No Arabs need apply: Study shows that Arabs, Ethiopians, and Haredis can't find work - even with a degree

Otherwise yeah, it's a democratic state bla bla with equal rights to all citizens as long as they're pure jews.

Study: Israeli employers prefer not to hire Arabs

    One comment on Mondoweiss in relation to this article:
    Nolan:

    "It used to be that Yemenite and Moroccan Jews were looked down upon. These days, Ethiopian Jews are the scapegoat du jour.
    I try to visit friends and relatives in Israel every two years or so. Usually, I travel by public transportation when I’m there, either by bus or train. Anyway, I have noticed that when an Ethiopian is sitting in a window seat and the seat next to him or her remains empty, others prefer to stand than to sit next to that Ethiopian. At first I thought it was a coincidence, but after a few days and weeks I’ve noticed a trend.
    It was kind of awkward to see that knowing how Americans view such issues now days given the historical context of the civil rights movement, Rosa Parks and “sitting in the back of the bus”.

    Quite interesting. This also needs to be publicized. How much are Arab Jews discriminated against inside Israel? I understand that a lot of Israelis are Arab Jews.
