The Palestineans probably won't demand to become citizens though. It just seems so out of character. After all, why would they want to join up?

Demographic majority. Israel is a democracy, and all of its citizens (including the current Israeli-Arab citizens) have full voting rights, just like anyone else.Samuel wrote:Well, they haven't done so given the last 50 years- what big change could occur to alter that?Pelranius wrote: If the Israelis keep fucking things up for themselves, there won't be any possible Palestinian state left and at the end, the Palestinians will eventually reason that they might as well just aim to have a say in who sits in the Knesset.

To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.

The problem with that is that the Palestinians have no citizenship and no voting rights at all this it will take a good long while before the Arab-Israelis have enough of a demographic majority to oust the morons driving the current policies.DEATH wrote:Demographic majority.

Re: Israel seizes land for settlement expansion
Arab Israelies do themselves no favours in the political process. The two 'arab' parties are pathetic and shoot themselves in the foot every few weeks. Also, arab Israelies do not vote as a block (many vote for Labour and other left wing parties rather than self interest arab parties) and have voting rates far below the rest of the population.Edi wrote: The problem with that is that the Palestinians have no citizenship and no voting rights at all this it will take a good long while before the Arab-Israelis have enough of a demographic majority to oust the morons driving the current policies.
