Poll: Half of Israeli high schoolers oppose equal rights for Arabs
By Or Kashti


Nearly half of Israel's high school students do not believe that Israeli-Arabs are entitled to the same rights as Jews in Israel, according to the results of a new survey released yesterday. The same poll revealed that more than half the students would deny Arabs the right to be elected to the Knesset.

...

"Jewish youth have not internalized basic democratic values," said Prof. Daniel Bar-Tal, one of the conference organizers.

...

The survey, which also revealed that a relatively high number of youth plan on voting and that democracy is still the preferred system of government, indicates "a gap between the consensus on formal democracy and the principles of essential democracy, which forbid the denial of rights to the Arab population," the official said.

"The differences in positions between secular and religious youth, which are only growing sharper from a demographic standpoint, need to be of concern to all of us because this will be the face of the state in another 20-30 years," said Bar-Tal. "There is a combination of fundamentalism, nationalism, and racism in the worldview of religious youth."

Ironic, since Arabs throughout the Middle East are denied basic freedom, human rights and civil liberties.

Israeli Arabs are mocked outside of Israel for having it so good.
 
just like house negroes! Good thing we have slavery in place to benefit ******* who would otherwise be throwing spears at each other in Africa, RIGHT little chosen boy?


If jews were held above this same fire in the US as non-jews are in israel we'd be awash in implored cries of antisemitism. As it is, the chosen will always try to validate rationalized hatred inherent in zionism.

Disappointing, but given the generations of conflict with Arabs, the recent words and actions of some Arab MK's and the relentless hostility towards Israel and Jews coming from the territories and from the Arab nations, it is not surprising. It is heartening, however, that Israelis continue to examine their evolving culture and society, to identify its failings and shortcomings and to set about correcting them. If only the Arabs, in the territories and the Arab nations, were able to honestly examine their own negative attitudes towards Jews and Israel and to identify them as obstacles standing between them and peace prosperity and, perhaps, an eventual state, a brighter future for the ME might be possible.
