These Israeli Arabs want full Israeli Citizenship; however no one hsows itself wanting to fight against the PA in the Israeli Army or fight for the state in there or abroad, the same house that feeds them.
Again, we see the old phenomena: As one said:
"...We have a lot of privileges I'm not ready to give up."
Sounds like the very well known "moderate" Muslims. If these Arabs stay in Israel, they know they will have a better life, ever than in any of their fellow Islamist kind in other countries, and would be attacked by neither a Jew, nor a Muslim.
And, in the future, by belonging to a democracy, they will have chance to go to the consulate of the US for example and apply for a new citizenship as phony "refugees". This is the most comfortable situation they can have ever. No mention either by them about stopping suicide bombers, helping the state of Israel as "israelis" against the PA and other islamist countries such as Egypt, no offered help against Saudis or even Iranians.
Any help to fight against islamo fascists in the US Universities by telling their story helping "their" home, which would be Israel? NOPE!!!
...Note again when one Arab says:
"… There would be another intifada to defend ourselves from the PA."
(Defend ourselves NOT defend ourselves and Israel from the PA).
If they are to stay in Israel, ones may foresee them spying for their kind or making exigencies upon the Israeli system (B/c they do not want the same rights like the Jews and other infidels, but want MORE rights than any infidel). One may foresee playing victims to the Media as pals started doing about 25 years ago, despite of Israel good treatement to them.
To me, forgive me my sincerity, in my opinion, it sounds as pretty much a form of parasite taking over, and the perpetuation of the same mistake by Israel.
