The Israel that I meet every day is made up of people who want to forge a path towards peace and security for all

Since the beginning of the war, I’ve met Arab-Jewish civil society organisations that exemplify this spirit, providing assistance across diverse communities.

    There is no such thing as a non-Jewish Israeli citizens. Can an Arab “citizen” buy land anywhere they wish? Can an Arab “citizen” repatriate refugee relatives? Can an Arab “citizen” commemorate the Nakba free of government discrimination? Can a political party that advocates equal rights for Arabs seat members in the Knesset?

    You don’t get to celebrate diversity in an Apartheid State.

      around 27% of israel’s citizens are not jewish. they have the same rights jews have, so yes they can buy land wherever a jew can.
      there are 4 arab parties in the knesset.
      one of them was part of the 2022 government.
