U.S. State Department: Israel is not a tolerant society

“Israel dismally fails the requirements of a tolerant pluralistic society, according to a new report from the U.S. State Department.

Despite boasting religious freedom and protection of all holy sites, Israel falls short in tolerance toward minorities, equal treatment of ethnic groups, openness toward various streams within society, and respect for holy and other sites.”

"As if they ever did! "

WE always did and do, GR. It's our primitive neighbors who don't know the meaning of peace and have never done.

How do you expect them to react if you keep ethnically cleansing them and taking over their land?

[Linichka]

No one's "ethnically cleansing" them. They are all still there, are they not? In any event, they were on the attack and otherwise behaving like savages long before the State of Israel came into being. Hatred of Israel is probably the sole unifying issue for Arabs. Outside this, they're quick to opress and kill each other.
