A surprising process of 'Israelization' is taking place among Palestinians in East Jerusalem

or better yet, just go home.

There is no objectivity in this article. Most sources are from the left and the way this Israelization is described is clearly one sided. What is nice, however is that Haaretz cannot hide that Jerusalem Arabs are more interested in being Israeli today than Palestinians maybe one day in a very distant future. This article is a rebuttal to many years of Haaretz's antisionist propaganda. Truth is, the palestinians are not a nation and do not care about having their fake state. They have the aspirations of any other normal human beings and want to live in peace and have a future. No palestinian fake state will ever provide that, the same way no muslim society has ever been able to provide peace, prosperity and tolerance to its citizens. This is "stubborn facts".

As much as I have to criticize Haaretz for its strongly and stubbornly one sided articles, I'm happy to see (or rather read) that not all hope is lost, when it comes to reading a good piece of journalism in your newspaper/on your website. Thank you for an insightful and interesting read on a topic which in my opinion does not got enough attention.

It is always good news when everyone decides to not kill each other. The Israelis should try to "win hearts and minds" by treating everyone justly and even handedly. It just might work. What is the alternative? Has oppression worked? And I doubt that the western main stream media will pick up on this for years, if ever. You will know it worked, when Jews can live in Beirut again. If ever.

Very interesting article! Thank you

I told them if they wear blue and flirt with Rabbis they can have those crazy hills

Arabs must take a cue from their Jewish brethren to make a secular, peaceful & progressive middle east. Thats the way out to make a stable middle-east with keeping human-rights @ the top of the agenda. If the Arabs followed suit in terms of religion by 6th century, then y not now, the new jewish way of life of 21st century a truely secular nation in the whole of middle east?

Israel is surely the desert lotus of middle east. Hope the lotus blooms & rest of the middle east follows its footsteps to make a secular, stable, prosperous & peaceful middle east with the basic human rights as its primary code of conduct. To the Arab, you simply follow your elder jewish bro if at all you want to make it to the prosperous future....

Palestinians will be happy to have israeli citizenship too with equal rights. Let it be One State Solution with equal rights.

When "multiculturalism" settles in, the end is near.
