One Palestinian state would have Arab majority. We all know that there is not one Arab country which is secular. Every Arab country denies the religious and political rights to Jews and Christians. There are laws in every Arab country which forbid Jews from owning a property. Every Arab country does not allow Christians and Jews to build new churches and synagogues. In one "secular" Palestine, Jews will become second class citizens. On the contrary, legally, Arabs are equal citizens of Israel. There are Arab political parties which contest elections. There are Arabs sitting in the Israelis parliament. We cannot deny the fact that Israel treats its Arab citizens far better than how non-Muslims are treated in Arab countries.
Where to begin.....
well Arabs don't get treated that great in Israel
because Palestinian Arabs have not been represented at the Ministry of Education's highest levels, their voices are often not heard. For example, Minister of Education, Limor Livnat, stated in June 2001 that she would like to see that "there is not a single child in Israel" who did not learn "Jewish and Zionist knowledge and values," but then explained that she did not include Palestinian Arab students in this statement.60\\ In the same year, the head of the Educational Authority for Bedouins, Moshe Shohat, who is Jewish, spoke of "blood-thirsty Bedouins who commit polygamy, have 30 children and continue to expand their illegal settlements, taking over state land." When questioned about providing indoor plumbing in Bedouin schools, he responded: "In their culture they take care of their needs outdoors. They don't even know how to flush a toilet." Shohat later apologized for his statements.
Palestinian Arabs have the right to fair representation in the education system under international and domestic law. Article 2(3) of the 1992 General Assembly Declaration on the Rights of Persons Belonging to National or Ethnic, Religious or Linguistic Minorities provides: "Persons belonging to minorities have the right to participate effectively in decisions on the national and, where appropriate, regional level concerning the minority to which they belong[.]" The Israeli High Court of Justice ruled on July 9, 2001, in a decision regarding the Israel Lands Administration Board, that Palestinian Arab citizens are entitled to fair representation in public bodies, especially those vested with decision-making powers, and stated that affirmative action was required. However, the Court also stated that "fair representation" did not necessarily mean one-fifth, (the percentage of Palestinian Arabs in the Israeli population), and the Court did not require the government to implement the ruling immediately.
Often because the school system is worse for arabs, they have a tremendously greater chance of dropping out of high school.
Here is where I took the quote from
http://www.hrw.org/reports/2001/israel2/Yeah maybe Human Rights Watch is just some pro arab thing I guess.
Also maybe in saudi arabia, but most arab countries have christian communities. So no its not illegal to build a christian church. Israel is really no better then arab countries, keep in mind its the only country
that has invaded all of its neighbors.
