Also not all "Israeli Arabs" are Palestinian. There are Arab Jews and there are Palestinian citizens of Israel who do not get treated the same at all.
All Jews in Israel including those of an Arab background are included under Israeli Jews. Itamar Ben Gvier is an Iraqi Jew and he is the most anti-Palestinian and anti-Arab politician in Israel. Israeli Arabs means one thing only and that’s Palestinians with Israeli citizenship.
I would dispute that categorisation because that suggests that oppression of the Palestinians is because they are "Arab" rather than because they are the native Palestinian people. It's a Zionist obfuscation I've heard Palestinians oppose because it means non-Palestinian Arabs end up speaking on behalf of Palestinians. The Palestinians I've met are quite clear on a distinction between Arab people as a race and Palestinian people as a national identity. Not to mention there are Afro-Palestinians and quite white-looking Palestinians who arguably wouldn't normally be counted as Arab due to their race.
Zionists deny the existence of Palestinians. Zionists see Palestinians as generic Arabs with no history or attachment to Palestine. Zionists don’t see the Palestinians as indigenous.
The statements above aren’t what I think. Aren’t true either. They are what Zionists think. That’s why Palestinians are denied by the Israeli government and labeled Israeli Arabs.
White Palestinians, Afro Palestinians, etc… are all considered Israeli Arabs if they have Israeli citizenship. Arabs come in all shades across the Arab World and not just in Palestine.
The people who are downvoting this have no idea what they are talking about or what’s going on. It is wild but this is par the course with “Internet experts”. I am not wasting my time with people who can’t read and who don’t know the history of Zionism and Palestinian identity.
4 of your downvotes were from new, zero content accounts.
I wonder if it is Act-IL or another Zionist troll group.
It's possible, but there's no way of knowing unfortunately. There's also all those US PACs that are hard to keep track of, like correct the record, american bridge 21st century, and a bunch of republican ones too all devoted to defending the zionist agenda in social media spaces.
They manipulate the web and then accuse us of being Russian or Chinese bots.
