If Israel is so HORRID to Arabs, why would this happen?
The applications of early 10,000 Israeli men to the Interior Ministry’s Population Authority for Israeli citizenship for their Palestinian Authority Arab wives and children have been frozen since 2003 because of the Citizenship and Entry to Israel Law, just upheld by the Supreme Court, according to a Thursday evening report by Kol Yisrael government radio.
The law denies granting of Israeli citizenship or resident’s status to Palestinian Authority spouses of Israelis.
An additional 8,000 applications were filed but rejected due to government decisions following the law. The 18,000 applications applied to 70,000 spouses and children. source : http://yourjewishnews.com/15273.aspx

The reason to apply for citizenship is to make a living. Do you know that if you live on the West Bank or Gaza you can not legally drill a well for water on your own land?
Do you think that being an ‘Arab’ Israeli Citizen is a first class ranking or a way for Israel to rank ?
