Contrary to what cq might wish to portray, Israel is by and large a fair society to live in. There's a reason that 20% of the population are Arabs who choose to stay in Israel instead of living in one of the surrounding countries.

It's not a fair society. I only lived there for a year, but it was enough time to understand that those people you speak of are considered sub human second class citizens by the establishment that calls shots. Israel is fucked. I mean that with no disrespect.

Because they'd like to return to their homes one day?

Fact: 77 percent of Arab citizens would rather live in Israel than in any other country in the world. http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2008/05/study-israeli-...

Now if only all the Arab residents in Israel had rights and freedoms then everything would be okay. Israel is much better for the Arabs who are citizens that it is for the Arabs in the West Bank who don't.
