The Arab citizens of Israel are mostly those who didn't leave after the Arab attack on Israel following the establishment of the state in 1948. These citizens get to live in what is a Western democratic state, where they are free to say what they want and practice religion how they want. They are, dont get me wrong, prejudiced against by many other citizens of Israel, however, in my opinion, they still have a better life than they would in any other Middle Eastern ie. Arab State.
