On the other hand, there are about 1.5 million Arabs, most of them Moslems, living among the Jews in Israel proper. They vote in Israeli election, are represented in the Knesset and the Cabinet, on the Israeli Supreme Court and in the diplomatic corps. Although Israeli Arabs are exempt from compulsory military service, there are many who volunteer.

"Arabs" do have some rights in Israel, unlike the Palestinians who have no rights whatever. However, they do not enjoy equal rights. There are many discriminatory laws on the books, and there is also quite a lot of discrimination in how the laws that are supposed to be equal are applied. Ethnic cleansing of "Arabs" is still ongoing in Israel as well as the West Bank.


Jordan IS the Palestinian Homeland, 76% of the Mandate Palestine territory.

Jordan was given to the Hashemites, who are of Saudi Arabian origin, not the Palestinians. The area that is now the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem, as well as about 20 or 30 percent of what is now Israel was given to the Palestinians to be their homeland.

However this "homeland" business is irrelevant to the fact that the indigenous "Arab" inhabitants were never supposed to be ethnically cleansed from their places of origin.
