A recent poll asked Arab citizens if they "feel part of the country". The "Yes" response has gone up from 48% in June to 70% post this Gaza conflict ... the highest it's ever been.
Some years ago I met a young Israeli Arab, a Bedouin, who had nothing but praise for the State of Israel. During the conversation I brought up the subject of religion ... he laughed and made it very plain that he was no longer a Muslim ... that he was not (and actually never had been) religious in any way. Israel had allowed him to "be himself". I've also met young Jewish Israelis who casually dismissed their religious background as being of no importance to them. A recent survey found that over 50% of Israelis said that they do not believe there is a God, or that they only sometimes think that there might be a God. The youth of Israel, as in other parts of the world, are "moving away from religion."

I used to stay in a hotel in the northern part of Tel Aviv quite regularly, near what used to be Dov Airport. I found the Israeli hospitality not very good, rather rude and take it or leave it, but there were bars and restaurants nearby run by Arabs who were charming and welcoming.
Along the seafront were Mosques, Catholic Churches, Synagogues and it was very cosmopolitan, Tel Aviv was one of my favorite destinations simply because no one cared who you were or where you came from, it was just a pleasant place to be.

You think a lack of religious believe is going to solve the problem?
They have had 1300 years to sort out their differences, and add to that countries like Iran funding propaganda and weapons that will never let there be peace. Notice the lack of woke protests about Iran funding Hamas...

Yes, it has long been recognised that Israel is not led or controlled by religion, and that in many ways it is a secular country. It doesn't matter if you are a religious Jew or a secular Jew, you will remain a target for too many Muslim Arabs. |

most importantly, regarding providing all the ideas within a blog post.
Provided that we had been aware of your blog a year
ago, we would have been rescued from the needless measures
we were participating in. Thanks to you. toys for adults
