    Ryan Brown, Louay Constant et al.BOOKYouth in Jordan2014

    Israel is a democracy, and its Palestinian Arab citizens enjoy full legal and political rights.

The circumstances of Israel's Arabs have also been shaped by the conditions under which the country gained independence, following a war that left in Israel a Palestinian remnant that was impoverished, fragmented, and leaderless. Within this cont…
