I have. They say sure there’s discrimination (individual rather than systemic), but they also have better lives than anywhere else in the middle east, and that other arabs like to pretend they don’t exist.

Israeli arabs can vote, run for office, don't have issues with sectarian violence, leave Islam without the threat of violence, have sex sex relationships without the threat of violence, there's no extended royal family that are allowed to impose their will on others. Compare to the UAE, Qatar, or Gaza.

Most Palestinians are Arabs, too. Why are they treated differently?

Same reason that French people don’t have equivalent rights to British people in Britain.

It's not the same. Before 1948, even Jews in Palestine had Palestinian passports. They were all Palestinians. Jews were Palestinian Jews, and there were Jews all around the Middle East and Africa.
