falxori 0 #26 July 6, 2007 QuoteCuriosity here I may well be wrong but don't Sabres have more rights than non Sabres? if by Sabres you mean Israeli born, then not really. like anywhere in the world, there are citizens that have duties and rights and non citizens that have different duties and rights. about 20% of israeli citizens are arabs, they are equal by law, can elect and get elected etc. the only difference is that the arab minority is not required to serve in the army. there are a few benefits reserved for army veterans but minorities who do chose to serve do get them (I don't, for example, because i didn't serve because i'm diabetic). can i say that everything is perfect and the arab minority gets treated exactly the same? I would say no (and show me one place on earth where it is perfect). the important thing is that they are equal by law and they are citizens with the same rights as me. the Palestinians in the PA are not Israeli citizens. the two are completely different groups. one is israeli and one is foreign (was under Israeli, then under PA rule) O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

Amazon 7 #29 July 7, 2007 Quote I think this article is an interesting read for how it was before the war. Seems that Mr Stein makes some rather LARGE ommissions in his narrative of the history of Palestine and early Isreal.... Perhaps you may want to read this one as well. http://www.hist.net/kieser/aghet/Essays/EssayWien.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
