Netanyahu: We Want Arab Citizens to Integrate into Israeli Society
(Times of Israel) "Most Arab citizens of Israel want to integrate into Israeli society. I also want this," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wrote on Facebook on Monday. "It pains me that there are extremists within Arab society who incite the Arab community to go in the opposite direction." As an example of incitement, he referred to protesters who interrupted a speech given last week by a liaison for the Free Syrian Army. "Israeli-Arab students came to disrupt a public meeting about the situation in Syria....They claimed that the Syrian exiles who participated in the conference were traitors to the Syrian people." Netanyahu noted that the Syrians accused the protesters of failing to understand what true oppression involves. "You are living in a paradise compared to Syria," said Issam Zeitoun of the Free Syrian Army. "You should be ashamed."
