    Asked if they feel part of the country, 70% of Arab citizens polled said “yes”, up from 48% in June, the Israel Democracy Institute (IDI) said, describing it as the highest finding for the sector since it began such surveys 20 years ago.

    I wonder what happened to change their minds (or what happened to the missing 38%)

    Police have carried out arrests among Arab citizens accused of social media posts inciting pro-Palestinian violence, and on Thursday arrested five leaders of the Arab community who had planned to organise an anti-war protest.

    Seems legit.

      Ah yes, that’s very typical for democracies. I think as a next step Israel should add democratic to their name to remind people how democratic they are.
