Zionist racism against Arabs at all-time high

The Association for Civil Rights in Israel has released its annual report showing anti-Arab sentiment at an all-time high in occupied territories.

 

"Israeli society is reaching new heights of racism that damages freedom of expression and privacy," said Sami Michael, the head of the organization.

 

The report showed a 26% rise in racist incidents against Arabs in 2007, with twice as many Jews claiming feelings of hatred against Arabs.

 

74% of Jewish Israeli youth believe Arabs to be “dirty”. And 78% of the adult Jewish population in Israel does not think that Arab political parties should be included in the government.

 

Mohammad Barakeh, an Arab legislator in the Israeli Knesset, said the findings “did not take us by surprise and neither should anyone be surprised by it. Its results are the natural consequence of a racist campaign led by political and military leaders, as well as the result of the anti-Arab racist policies implemented by consecutive governments.”
