Some 66 years after the establishment of the State of Israel, whose Declaration of Independence promises absolute equality of rights for all the country's citizens, there is a noticeable gap between Jews and Arabs. There is no need to exhaust one's self reading the abundant data about the increase in systematic discrimination against Israeli Arabs, as detailed on the website of the Association for Civil Rights in Israel.

It is sufficient to hear the testimony of the leader of the HaBayit HaYehudi Party, Minister of Economy and Trade Naftali Bennett, who is hardly suspected of having leftist sentiments. Last October, he complained that only 2% of Arabs who studied computer programming work for Jewish employers. "It is simply bizarre," said Bennett at a conference organized by the PA to Develop the Arab Sector, admitting that there was "deep-rooted discrimination against Israeli Arabs in the job market."
