[news] Arab Citizens of Israel: Separate and Unequal

[Mostly Water - mostlywater.org = news.resist.ca]

The principle of ethnic separation was always at the heart of the Jewish nation-building project. Hundreds of rural communities--including the kibbutz communes established after the state's birth in 1948--are strictly off-limits to the country's one million Arab citzens. Even in the the handful of "mixed" cities, Arabs inhabit their own isolated neighbourhoods...Divisions are also enforced in the education system, with separate Arab and Jewish schools; and the "Hebrew labour" philosophy inherited from Zionism's pioneers means that much of the workplace is segregated too.
