Israelis Jews made a half-ass (read Thom's link) effort in the early years, then shut Palestinians out. That was sixty years ago! Jewish parties may knock-down drag-out compete amongst themselves, but they are utterly unified with respect to preventing Arab political power. Is this not racist? Readers, Palestinians are free to vote for Arab parties, but those parties are powerless to influence fundamental state policy. The fact that Palestinians can vote is just a fig leaf to cover the ugly reality that racism against Arabs is institutionalized throughout Israeli society. Read the Israeli press, especially Haaretz, to learn more about Israeli politics and society. Note that while Israeli political reporting and analysis about Israeli issues is far and away superior to European and (especially) American 'efforts', there is still a lot of bs to wade through. God gave you a brain and free will so that you can think and decide for yourself.

Palestinians are the decendensts of the Hebrews, Canaanites and Philistines. They were there long before Israel existed. Just because a state was artificially erected around them doesn't make them aliens. And Arabs that were allowed to stay in 1948 have been citizens. Of course, if the other 800,000 had been allowed to stay, there probably would not be a state of Israel. That’s a lie of course and you know it.
