The guy was talking about weapons law that made it easier to receive a weapon license.
HE WAS NOT TALING ABOUT REZONING LANDS! NOT SUCH LAW EXISTS!
You can’t really blame him…….like most Zionists off the boat, Corey has no historical connection to Palestine and still has problems understanding the Forgotten Language in the Unknown Homeland.

True , he was speaking about that it is easier for Jews. To get weapons for self defense

Been watching here for years. Love the project.
He said the new law where they give weapons, and you translate it as the new law where they rezone lands? Please be accurate with your translations i love your content but it's not the forst time you misstranslate/misrepresent what people say.

@@ido3211 interesting that UA-cam will translate Arabic, but not Hebrew. Hmmm........ I wonder why
@@CJ-xl3dh
Why?
Because there are hundreds od millions of arab speakers and only ~10m Hebrew speakers?
@@orendafni Ok, tbh; with the surrounding controversy, I wondered whether it was that they didn't want anyone other than those who speak Hebrew to be able to read or understand those comments. It would be useful for UA-cam to have an auto translate for all languages.
The question was equality within the law. What I heard was social discrimination or like one guy felt people were looking at him differently. And starting talking about every other topic he could find that offended him, that had nothing to do with government law. They are speaking feelings not law.
They talk shit behind the backs of Jews all the time
That’s because they are equal when it comes to the law.

What you're doing is great. Thank you sir!
My friend is an Arab from one of the villages in the center, he is a Muslim Arab who carries a weapon with a license, he saw all the problems that exist in the village, so he volunteered from a young age for the Civil Guard, and then he volunteered for the police and did a good job to eliminate crime in his village and around in the Arab sector, he received certificates of appreciation From the police, such a man is obviously threatened with murder all the time, and he received a license for a personal weapon. So there is no difference between a Jew and an Arab. On the contrary: the majority of Arabs do not serve in the army, do not do national service or anything, there is no law that obliges them to do so. But we have thousands of Muslims who volunteer to protect the Jews and the Arabs in the army, police and more... one of them is very famous who was a combat soldier in the Golani, was wounded It is difficult in Lebanon and he became disabled, and today he is one of the greatest exponents of Israel anywhere in the world.
Good example.
yes, but in South Africa you also had black police and that does not mean that you can justify apartheid in the South, it is about the general picture, not about pieces
Anecdotal
I'm glad I was born in the west and not in my parents' country, Egypt - but if i had to be an Arab in the Middle East in the next life, if that sort of thing exists, I pray I'm born in Israel. No matter how bad it could potentially get, the Hell of Israel will always be preferable to the paradise of any Arab country, especially Egypt.
Arab Israelis are indeed the luckiest
@@Thenoobestgirl I think a testament to this is, I've met many Israelis who've moved from Israel to the states, but out of, let's say 100, I've only met one Arab Israeli who has left Israel and moved somewhere else. It seems Arab Israelis would rather live in Israel than anywhere else.
As an Egyptian, this is wrong, the paradise of Egypt is very easily accessible if you live abroad and decided to move to Egypt, Egypt is a very cheap country, you could live a luxurious life if you were just above average wealthy in the west, but surely poverty in Egypt is hell
@@manetho5134 I'm talking about the average person, not some wealthy Egyptian in the west who went crazy and decided to move back to Egypt. Egypt sucks for 85% of its inhabitants, especially the Christians.

The intent behind this(e) video(s), isn’t to debate again exhaustive and worn-down narrative or throw blame.
It’s about painting a picture that represent truthfully the attitudes and beliefs between different groups in the Israeli nation. And for that it captures it quite well. Definitely less biased than the mainstream media at either side.
This by itself can do a great deal in fighting the dehumanization campaign against Israelis as a whole.
I'll give you an example. They don't have to go to the army. They get to learn or work starting at the age of 18 which gives them a 2-3 year head start.
You want them to kill their own people day and night as the Idddf does?
You forgot that many universities hold places for arab students and they get affirmative action there.
R Arabs allowed to join Israeli army.
@@Jessman15 yes of course they are allowed, many druze, beduins, arab christians and even some muslims serve on the IDF
@@Jessman15 Yes sometimes. They have to go through stronger background checks.
No matter how equal the laws, it means nothing if they aren't upheld. Often there is prejudice in carrying out laws. Police and the justice system don't do anything overt, but they do treat people differently.
Like prison sentences are always within the standard for the crime, but some will get the minimum and others will get the maximum.
Racism exists everywhere in the world. It isn’t the same as apartheid.
A particular judge sentencing all the Arabs and/or Muslims who commit robbery to the maximum allowed by law but sentencing Jews to the minimum allowed by law is racism.
Having a law that says the maximum penalty for a Jew who commits robbery is six months but the maximum penalty for an Arab and/or Muslim who commits robbery is six years would be apartheid.
The thing is that the jewish and Palestinian mentalities are very different. In 1950 many jews in israel were refugees living in tents. Today everybody is working hard to invent the next hi tech gadget. The jewish mentality has always been to work hard and to help one another.
The Palestinians tend to soak in their own victimhood and are less motivated to move forward. Instead they blame the jews for their own problems.
@@sh25098 they are Arabs. Palestine is a latin Roman Colonial name
@@zavtradnem ??? A word can have more than one definition depending of the context, and the definitions usually change over time. TODAY in 2024 Palestinian refer to the Arabs of Palestine, no matter if the origin of this name is latin roman.
Israeli’s take billions of dollars for free from the world, while Arabs are second class citizens. They don’t get equal rights, can’t buy property in many places, can’t carry weapons, can’t protest, etc. they are not free.

At first I was like... Gotcha Arabs, you are really equal. But then some of them started making good points about how laws, treatment, arrests, and sentencing my be applied unfairly. And then, I was like... Gotcha Jews, you might be bigoted... Might be.
This really did get me thinking about Blacks in the USA. I do believe the feelings of unfairness are legitimate. Whether the reason for the feelings is legitimate is another matter/topic.
The point of the question wasn't to talk about racism.. or more correctly culturalism in this case. The goal was to discuss institutional discrimination.. aka apartheid.. which they failed to demonstrate.
That's why he asked about the law.
@@Abilliph But they did though. How the law is being applied matters just, as much or more than, what the laws actually are. You may write a contract saying that you will pay me 100$ but if you never did or only gave me half then you are being unjust. Wither you wrote it in the contract or not, if no one is enforcing it properly then the contract is just a piece of paper with no weight.
@@mahakhatib27 but they never demonstrated that the law wasn't applied either.
They said that they experienced discrimination from individuals, not from the law. If someone broke the law, they should be punished, and the law is the same for everyone.
If I paid you half, I broke the contract.. but what contract Israel broke with any of them?
Discrimination exists anywhere in the world.. as long as it's not in the system, it's not apartheid.
@@Abilliph The people in the video described the criminal law through Israeli police dealing them unjustly and then they also talked about the inability to speak Arabic openly which is basic law. These are normal people, not lawyers. They don't have physical proof that this happened, and they are going by their experience. That may not be good enough for you, but for me I understand and care about the fact that they feel discriminated against. Logically speaking, the law is against them, and it stands to benefit the Israelis and there way of life. The contract Israel broke, was to treat Arabs fairly and to acknowledge our rights. That has not happened, and no one cares.
@@AbilliphThe problem is that you don’t understand what apartheid means. Israel enacts apartheid in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Has nothing to do with Arabs with Israeli citizenship.
This just shows that israel no matter how imperfect it is as a country there really isnt laws that discriminate against muslims/arabs, but certain people be it muslim, jew or Christian treat other groups of people with hate in their hearts. It seems more of a cultural issue than a governing issue.
The admissions committee law is one example of the many discriminatory laws in Israel. Also, several hundred thousand Arabs from East Jerusalem are stateless (!) 2nd class citizens of Israel -- "permanent residency" is 2nd class citizenship, and this status is inherently discriminatory.
so all the reports by every human rights organisation over the last 20 years are wrong? am I supposed to believe propaganda that goes against many respected organisations that will call out injustice no matter the nation causing it?
Raj, the Arabs from Jerusalem had the choice to become citizens or not! They chose not! No crying that things aren't fair when they chose this path.
@@rajm2626east jerusalem residents actually rejected citizenship initially for political reasons, although admittedly their rejection was convenient for racist Israelis too. Also they can apply for citizenship, although the process is admittedly lengthy and frustrating.
@Seanonyoutube The majority of East Jerusalem residents who apply for Israeli citizenship are rejected - "Only 34 percent of naturalization applications submitted by Palestinians living in East Jerusalem are approved, and in many cases final approval takes years." (Haaretz)
As far as I know Israeli Arabs have more rights than Jews for example. Israeli Arabs don't have to get as many points in their exams to get an invite for universities and Israeli Arabs don't have to serve in the military, which is mandatory for the Jews and takes away two to three years of their lives.
Palestinians living in Israel have more restrictions. They can’t buy property in many places by law, they cannot carry weapons, they cannot protests and exercise free speech as much as Jews living in Israel. They have much less rights.
@i.c.wiener2750 Makes me wonder if mandatory military service for all citizens including Arabs should be a thing...wonder what's the pulse of Israeli Arabs tor that?
who has the right to return jews from every part of the world or palestineans refugees?
@@zjzr08 The Jews probably don't trust other people to defend the country. Which I can understand, but it works in the favor of Israeli Arabs.
@@martillodelajusticia7211 I don't understand what you're trying to say, Sir.
I am Israeli Jew,my life is also not perfect. Actually i feel like i can complain more then thy did lol
Life is never 100%.what they are describing is not,not equal.
It’s just life…
Jewish people complain more than anybody. You guys stole $310 Billion in taxpayer aid from my country (USA) from Israel and still act like everyone is an antisemite.
Here’s an example of inequality in the law.
A Jewish person in Israel can bring in a relative to live in Israel just because they are Jewish.
An Arab person in Israel cannot bring in a relative to live in Israel if they are Arab.
I think it’s only fair, as it’s the only Jewish state after all. It’s similar to what’s applied in many countries. My country, Japan, also makes things easier for Japanese Brazilians.
The law regarding familiar citizenship says nothing to distinguish between Jews and Arabs.
Corey, I cannot say that his is one of your finest. You put words in their mouths (Nation State Law, municipal refuse collection), you showed some rubbish on the street by a building site and used that as an example, your Hebrew is very, very poor...and overall you did a poor job.
I think in general he tends to ask leading questions, although I appreciate the videos.
Horrible translation of the first guy. He was talking about gun permits, why did you decide it was some zoning? And Correy, please don't try to speak Hebrew. You're bad at it and just confusing the people you interview
"The State of Israel will maintain complete social and political equality of rights for all its citizens without distinction of religion, race and gender"
Israel's Declaration of Independence 1948
You can't see any declaration like that in any Arab country
Bull
How about non-citizens in occupied territories? That should considered too when assessing if Israel extends equal rights to all. These occupied people don't have the same rights as settlers. Are refugees in Gaza and WB allowed to freely travel with Israeli boarders and return to live there?
@scottmcfadden7730 From what I read 90% of West Bank Palestinians do live under full Palestinian Authority control (Area C?) while most who do transit in Area A and B are mostly Beduoins (although it's said Area A is dangerous for both Palestine and Israel to have a Palestinian live there as it may trigger issues).
I'm gonna be frank and just let Israel officially annex Area A because it's was land annexed by Jordan then now occuppied by Israel so let them officially annex it (although there are many Israelis who are against it although tolerate it due to security concerns).
You should read the Nation State Law that says Israel is only for Jews.
You can’t escape it
8:10 Please ask: Are you an Arab in the State of Israel, is there an Arab country around the State of Israel whose citizens have better rights than the rights Arabs have in the State of Israel? Second question: What is the difference in your opinion?
No arab country around the state of Israel treats jews as superior and arabs as second-class citizens. Not sure why that has to even be asked.
As an Israeli, I'd completely understand if one of my Arab counterparts would say that they are against the current war in Gaza, maybe they even have relatives there that they are worried for their safety. But if they decided to support Hamas or Islamic Jihad, the very terrorist organizations whose sole purpose is to destroy the country in which they themselves reside and are citizens of, then that's a different story entirely.
@yuvalkoren4070 Yeah, I actually want his reasoning why he's opposing the war, and particularly what is the solution to stop it as soon as possible while saving all hostages and stopping a future terrorist attack...the best we can hope is that he does feel concerned about his fellow Gazan and maybe do have family there, but that's why there should be demand of Hamas being brought down which sadly I don't think they're willing to do and would drag the Gazans with them even to the last person IMO (great thing is apparently around 85% of Arab Israelis do agree that Hamas shouldn't be in control of Gaza, which admittedly that 15% is still concerning).
@@zjzr08 11% of Americans think that 9/11 was an inside job.
Imo 85 percent agreeing that hamas shouldn't be in power is good
@@zjzr08You’re not very worried about stopping killings perpetrated by IDF and settlers.
@@rothein436 I am also an American. I couldn’t disagree with you more.
@evelyndominguez4757 I am not an American.
And how can you disagree with me?
I haven't said any opinions. I just showed facts
1. Nation-State Law (2018): defines Israel as the nation state of Jewish people. Emphasizing that the right to exercise national self-determination in Israel is unique to the Jewish people.
2. The Law of Return (1950): This law grants Jews the right to immigrate to Israel and obtain citizenship. Palestinians, including those with historical ties to the land, do not have a similar right to return
3. Absentee Property Law (1950): This law allows the Israeli government to take control of properties owned by Palestinians
4. Law on the Prevention of Infiltration (1954): This law has been used to restrict the entry and residency of Palestinians, particularly in terms of family reunification.
5. Citizenship and Entry into Israel Law (2003): This law restricts family reunification for Palestinian spouses of Israeli citizens, affecting many Palestinian families by preventing them from living together in Israel
None of these laws affect Israeli citizens. And as most Palestinians won't swear loyalty to Israel (or will only do so as lip service, and backstab when opportunity rises), these laws must exist for the country's safety and well-being...
The thing is, there is law, and there is the application of the law. By law, Israeli Arabs are *almost* equal to Israeli Jews (there are differences in military service, and there is the Nation State Law which clearly socially lowers the status of Arabs in comparison to Jews). But in the application, what you will see is that administrative requests by Arabs take on average much longer, and are refused more often than similar requests made by Israeli Jews (prime example: building permits). Also, Arab neighbourhoods often have less services than Jewish ones.
To compare, it's like the US, or France, or just about any western country... In the US, for example, the law places black people, Arab people as equal to whites. But in day to day business, you see that they are discriminated against, by police, by services, their neighbourhoods are less well funded, etc...
It's called systemic racism. And that's why looking at the law texts themselves is not enough. You have to look at how these laws are applied by various administrative services.
0:52 bro??? he said weapons clearly.
100%
Is there a difference in how you feel there is a diifference before and after Oct.7th. I can see how it might be fear and not discrimination after Oct. 7th?
The last (blurred) guy statement that the police would quickly recover a stolen ATV in the Jewish sector is far from reality.
In reality, many stolen vehicles are never recovered, with the police no doing much to retrieve them... jewish or not.
The answer is: No, they are not discriminated. We all know that. I wonder if they know what happened to the Jews that lived in the Arab countries ..
The answer is what they answered, not your gaslighting.

@@Seanonyoutube the truth is simple. no need to be genius ;)
Such a fool
What happened to jews in arab countries, when exactly? After ISrael was established? After the mosad and zionists intellegence commited acts of crimes and instigated riots inorder to displace Arab Jews?
Well if Jews are obliged to serve in the army but Muslim Arabs aren't, then maybe that could beg the question if they do actually deserve the same rights.
Same obligations, same rights.
If that's not the case - different obligations, different rights.
Out of 2 million muslims in Israel only a few hundred serve in the IDF. I say - let them get equal rights indeed. But if they didn't, I'd say - don't expect the same treatment, really.
Those who served in the army (no matter their religion) do deserve special treatment.
Just want to clarify, about ultra orthodox Jews who reject serving in the army and don't work - they get overtreatment and they are a burden to Israeli society (they're a burden to Jews and Arabs alike).
arabs arent allowed to join the israeli army and why would they kill their own people?
@@Charles.s-i1nwhy? Why did syrians, yemenis, sudanese and iraqis do it by the hundreds of thousends?
In America, every citizen still gets the same basic rights. Wither they served in the army or not. If they do serve in the army, they get benefits or perks but not separate rights that exceed someone else's basic rights. I don't like the laws in Israel and I think they are unjust and unclear.
@@mahakhatib27 I don't think the laws are usually unclear. But I do think they're unjust. DEI for example is unjust. The fact that ultra Orthodox Jews don't need to work in Israel and they're a burden to the rest of society (because the taxpayers who actually work pay for their livelihood, Jews, Arabs and anyone other than ultra Orthodox Jews).
Sure, same basic rights? Obviously BASIC rights should be the same.
But: Different obligations - Different rights.
Why is a Jewish secular citizen obliged to serve in the army but an ultra Orthodox or a Muslim isn't?
Then there should be different (not basic laws) laws applied here.
If one citizen has different duties compared to the other, different rights should apply. It only makes sense to do that.
Besides, DEI applies to Arabs. That's why a huge amount of Israel's Doctors (who actually studied in Israeli med school) are Arabs. And only about 40% of Israeli doctors studied in an Israeli med school.
So yeah, laws are unjust.

@@MohammedHassan-ym8qfthere is inequality, but not an actual Apartheid. Compare Israel to South Africa under Apartheid and it isn't the same. The laws are equal but the application of the laws is inconsistent. Saying it is more minimizes the severity of Apartheid and the same is true about saying Israel is committing Genocide. Compare the current conflict with how Jordan proceeded during the Black September repression.
Let’s not kid ourselves. I can’t even bring the topic up to my family who lives there via WhatsApp bc they are afraid of the repercussions. There is massive discrimination against property rights as a consequence has resulted in 20% of the Israeli population (Palestinians/Arabs) living on only 2% of the land. Most of the Palestinians who live in Israel live in all Arab towns like Nazareth. A lot of the residents of Nazareth were ethnically cleansed from surrounding Arab villages and towns and squeezed into smaller areas. One needs to understand that the policy behind the Jewish state is kind acquisition for Jews only as the nation state law states that only Jews have the right to self determination in Israel.
I wonder how things are for the j e ws living in the 22 arnab occupied countries.... oh wait....
@@dogbert52 Listen to Avi Shlaim, an Israeli/Iraqi Jewish historian. It will help you understand the history of Arab Jews bc I can tell from your comment you are misinformed.
@@fadius17well fadi habibi, 22 countries were ethnically cleansed from j e ws....
And since then , the arnabs keep trying to do the same in a 23rd. If you support it, then by all means, you are welcomed to live anywhere on the planet but israel.
The math isn't mathing for me.... Such a small area of Israel is designated for residency/urban settlement. Approx 6% of Israel's total land area... Of that 3-4% of Israel's total land area are Arab towns/villages. (which is approximately 50-67% of the total urban areas and settlements). So if we were to even say 2%, which would be 33%, that is still a greater portion that the rest of the populous. What am I missing here?
I've had this conversation with an Arab neighbor once who explained also how different populations have different practices when using land as well. For instance you will see in almost every expansion or new neighborhood of a city, or small town, apartment buildings. Around 65-70% of Jewish Israelis live in apartments, because they live in more urban centers and its more affordable, whereas only about 30-40% of Arab Israelis live in apartments, with a preference for single-family homes due to cultural traditions and living in rural areas So the squeeze is real.
All that being said, Arabs have higher birthrates as well, so the demand is there, and the government is way to slow in addressing this issue as they did in Beit Shemesh for instance to meet the expanding Haredi population. In my opinion, Arab towns should expand their boundaries for the sake of meeting that need (while still protecting water and green areas), out of respect for this cultural difference. I say this as someone who lives in the rural areas, I have no desire to live in Tel Aviv, or Haifa and live in some massive apartment building. Arabs shouldn't be forced to change their culture, or live as a minority in a Jewish town, in order to have a home.
The 2% statistic doesn't really mean anything as a huge part of the land isn't populated. 60% is desert where it's harder to build cities, plus mountains etc. I don't know the exact statistic is as to how much of the land is actually used for living but There is no way it's above 40%, which makes the 2% statistic more logical
Laws that are not equal:
It is forbidden to wave Palestinian flags, which is a discrimination of the Palestinian ethnicity in representing their own national and ethnical identity.
Arabs and Jews do not have the same right to buy land, for example in the settlements in Palestine.
Self determination is unique for the Jews, which means if Jews make decisions over the Arabs only for Arabs, then they have to accept them and can’t reject them, because they have no right to claim self determination.
What the heck land in Palestine? The governance there is different
Palestine doesn't exist, no such thing as "Palestinian ethnicity."
So what. There are places in America that ban the Confederate flag too. Arab Muslims represent the dominant ethnic religious majority in the Middle East, and they discriminated against, ethnically cleansed and murdered Jews for centuries. So waving a pan-Arab nationalist flag is no different than a bunch of racist white southerners waving a confederate flag….down to the fact that they’re both flags that represent failed racist insurgencies by dominant ethnic groups.
@@FrancieBergeautist detected opinion rejected
Do you think it is acceptable to wave the Confederate flag in the US? Waving a Palestinian flag in Israel is EXACTLY like waving a Confederate flag in the US....
Also, I think, though not 100% sure, that Israeli Arabs can live in the West Bank settlements, but they obviously won't do it, since that means they're okay with that concept...
Go to Egypt,and what I racism and discrimination. I went once , they don’t want to talk to u if u are without any man around.
What you experienced, is the same everywhere in the Islamic world. Apart from Iraqi Kurdistan and perhaps Sarajevo.
So the ones who don't have a sense of entitlement agree that they have equal rights and those who nurture a victim mentality think long and hard to come up with an example about how one time someone wasn't nice to them. Got it!
IOW, equal rights. Welcome to life in the first world.

I will always find this question fascinating. Different sectors in Israeli society are treated differently. Each as benefits that other sectors do not enjoy, and each has cultural issues.
- Conscription laws are not applied equally.
- Expansion of building zones are not applied equally.
- Marriage laws are not equal. (No civil marriage for instance, or religious monopolies)
- Infrastructure renewal is not applied equally.
- Scholarships are not applied only based on need.
- Different townships have different property taxes seemingly without any logic.
Some of these "help" Arabs. Others "help" Haredi Jews. and so on. Sometimes they look like a benefit on the surface, when they demand higher levels of responsibility... Others are a reflection of Israelis treatment of peripheral towns, or of dysfunction (which a lot of municipalities are highly dysfunctional).
I am always trying to figure out what can people do in order to change things, rather than ''blame the government' for instance. How can people be proactive?
I also want to just say, I really appreciate the last man that spoke. Especially in the north, where there are a fair amount of gangs, that threaten and extort individuals, businesses and communities. My own community hired more security guards, patrols and installed more security cameras. We know the police are far away, and even if they come, they don't have the backing to find the perpetrators (who are either well armed, or protected by silence).
He pointed out the cooperation it takes in the system and outside for a community to be safe and to thrive. For people to feel safe reporting to the police, and really be protected from gangs, and likewise for people to report. I have already started to see more young Arab men volunteer with the police in their national service, and I hope that more will enter into the system to make the changes needed to protect witnesses from organized crime.
Just as you wouldn’t consult a non-physician when it comes to diagnosing your illness you shouldn’t consult an average person when dissecting the law. Go ask that question to 12 Arab attorneys practicing the law in Israel.
Exactly! The average citizen is not aware of all the laws that might be discriminatory against Arabs.
As a lawyer who worked and exchanged with Muslim Arab lawyers as well, you will find the same answers or even better. Anyway it is very relevant to ask the Muslim Arab person on the street as people worldwide shouting and lying Israel is an apartheid state, when its the opposite way (I wish I was a muslim citizen in Israel in terms of law and benefits), as the whole propose of laws is the affect on people.
The man @15:20 was the only one with a valid point, the rest just feel sorry for themselves and feel inferior on their own. They feel everyone hates them as they don’t even like themselves. But with the guy @15:20, he has a point. Criminals will find out if you call them out on their crimes. To wait 2-3 years for the police to do anything - that’s horrible. The police are perpetuating crime if that’s the case. I feel like that’s something that could be fixed if there was enough attention put on the problem. A safer Arabic sector, means a safer Israel in general. The police may not understand that’s how they feel, likely getting frustrating at Arabs as they aren’t helping solve crime. In reality, they want to, it’s just not safe for them to do so.
So it has to begin with changing their internal norms around violence in addition to more policing.
This is precisely the same problem African Americans have. There is only so much policing can accomplish if the ‘civilians’ won’t testify.
But that has nothing to do with equality within the law. I took the question as the "law of the land" laws of government.
He spoke literally from his heart and you could feel his frustration and helplessness in this situation. And he is right that they cannot "tip off" the police if the result is that they will be harmed by the local criminals.
The Israeli Jews always complain about the Arabs that they themselves perpetuate the crime by not giving names and not cooperating with the police and after that they complain why the police don't do the job. But here he gave such a logical explanation that his heart was really broken for the atmosphere he was living in unwillingly even though he would be happy to change the situation but it is not in his hands.

Why is ok for there to be 40 or 50 or more Islamic states. Where a Muslim can be a citizen. But a jew cannot. Israel is a Jewish state. In the laws it states tbat a jew can become a citizen.

@@Zane70K Really so Iran, Morrocco, Syria do not have Jewish Citizens
Dude let people finish what they’re saying! Also the question of legal discrimination requires knowledge of the law not the knowledge of a random person on the street. Legal discrimination may be experienced as social discrimination. Eg A black person in 1940s US would have known they’re discriminated against by being stuck in a ghetto, but they might not have known it had to do with red lining, supported by federal housing policy. To answer this question about legal discrimination, we can look at the reports by human rights organizations like b’stelem, Al-haq, Amnesty International, and human rights watch
None of these people talked about housing. Palestinian families are forced out of homes in occupied East Jerusalem. They can go to court but because of discrimination they never win. Palestinians can not build a new home without a permit and but they are never given permits. So they build anyway and Israel bulldozes their house. There are no official laws for this but this is a clear example of documented inequality they experience under the law.
Palestinians are held in prison under Israel's policy of “administrative detention,” without trial. Again not an official law but a policy under the law.
@annan.3283 the question pertained to Israeli citizens only. What you are referring to is how Israel treats the subjects of it's illegal occupation of the Palestinian territories, which most certainly establishes Israel as an apartheid state, and should be abolished.
the question is for arab citizens, not palestinians outside of israel.
Israeli people also can’t build houses without permit
@@elizas3249as you admitted, they aren't israeli, so why should they get equal rights under law as Israelis do?

Here's an example. The law of return. An Israeli arab cannot bring his Jordanian uncle to live with him in Israel. But an Israeli Jew can bring his American uncle to live with him in Israel.

It's not discriminatory because the law applies to all.
I find it funny non can reference an actual indiscriminatory law and I would have made the point that Arabs aren't obligated to serve in the army. Though this law is fine by Arabs in Israel, they prefer it that way.
You should stop asking these questions and start asking what will move peace forwards.

Black people in America are senators, congressmen, celebrities, supreme Court justices, business leaders, etc etc. And one very popular former president. Being a professional victim is a profession too, I suppose.
@Obelisk-hw7ls I still think this issue is more of a socioeconomic thing than a racial thing in America (although the most impoverished group in America I think are Latinos actually) although I don't think stuff like DEI is the answer (one company in particular said they aren't gonna hire white people apparently hehe).
The divide in America is not racial. It's a divide between those raised by single mothers vs two parents. Asian Americans have the highest education levels, per capita household income, lowest rate of crime and drug addiction and highest % of two parent families. Afro Americans have the lowest % of two parent families and all the opposite stats of Asian Americans. They are followed by Hispanic and then white Americans for the % of two parent families and all the stats I mentioned correlate to those rankings. That's why Asian Americans are #1 in good categories, last in negative categories followed by white, Hispanic and finally Afro Americans.
@@mrbrainnyc258 I'm not sure if I actually believe that type of correlation frankly, like is it similar stats say, in higher tier economic classes, where it still has single parent families are lower in that range than nuclear parent ones?

Law and law enforcement
I see a lot of similarities to how black Americans often express themselves. There is a perceived sense of injustice in society, but there is nothing in the actual law that they can point to for a reference as to where this injustice exists which makes them look irrational, but they all still know that the injustice exists in society. Whether it's real or not, it's how they perceive the situation and by that it becomes real to them.
One of the men in the video did point out that it is difficult for him to get a job because the employer only hired those who had done military service. That's an actual discrimination since Israeli-Arabs cannot do military service. It's a potential way for the employer to discriminate while also not breaking any law, especially when it makes no sense. I am from a EU country that has conscription, and I have NEVER heard of an employer that would be demanding for these merits. It really does sound like a implicit attempt at discrimination.

Either let them talk about life, or interview lawyers about obscure legal stuff instead .
He's asking a simple question. You should watch the other videos of this guy, this is the concept. How they feel is important as well, but it is a different question, for a different video.
What's the problem here??.. he asked a simple question.. and he didn't ask how they feel in the Israeli society. They all confused personal discrimination with an institutional one.
The question is stupid, there is no reason to talk about a law implemented by a racist government and a racist, criminal and bigoted majority. No matter how just the law is, the reality is completely different, and it is apparent that people are not living under a state of law, otherwise they would understand the question and answer it right.
By the way, the true answer is that there are a lot of discrimination laws in Israel. The biggest is that if a Jew has a Jewish relative, he can bring him to live in Israel and get the Israeli citizenship even if he is just a convert, but a Muslim Arab can't do that to his Muslim relatives. And this law is very known to everybody, so, the question of this video is based on huge ignorance.
But the whole point was that they couldn't even find one law which is discriminatory!
Sure!.. the application of the laws is not always perfect.. but it has nothing to do with the law.
The Jewish public is afraid of Arabs.. Arabs hate Jews and blame the Jews for shaming them 75 years ago. Those problems have nothing to do with how good is Israel as a state.
Religious/ethnic discrimination exists in Muslim dominated countries like Malaysia. Try getting a Jewish spouse of a Chinese Malaysian to get Malaysian nationality for example.
Also you're saying just a convert as if judism is a missionary religion with an easy method of conversion. It is extremly difficult and requires a lot of commitment. If somebody really wants to convert to judism and move to Israel they probably have a special deep reason.
Equivelent and worse laws are commonplace in a lot of muslim majority countries sk I don't get the double stamdard you put forth.
They are all saying that they are equal in the eyes of the law, but that there is discrimination in practice. Which is true everywhere in the world. But even the examples they cite aren’t specific, and don’t necessarily indicate discrimination. So it is more of a sensation of being discriminated against. Which is something a lot of people feel, including women.

I think the mafia issues need to be addressed but the police had to be empowered and actually caring for its citizens like a strong witness protection program. Also in terms of people being afraid that crimes happen in certain areas, this isn't unique and sadly happens to many countries with infamous crime hotspots.
Many Filipinos are afraid to go in Mindanao due to the many wars there by Islamic militants and some terrorist attacks. It's now more in control but people are still wary.
It's usually addressed when a celebrity or blogger visits the place and showcase how safe it actually is. The people from Fauda apparently for example went to some Arab villages in Israel to shoot from and they were actually welcomed well.
I guess the Jewish nature of being isolationist doesn't urge them to explore much of their bubbles but maybe some tourism in those areas could help show off the positive side of Levantine Arab culture (food is usually the best example).
The problem with crime in the Arab sector in Israel is that not only do the police sometimes not intervene because it is not worth it to them, but because the citizens themselves do not tell the police what happened. Most of the time there are eyewitnesses in the murder cases, but as soon as the police arrive to try to understand and investigate the incident, everyone swallows their tongue either because they are afraid of being murdered or because they want to kill the murderer by themselves following their culture. 😐
The guy towards the end of the segment made a very insightful observation. The issue of people not wanting to come forward to speak of crimes because they understand that if they were to speak up, no one from the system will protect them from reprisal. It's a very astute observation.
This is why you need equality under the law in both word and deed.
A racist system cannot survive - even if it is equal under the law but those interpreting the laws still do so in a prejudicial way.
What cause you think that there is no equality in this issue? Police can't protect jews in such cases eather. And they solve murders badly equally when it is about jews
Yeah.. but this is the situation in most of the western countries.. like in the USA. There are towns and cities which are so chaotic and full of crime.. that the countries system can't really do anything about. The police itself is afraid.
It's NOT a problem with the system.. it's not a racist system. Some cultures are much harder to govern than others, especially when crime became a basic part of them.
@@Abilliph yes but that’s because people aren’t looking at the real drivers of crime. It’s lazy thinking to lay this at the feet of culture.
@@SeanMoore but the real drivers of crime very intimidating people in some cultures.. some of them have little armies of their own.
No cop is crazy enough to fight against them, and lose his entire family in retribution.
And I didn't mean it's a basic cultural thing. But when living a certain way, sometimes crime becomes a dominant part of your local culture.
And it doesn't help that the culture in the villages is a bit hostile to Jews. It makes people less ready to help the police fight against the criminals, which are their brothers in a sense.
@@Abilliph see my earlier point about why a racist system cannot survive. Those who are treated as tenants in their own lands will eventually come to bear grudges and resentment towards those who are interpreting the law in a way that favours one party over another based upon race and ethnicity. I sadly get to see this in my own country against others. I get that you can’t stop people from being racist but you can call it out when you see it.
I think that a lot of people are failing to differentiate between de facto discrimination and de jure discrimination.
the situation is far from perfect, but fun fact: arabs are more free in israel than they are in most arab countries
One example is freedom of movement, people having to walk on different sides of the street depending on their ethnicity, or being allowed access to different places. Also, Israelis get more lenient treatment in sentencing when they murder Arabs, which is a huge problem.
What Israeli law requires people of different ethnicities to walk on different sides of the streets?
There is no question that life for Arabs is made harder by various forms of discrimination, not just in laws like no right of return but in every day things like funds for projects and sanitation and many other things.
But, Israeli Arabs also know that compared to Arabs in other countries, they have things pretty good and would rather live in the more socially liberal Israel than the many nearby repressed Muslim dictatorships.
These are basically dictatorships installed/backed by the West, especially in Jordan and Egypt.
There's no discrimination! The law of return can be applied to the Palestinian territories once they have a country. Sanitation is the responsibility of the municipality only! The Arab cities and villages gets funds from the government, but unfortunately they are being used wrongly in the Arab sector. Tons of corruption!
A lot of the things that the arabs complain about are made by their elected mayors.
The arab community is mostly family based so the strongest families elect the mayor.
That causes a lot of corruption.
@shardanette1 I really don't know why right of return by Palestinians is so important when the Jewish ethnicity was there first...there was a mass expulsion of Germans (wrongly so IMO) in parts of Europe after WW2 but they moved on and returned to their homeland (seeing most of German culture is in Germany; sadly seems to be Eastern Germany for most of them at first though).

Ooo. Such an interesting question...

I wonder if Benny Morris or any other new historian has more info on the topic.
The population of Gaza, has slightly different ancestry than those living in say Ramallah, or Haifa for instance. But I'm not sure how much of a role it plays in their identity. Actually I watched the other day a great infographic video of "Timeline of Gaza | 3500 BCE to October 7th, 2023" that shows population changes in that area.
Its one of the beautiful but complicated factors of this region, is that its always been a center of different powers, migration, and each family has their own story. Some for milenia, some centuries and others decades. Like Jews, ancestry is also a mix. My family has history in Italy and Germany, while my partner from Kurdish Iraq, and Syria, but we are of the same Diasporic group.
I hope there are people who know more about their history that can share.
They are likely very similar. Modern day Israel is made up of people who lived there before the formation of Israel (mostly Palestinians), people who immigrated from Europe post WWII (Jews), people who immigrated from Arab countries to make Aliyah and join the first Jewish state (mostly Jews), and people who immigrated from USSR post fall of communism in early 1990s (Jews). There were no incentives for Arabs to immigrate INTO Israel at any time.
They are all Palestinian
professional victims forever.
You would know. Takes one to know one.
How many years have we been hearing cries of "antisemitism" meanwhile Israel has been given more US taxpayer aid than any other country?
Israel is an ethnocracy. These men do not know the basic laws by memory but they can feel it. You cant be a democracy for half the people.
I can feel the snow in the sahara desert.
I can feel penguins flying to the moon.

The “Muezzin” Bill38
This bill targets Muslim citizens of Israel, aiming to silence Muslim calls to prayer at mosques around the
country via a blanket categorization of mosque calls to prayer as “unreasonable noise”.

@@OhadZohar-vb2xt i dont know where my comment went. It really doesent matter if its enforced or not this is only one example of many laws that discriminate and its one of the more moderate ones. If the goverment wrights a law its up to police to enforce it. Its still racist even if the law does not work in practice.
