[Maariv-Hebrew, 2Apr07] Ben-Dror Yamini - Since Israel's founding, the Arabs in Israel have undergone positive changes that have not occurred in any other Muslim community in the world. This is in comparison to both neighboring Arab states where the societies began in similar conditions, as well as to minority communities in Europe. There is certainly a difference between the per capita income of Jews and Arabs in Israel, but this has little connection to discrimination. The average age in Arab society is lower (younger people earn less), most women don't work outside the home, and families are larger - all factors which affect the statistics. While millions have emigrated from Arab states and, according to polls, many more wish to, the rate of emigration by Arabs in Israel is one of the lowest. The Arabs of Israel are voting with their feet. They know well that it is doubtful if there is any place else in the world where conditions would be better. This should be seen as a badge of honor for Israel. 2007-04-11 01:00:00Full Article
