WP: Jews and Arabs in Israel more estranged after war

In short, more Jews will think Kahane was right, that a state is weakened, not strengthened, by the presence of different races and religions, that Israel, for example, would be better off if it had no Arabs. The average IQ would skyrocket and crime would fall. So too, the United States would be stronger if it were the historically white Christian nation (meaning 80-90% of the citizens) it once was.

Nature has color-coded people so that you can see at a glance what you are likely to confront.

The Washington Post reports:

“What we’ve seen in the last two months are ugly expressions of hyper-nationalism,” said Tamara Hermann, a political scientist who said that “some people think all Israeli Arabs are a fifth column.”

Hermann works for the Israel Democracy Institute, a nonpartisan think tank that has run ads urging Jewish Israelis to be more tolerant of Israeli Arabs who have expressed sympathy for the suffering of Palestinians during Israel’s military operation in the Gaza Strip.

Talal says he is afraid to visit the Jewish towns and neighborhoods he used to frequent, because he has heard tales of Arabs being subjected to insults, discrimination and even beatings by Jews.
