Subject: RE: BS: Palestine
Any statements criticizing Israel are regarded as anti-Semitic.

The area was flooded by Zionist elements from Europe and North America, immensely loading the situation against the Palestinians.

Often cited by Israelis is the fact that many Palestinians live in Israel, but they don't mention the restrictions.
Palestinians and other Arabs living in Israel (20 per cent of the population are severely restricted.
Many of fearful of making objections for fear of reprisals.
1. The "law of return" guarantees every Jew automatic Israeli citizenship if desired, at the expense of those who have lived on the land for generations (One additional aspect of this is the attempt to confine Bedouins to specific towns).
2. Non-Jews cannot perform military service, baring them from a broad spectrum of services tied to 'full' citizenship.
3. A Knesset law bars Palestinians married to Israelis from living with their spouses in Israel.
4. Budgets for infrastructure of Palestinian towns in Israel are miniscule, and if the town is not specifically "recoginzed," basic services such as water, sewers and roads are denied.
5. The educational system is biased in favor of Jewish customs.
6. The idea of collective rights and protection of the Palestinian minority are absent from the Laws of Israel.
