I've pointed out Israeli Palestinians and that Jews and Arabs even marry and have kids when people insist all Arabs and Palestinians want to do is exterminate Jews. Of course coexistence is possible but to say it's entirely rosy however for Palestinians in Israel is stretching things and probably unsustainable given most are marginalized 2nd class citizens facing;

AI Overview

Palestinians in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) experience significant disparities in their standard of living compared to Jewish Israelis, facing systemic discrimination and economic inequality, including higher poverty rates, limited access to resources, and restrictions on movement and basic services

 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

 

Palestinians in Israel:

• Economic Inequality:

  A significant portion of Palestinian-Israeli citizens live below the poverty line, with rates much higher than those of Jewish citizens. 

   
• Discrimination:

  Palestinians face discrimination in housing, education, and employment, with limited access to resources and opportunities. 

   
• Land Confiscation:

  Israeli authorities have confiscated Palestinian land, further exacerbating economic inequality and restricting access to resources. 

   
• Housing Shortages:

  Palestinians in Israel experience housing shortages due to Israeli authorities investing primarily in non-Palestinian neighborhoods, according to Adalah. 

   
• Education:

  Poorly funded schools in Palestinian localities contribute to lower levels of education and reduced employment prospects compared to Israeli Jews. 

 

Here's the difference:

Palestinians in Israel (Arab-Israelis) are comparable to indigenous people in Canada, or blacks in the US, they have full rights, many individuals succeed however as a group they are behind on most metrics.

Jews (and most other minorities) in Arab countries get killed.

As for Palestinians outside Israel they're being treated more like America's First Nations were during the Frontier Wars.

They should probably stop trying to kill Israeli people.

The vast majority being slaughtered by Israelis haven't done anything to them.

Not exactly true, but either way, urban warfare is hell. When Hamas hides behind people to fight their war the death of their people is on them. 

Maybe next time the people will do more to oppose their leadership.

This week there were protests in Gaza with some people calling for the end of Hamas's rule.

Most media reports like this

and focus on the anti-Hamas aspects.

Al-Jazeera has a very different spin:

Interesting times!
