What is anti-Semitism?
Co-Existence
Hand in Hand
In Divided Jerusalem, a School Bridges Boundaries Between Young Israeli Arabs and Jews.
The walls at the Max Rayne Hand in Hand school in Jerusalem, located along the Green Line in the city’s southwest, are draped with hand-painted murals, squiggly sketches, and paper cutouts around words like “dignity”—but, like everything else at the school, it’s written twice: once in Hebrew, kavod, and once in Arabic, karam. Each class is run by two teachers, one Jewish and one Arab, and the 600 students are split evenly between Israeli Jews and Arabs.
In a diverse yet deeply segregated Jerusalem, where mundane public places can quickly become social battlefields, the students at this school are an experiment in coexistence. They are the leading edge of a small but growing trend toward bilingual, multicultural education in Israel.
Ten-year-old Atalia Davidoff, a Jewish student, says that while she regularly gets flak from her neighborhood friends for going to school with and hanging out with Arabs, she likes that it’s something out of the ordinary. “It’s really fun to learn with Arabs,” she explained. “It makes me feel special.”
An Uncommon View for a Jewish Person, or not?
Jews and Arabs are 'genetic brothers' BBC Jewish heritage has been maintained
They may have their differences but Jews and Arabs share a common genetic heritage that stretches back thousands of years. The striking similarities in their biology have just been revealed in a study of over 1,300 men in almost 30 countries worldwide.
Scientists compared the men's Y chromosomes, the tiny structures within cells that carry the genetic instructions that tell a developing foetus to become a boy.

All this tolerance will not be tolerated! I will definitely be bringing this up at the next jew convention.
Israeli politicians have certainly treated the Palestinian people less than fairly. But the Palestinian government has treated the Palestinians far worse than the Israelis ever could have

Very nice thread. I am also a supporter of a one state solution. It's the only possible solution to be had.
But what that means is an end to racism all the way around, and the idea of a republic to replace it, where everyone is equally represented. The first war is the one against all forms of racism, if we win that war then the one state solution can easily be had.
Although the one state solution is certainly a very good option, is not the real fear, that Muslims have larger families and would eventually hold sway voting and population wise? The Orthodox Jews have large families also but the Muslims outnumber the Orthodox so the problem eventually comes down to a numbers problem. Also the outstanding numbers of Palestinian expelled need a solution to be built into the one state equation. - See more at: www.abovetopsecret.com...
The one state solution will never work. Whose state will it be Israeli or Palestinian? - See more at: www.abovetopsecret.com...
Sure they have. You can tell this by how many times the Palestinian government have used their helicopters and jets to bomb the refugee camps. - See more at: www.abovetopsecret.com...
