lol lol lol
The Arabs living in Israel not only vote, they also sit in the knesset (Israeli parliament). They get to make policy, just as the other politicians do. Israel is a secular democracy, something far too many people seem to forget.
I know you're aware of that, though - great post! :)
Those who condemn Israel should also wonder: if indeed Israel is so terrible, why are the Israeli Arabs so content to stay there? They are free to leave any time they please; why do they not flee to one of the neighbouring Arab countries???
Answer: because they are treated as equals in Israel, as are citizens from all faiths and all backgrounds. No Arab country is anywhere near as democratic as Israel, which is why the Israeli Arabs remain there by choice.
This week, a report also mentioned how many Israeli Arabs are volunteering for the Israeli Army - the number is increasing. Indicative, don't you agree? :)

Oh they the, Israels, have Arabs as citizens, just not many of them and if they allowed those Arabs that were driven off there land to return things would be the other way around.

This is not intend for a smart answer, But, . just maybe they
have seen some of the junk we put into office, and they won't be different.,Also I guess they know their politicians, like we think we know ours, and we all make bad choices some times.
Merry Christmas

Vote or NO vote. Israel is not treating Arabs right.
And lets not forget about the greed and thirst for land that Jews have!
merry Christmas!

That is a bald faced lie!
Arab-Isreali citizens do get to vote and have been allowed since 1948, when the new Israeli government almost begged for the Palestinians to stay in Israel.
Only Arafat told the Arabs in Israel to flee. Those that stayed got FULL citizenship!
Keep your revisionist history stories to yourself!

The question is not based upon fact. Arab citizens of Israel do vote and have the same voting rights as any other Israeli citizen. There is even an Arab political party.

All Isreali citizens can vote regardless of faith,even those of Arab decent.

Just like I get offended to have other countries, Like France, Germany and even Canada, tell us how to run our business, what business do we have telling Israel how to run theirs??
They are a sovereign nation and the people of Israel have the right to voice who their nation is run, not us, not the UN and not some third world country.
