Official racism in Israel
"More than 62 percent of Israeli Jewish respondents also said that as long as conflict with the Palestinians continued, the state should not take into account Israeli Arab opinions regarding foreign policy...The study also found that 53 percent of Israeli Jews believe the state has the right to encourage Arab citizens to emigrate, while 55 percent said Jewish cities should receive more government resources than Arab communities." But this is why I--like most Arabs, and don't fool yourselves into thinking that the polygamous rulers of the Gulf speak for all Arabs--believe that the enemy in Israel is the state AND society.
