Israel/Palestine
In reply to the discussion: Stop With the Nonsense That Palestinians Are a Minority in Israel [View all]Shaktimaan
(5,397 posts)How about in how Israel administers access to religious sites? They handed control of Al Aqsa over to an Islamic Waqf and all but completely ban Jewish prayer there, even though the holiest Jewish site also exists there.
But that's not what you asked. You said that "Israel's rule over Palestinians is only aimed at diminishing their well-being, not to help them in any way." There are countless examples that disprove your statement. When Israel left the Gaza strip in 2005, it left the network of greenhouses behind to give the newly autonomous strip some basic economic opportunities. Palestinian Israelis enjoy universal health care like all other Israelis, yet are not required to serve in the Army as everyone else is. They can if they want to, of course, which is somewhat better than equal treatment in that case.
Otherwise, Palestinian Israelis enjoy equal rights under the law, and Israel's Supreme court has affirmed Palestinian-Israeli's right to live free of discrimination over and over again. As compared to how surrounding Arab states, like Lebanon, treat their own Palestinian population, Israel is arguably one of the very best states in treating this minority well.
