An Arab couple from northern Israel claims their one-year-old daughter was kicked out of a daycare center in a neighboring Jewish community "because
she is an Arab", and have decided to take the matter to court.
However, in an unprecedented legal move, the parents are not suing the daycare center itself, but one of the mothers who they say incited the rest of
the parents against their daughter and got her kicked out of the center. This could pave the way for lawsuits not against the discriminating
establishment, but against a third party for applying pressure and incitement.
The couple lives in the Arab village of Sulam near the Jewish community Merhavia near Afula. Some eight months ago, when their daughter, D. turned
one, they decided to register her in a Merhavia daycare center. www.ynetnews.com...
Israel is an apartheid state with a complex social order. Secondary and tertiary citizens are basically non-white in European terms. Arabs, whether
Jews or Palestinians are dealt with less than the European colonialists and their descendent.
Of course there are descent Israelis that get on with the Palestinian Israeli citizens and Arab Jews but there are many racist citizens permitted to
discriminate by an indecent government.
