This webpage has a pretty good rundown on the status of Arab Israelis: https://www.cfr.org/backgrounders/what-know-about-arab-citiz...

An example of implicit discrimination is Israel's ban on family unification with Palestinian spouses: https://www.adalah.org/en/law/view/511

The linked article is also blaming socioeconomic differences on Israel. But by many metrics Israeli Arabs are doing better than Arabs in other Arab countries. E.g. life expectancy for Israeli Arabs is higher than the Arab average, and higher than Jordan or Egypt.

Similarly for income. While Israeli Arabs on average earn 65% that of Jewish Israelis at $2,400 vs $3,750, the average income in Jordan is $865, and Egypt $235.

But differences in socioeconomic status between groups exist in every country.

The question is whether Israel treats its Arab citizens fairly. Not whether they fare better in Israel than other countries by some metrics.

		If you’re going to look at differences between groups, you can’t apply causality and accusation unless you account for other factors.

Imagine you're a parent explaining to a kid why it's not right to punch other kids. Do you accept "but they punch other kids too" as an excuse?

Imagine a parent introducing some special rules to protect a kid that’s being punched, like having them sit at the front, and the bullies start crying why they can’t sit in the front.

The Israeli occupation of Palestine is nothing like a teacher sitting some kids at the front.

You choosing to zoom in and crop the picture shows a level of disingenuity likely due to ulterior bias.

The area under control of the PA is ethnically cleansed from Jews, with an ongoing apartheid where, for example, selling property to Jews is punishable by death, and they have government issued bounties for the killing of Jews.

So Israel has restricted marriage visas from that location. The law still applies to every Israeli equally - Jews also cannot bring in people from that area on a marriage visa.

		Banning the eating of fish on Fridays discriminates against Catholics, even if the ban applies to everyone.
