"The poorest Arab in Israel would not be tempted to move to any nearby Arab country where Arab poverty is much worse, so I question your motive for singling out Israel.

Egypt's Bedouin have a far worse existence than those in Israel, so again I question your motive for singling out Israel."

These are bigoted and racist remarks as you are telling Arabs in Israel, who are discriminated against, that they should be happy with their lot because other countries may treat them even worse. You are suggesting that Arabs moving out of their own native country, away from their homes and families, is a potential solution for their mistreatment. Shuddering echoes of apartheid South Africa and Iain Smith's Rhodesia there. Ugly. And my motive in contributing to this thread is to correct bobad's inaccurate comments about perfect equality for Arabs in Israel. I note that you have nothing to say about that, going off on a sidetrack as usual about how other countries are even worse. Both you and Teribus are happy to accept that blinkered stance without bothering to check the real facts of the matter.
