Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu took to social media to apologise for last yearâs notorious election-day comment, when he warned that âthe Arabs are coming out to vote in drovesâ â a reference to the fifth of Israelâs population who are Palestinian.
In videos released last week in English and Hebrew, Netanyahu urged Palestinian citizens to become more active in public life. They needed to âwork in droves, study in droves, thrive in drovesâ, he said. âI am proud of the role Arabs play in Israelâs successâ.

Pointedly, Ayman Odeh, head of the Palestinian-dominated Joint List party, noted that 100,000 Bedouin citizens could not watch the video because Israel denies their communities electricity, internet connections and all other services.
Swiftly and predictably, the reality of life for Israelâs 1.7 million Palestinians upstaged Netanyahuâs fine words.
In a radio interview, Moti Dotan, the head of the Lower Galilee regional council, sent a message to his Palestinian neighbours: âI donât want them at my [swimming] pools.â Sounding like a mayor in the southern United States during the Jim Crow-era, he added: âTheir culture of cleanliness isnât the same as ours. Why is that racist?â

Just making an observation . Self proclaimed righteousness makes me ill. He is tooting his own horn.
