A little more balance to an overwhelmingly dishonest article.

as you should well know, attempting to gain a passport by fraud is considered by the statutes more serious than manufacturing or forging one. In the former, once a passport is gained, it is the "real mccoy", while the latter wouldn't last long given various border checks in place at the time, and since. I would suggest someone with an axe to grind against Arabs would claim Israeli's get a tougher deal than Arabs. Here the Israeli's got 6 months jail for passport fraud, and were out in half that. While Arabs got 5 years for something, you imply is similar when in reality it was not. And they served more than just a half of their sentence.
