Nehru wouldn’t let him finish
Even Israeli Arabs don't have equal rights. This week Israel passed a law that bans family reunification for Israeli Arabs but Jews are allowed, even if they dont have any family. haaretz.com/israel-news/shak…

Jews and Palestinians are not equal inside Israel proper! Chomsky said it’s reminiscent of Jim Crow Don’t let them slip that lie past you! Very effective Hasbara Palestinians in Israel can’t get building permits. Harassed if they date a Jew. Not a model for anything good!

#Jews & #Palestinians are not equal in the West Bank. When a Jew from any nationality goes to the West Bank they are violently attacked when entering #Palestinian areas.

The Ambassador very clearly says they should have equal rights. If you were hoping for a gotcha moment, you failed.

The missing word is "Bantustan"! The West Bank has a puppet Palestinian "ruler" who is utterly under the microscopic control of the IDF. Gaza's air, land & sea borders are hermetically sealed by the IDF. Israel's "Arabs" are 2nd class citizens. Putting lipstick on Apartheid.

Israeli Arabs are still discriminated against in Israel. Even though Friedman says they are equal, they are not.

That wasnt inspirational. I think Jerry Reed said it best, "We have a long way to go and a short time to get there!" #outofcontextquotes
