivation is just that netanyahu is catering to the Zionist base. but if you want me to say that Palestinians are 100% in the right and everything they do is justified, and that this whole situation is Israel's fault and it would be simple for them to just leave, obviously that's ridiculous. To me it's a complex issue. I understand if you don't feel that way.

But politicians in the USSR would point to their document and say 'LOOK LEGALLY WE HAVE SO MANY MORE RIGHTS THAN YOU'. But as Justice Scalia described it - it's a 'paper guarantee'. It doesn't mean anything in practical terms - it's for politicians to point to in order to score points. What Israel is doing may or may not be the right thing to do (I am not knowledgeable enough on the subject to comment), but based on pure numbers, he is correct that while he is "allowed" to get citizenship, in practical terms, he is not.

It makes no difference if you are Jewish, Christian, Muslim or from outer space the Israeli gov will not wait for a court battle over this issue. They will take it down that’s it. Because the Arabs are breaking the law they then blame Israel. There are a lot of shady builders in Israel. Everyone remembers the synagogue collapse from 2 years ago in Givat Zeev. That was because they moved into the building before they had the permits and it hadn’t been inspected. Many people were injured and 3 died.

I want everyone to understand - if this person would ask a Jew, a repatriant from Russia or Ukraine he would get the same list of problems: 1. when you look for job - in particular types of job whey ask you if you served in IDF, and most older repatrians did not serve. 2. Any non-religious, and not-keeping-kosher chef (Jewish or not Jewish) probably would no be able to work in a glat-kosher restaurant, because where are alot of rules, and mistakes cannot be made. 3. And yes, Russian Jews could also say they there are not enough Russians in the government. There is about 1,500,000 Russian speaking Jews in Israel. probably much more since the Ukrainian war. About 2,000,000 Arabs. There is a lot of benefits that only Arabs receive in Israel and not Jews: 1. free education 2. free health care. 3. Arabs often build housing without permits 4. there is Arnona (some type of housing tax) that is a real burden for everyone, and in my city is about 800 shekel a month. In Arab municipalities they pay at least 60% less of this tax. 5. Muslims can get married in Israel, atheists (most Russians are) or non-Jews (also plenty) need to go abroad to get married. 6. Arabic is the second official language of Israel, Russian language is obviously not. 7. There are tons of public schools in every city that teach only in Arabic. You cannot find public schools that teach in Russian or in English, or in any other language. BTW, all the Arabs in the video speak with a heavy accent, some hardly can speak Hebrew. Because, although they were born in Israel, they learned in Arabic schools. It's a choice, they could choose Hebrew school, no one forces them to attend Arabic school. Finally, when my family came to Israel from Soviel Union, we totally felt like second type citizens, my parents (an engineer and a pianist) worked as cleaners for a decade. What I am saying here - as a Russian speaking person I could feel discriminated in Israel but I am not. Because I am not constantly looking for the signs of being discriminated. We build this country together! Post Soviet community brought lots of incredible positive things to Israel. We mad it better. Just like any other nation here in Israel. The question was simple - "Do you think that you are under occupation?" Their reasons are laughable! This is not occupation. Google what other nations under occupation go thru. As a Russian Jew I can explain to you how it was during Nazi occupation. And that nice Arab student from Haifa University rightfully complains that "there is no trust between Arabs and Jews, just like there is no trust between religious Jews and non-religious Jews in Israel". He is right. As a nation - up until recently we were not very united. It has changed because of the recent war. Maybe after Oct 7 this your man understood better why it's hard for Jews and Christians to trust Muslim community. We have t*rror at*aks every few weeks, carried out by Arabs. It has been like this since I remember it, and I remember it since 1991 when I came to Israel. At the same time we absolutely adore Arab citizens who serve in IDF for example or, who simply supports Israel - their country that gives them so much.

She does not give any real rebuttal to what he said and even then he does not push her any further. This is absolutely obvious and completely normal. Sorry, but the fact you see that as "man splaining" seems in fact strongly biased to me. 8:20 is just him trying to understand what is she trying to say. I do agree it is not his role to share his experience in general, but he is not sharing his point of view for the sake of sharing it, he just tries to push her forward with the explanation.

The problem is that there is no division between religion and state in Israel, in Canada you are not allowed to pass laws based on one set of religious beliefs anymore. Of course there are still remnants of outdated shit in Canada too as a result of Canada being a settler-colonialist land that was historically dominated by Christians, I am Canadian myself and can recognize this. The official laws of Israel are intertwined with old religious laws that are outdated in any modern society. For example the fact that Israeli women cannot legally get a divorce unless their husband agrees to it, or the fact that Jewish Israelis go to other countries like Cyprus in order to marry non-Jewish Israelis bc they cannot do that within Israel. They have to go to another country to marry the person they want if he or she is not Jewish. These are just a couple of ridiculous examples and it is more than fair for the main non-Jewish minority in Israel to feel that it affects their lives and persecutes them. Things like marrying whoever you want is a basic freedom, you're just being deliberately obtuse and simple-minded. If tomorrow Trudeau proclaimed that if you're a non-Christian in Canada and you want to marry a Canadian Christian, you have to go to another country to do it, what do you think the reaction would be? Try putting your brain cells to work.

​@buttsufancypantsu1644 This is simply false. There is literally apartheid in "Israel". Palestinians are issued different IDs and do not have full rights under the law, especially in the occupied territories. There are checkpoints for palestinian people guarded by the military. In the west bank there are even roads that the palestinians are forbidden from walking on and it is enforced by the IOF. Even former IOF soldiers have broken their silence and talked about the horrors of the occupation and the way they were taught to dehumanize, mistreat and scare the palestinian people. They talk abiut how any IOF soldier has the legal right to bust into a Palestinian home in the middle of the night and use it as a temporary military base. The Palestinians are also not granted the right of Return and can definitely not "live and work anywhere". Palestinians are regularly shot by extremist settlers and the IOF and they do not face repercussions in the law, but a palestinian child can get shot and killed for throwing a stone at a soldier and its justified. In fact, Palestinians regularly get arrested and out in detention centers WITHOUT trial. The state of Israel didn't even exist until 1948, when the palestinian people were violently displaced and killed in order to take over the land (the Nakba). The people in the Gaza strip have been living under a full blockade where Israel has complete control and say over the skies, sea, drinking water, food, medicine and anything that enters the strip. It is completely surrounded by walls and people are only allowed to leave with special israeli work permits or other permits, that are often denied. Their only airport was also bombed by 'Israel' years ago so there is no way to leave unless you have special permission. Do actual research into the lives of Palestinians and stop lying and minimizing the violence and existence of the occuption. I know there is a lot of Israeli propaganda and false historical narratives but put in some effort and do not spread this idea that it's JUST racism like everywhere else. 11.000 people have been killed already by the genocidal bombardment of the Gaza strip in just the last 40 days, while they were already being murdered and attacked before that.

Agreed with most comments on here that occupation and discrimination may have cause and effect but they are not the same question. The lady that the interviewer hostily silenced was closer to answering the question. The lack of peace due to the occupation DOES limit her travel to other Arab countries. The guy talking about universities being a place of dialogue and that conversation and acknowledgement is a good start. The interviewer immediately pushed back emphasizing that there is no discrimination. I also don’t understand why you didn’t let people speak in their preferred language off the bat since you clearly have English, Hebrew, and the ability to translate from Arabic. The reason this is important is that when people don’t speak in their preferred language they sound to others like they are less intelligent/eloquent. Also the interviewer keeps asking people if they feel oppressed and if he doesn’t agree he pushes back with generalims like I work in Tel Aviv uni and I see “a lot” of Arabs. I think these conversations are important and this dialogue is a good start just giving heartfelt constructive criticism to the interviewer.

@@skpn123 you misunderstood. I'm not inferring anything. I'm just saying it's good that Bedouin Israelis identify with Israel and not palestine. Arabs aren't required to serve in the IDF but Bedouins often volunteer to serve, which is good.

[@skpn123]

Thank you for explaining your perspective @@michaelzhuang9761 - Where I got confused - Bedouins are a group of Arab nomads who have historically inhabited the Arabian and Syrian Deserts - ALL Israelis are required to join the IDF if eligible for health reason etc and females have some further expemptions that some are eligible for. Many of the Arabs in my son's unit were among those who chose to stay on post compulsory service which is very encouraging to see as they have no obligation to continue at all........ Bedouin Arabs often really make the most of their IDF service and bring particular gifts and resilience. They are appreciated.

[@mindyourbusiness4440]

Are you assuming Israeli citizenship is something every palestinian is entitled to?! Cuz 90% will never get it and it's those who live under occupation. I stopped arguing with israeli sympathisers but it's my first time seeing someone denying that there is a problem in the first place. If israel offers citizenship to all the indigenous palestinians there will be no problem, but no fing way israel is gonna do that

As a Jewish Israeli it saddens me to hear these stories. I do not doubt their truth. I think the Arab Israeli population is a going to become a bigger problem unless as many as possible of these, many of them relatively simple examples of discrimination, are put right. Having said that, it will take a long time no matter what for Arabs to feel fully Israeli.

[@Pazu84Vaucluse]

Unfortunately Islam will never surrender to non Muslims. Muslims in Europe also play the victim card. Let’s not forget how Islam conquered so many countries.

At least don't segregate the living quarters. Discrimination is everywhere but if is toned down, the Arab won't feel that worse off.

They play fast and loose with the word “occupation”. I think they call everyday inconveniences and perceived or real “racist” slights “occupation”.

[@betinakieferalonso7624]

It's really annoying how disrespectful you are towards people. It's not that difficult to understand how someone can be technically a citizen and have rights, but effectively and concretely don't actually have access to those rights. Just look up the racial aspect of voter suppression in the US.

The feeling of occupation is just that, a feeling, which we should also respect and all can experience. The feeling that your land and your people is ruled by foreigners, that you have to obey to laws you didn't vote for. That's the feeling of occupation, it would be more accurate to call it a desire for freedom, for your people to be the ones who shape Their own destiny.

[@socraticprivilege5272]

I didn't know that freedom meant that the rulers belong to the same extended family as you. Does that mean that all white people who were living in the Confederate States of America were experiencing freedom?

[@kjkh3104]

Jews are not foreigners. The only people that have more than 1000 years of history there as a nation and have had continous presence in the land are foreigners, but people that settled in the last 300 years are the indigenous people.

[@CanadianMonarchist]

Aren’t Arabs able to vote?

[@beebee242]

Yes, spot on. If the word ‘occupation’ is off putting for some, the answers to these questions are still reflecting their collective experience. Occupation of the mind.

If it is not under Arab / Muslim domination then it is an occupation.

[@refaeltaf2552]

It's funny to see that everyone doesn't know how to define "occupation", there is discrimination but they didn't take away any basic right

[@linoyo1]

If living in Israel means living under occupation, then occupation is a PARADISE. The Israeli Arabs have the same rights as the Israeli Jews, and they actually have less commitments then the Israeli Jews. The Israeli Arabs aren’t obligated to serve in the army, and although they can choose to do national service instead (for 1/2 years) they usually choose not to. they get much more scholarships to university then the Israeli Jews. They are accepted to the the universities much easily then others. They are doctors, managers, scientists, parliament members. They live in a prospering, vibrant and democratic country. They should thank god everyday when they wake up that they live in Israel and that they don’t live under the Palestinian Authority, which would have made their life miserable and would have made this country just like any other non-democratic, violent and poor Country in the Middle East.
