“We have a saying here that the ‘evil’ of Israel is better than the ‘heaven’ of the West Bank. Here you can say whatever you like and do whatever you want ó so long as you don’t touch the security of Israel. Over there, if you talk about [Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser] Arafat, they can arrest you and beat you up.”
– Shoaa Saad, an Israeli Arab from Umm-al-Fahm, demonstrating how ill-treated the Arabs feel at the hands of Israel.
