I am a Palestinian citizen of Israel

Ibrahim Abu Ahmad of the Regional Organization for Peace, Economics & Security calls himself both Palestinian and Israeli. “For me, to feel whole is to accept everything,” he says.
Today in Israel, Ahmad said that the term ‘Palestinian’ is “perceived as a political statement, not a peoplehood.” Yet Arab citizens make up about 1/5th of Israel’s population.
“We are 2 million people,” he told Blue Marble. “So many in the world don’t even know that we exist. And those who do know we exist, don’t know who we actually are.”
This is Ahmad’s story.

    Most Palestinians living in Israel actually seem upset by their lived experience in israel due to their informal status as second class citizens as they are an after thought in a state intended to be an exclusive jewish one so they are not guaranteed the right of return if they choose to leave temporarily or for their relatives who fled due to war to be allowed back in, bedouin areas aren't protected by the iron dome which the news mentioned this due to the iran attack which injured a bedouin child. Sometimes most people's reality there isn't feel-good content told through the perspective of one guy. I do appreciate his optimism but with the israeli far right currently controlling israel, it's unlikely they are willing to actually resolve anything. The closest to a good leader israel had was Rabin: he is the reason ethiopian jews are even recognised as jews as the israeli right wing considered them impostors due to their black skin and he was the only israeli leader even willing to truly consider peace. He was assassinated with the current israeli security minister Ben-gvir and convicted terrorist(who also incited racism- he was convicted of both in 2007) and netanyahu protesting against him for trying to get illegal settlers out of the west bank and back into israel.

    @@sebia322 you'll have to tell me about your experience in Israel in more detail. It differs from mine somewhat. Israel was never I rented to be an exclusively Jewish country, just read it's declaration of independence. All parts of Israel are protected by iron dome. Most of the rockets were intercepted at very high altitude. The shrapnel that injured the bedouin girl was from a missile that was targeting a nearby airbase. Maybe you meant the Bedouins in question didn't have bomb shelters which may be the case. Ehud Olmert is another Israeli PM who wanted peace. Most Israelis do want peace. They have been systematically gaslighted by right wing governments since the 70s, notbleast of all by Netanyahu's narcissism. Don't forget that we had a left wing coalition very recently that included an Arab party. This pain will have to end soon.

    @@sebia322 Israel was never conceived to be exclusively Jewish. The Declaration of Independence clearly states: Israel "will be based on freedom, justice and peace as envisaged by the prophets of Israel; it will ensure complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants irrespective of religion, race or sex; it will guarantee freedom of religion, conscience, language, education and culture; it will safeguard the Holy Places of all religions; and it will be faithful to the principles of the Charter of the United Nations." Even Zeev Jabotinsky, the father of today's Likud Party, in 1934 wrote a draft constitution for the Jewish state which declared that Arabs would be on an equal footing with their Jewish counterparts "throughout all sectors of the country's public life." The two communities would share the state's duties, both military and civil service, and enjoy its prerogatives. Jabotinsky proposed that Hebrew and Arabic should enjoy equal status, and that "in every cabinet where the prime minister is a Jew, the vice-premiership shall be offered to an Arab and vice versa." en.idi.org.il/media/5103/jabotinsky-idi-2013.pdf Any Arab Israeli (or Palestinian-Israeli, or Palestinian citizen of Israel) holds a passport of equal value to that held by Jewish Israelis, and have full rights of citizenship. To be sure there are problems and discrimination. This has more to do with the conflict between Israel and Palestine and all the distrust that generates. Yet, despite the conflict, Israeli Arabs have integrated well, and continue to integrate. Ibrahim is a prime example of this. I challenge you to find anything similar for Jews in the Arab and broader Muslim world. The reality is most Israelis are descendants of refugees pushed out of their homes in MENA. There were once nearly one million Jews i 10 Arab states. Today there are fewer than 10,000 with most moving here to Israel. See www.jimena.org (Jews Indigenous to the MENA). All outstanding issues between Israel and Palestine can be solved with good will. Refugees. Jerusalem. Final borders. Of course, good will is severely lacking on both sides at the moment.

    Please explain why Samaritans are not ' Palestinians'.. What is a Palestinian? Do you mean that true Palestinians are Arab Philistinesl? Golda Meyer said that she was a Palestinian. WHAT DID SHE MEAN? Even though Palestine was never a sovereign country but just a land area, is not this man's testimony significant in that there are many ethic groups welcomed & given citizenship in Israel, even those whose family have a grievance against Israel? This man is not saying that other ethnic groups are not so important. He is saying that those who blame Israel for stealing the land are believing lies. Even the Qur'an, & those who Arabs muslims who study it, quote the reference of where it is written that God gave the land to the Jews,0 the people of the Book. Just because I have knowledge doesn't mean the unmentioned are insignificant. IT means that I don't agree with many Arab nations & the anti Israel ,& anti- Jew, World, who blame Israel for causing the Arab- Israeli conflict? Are Druze Arabs? Is there a conflict between Druze , Samaritans & Israel,? Israel is accused of their genocide of Arabs & the string of their Land. Perhaps those you mentioned also have a grievance against Israel. Mr. Netanyahu 's administration gives then citizenship but are they persecuted by Jews? Please clarify.

But nobody can deny what we already in terms of coexistence inside Israel. It’s far from perfect, even for sephardic + Mizrahi Jews like myself, an Iranian-Jew.

    G-d gave a portion of the Holy land to the children of Ishmael. Based on Zohar Shemot 32A [R. Hiyya then says] Woe is to the time that Ishmael was born into the world and was circumcised. What did G‑d do [to appease Ishmael]? He distanced the children of Ishmael from supernal cleaving and gave them [only] a portion below in the Holy Land on account of their circumcision. And in the future, the children of Ishmael are destined to rule over the Holy Land for a long time when it is empty from anything, like their circumcision which is empty and imperfect. And they will prevent the children of Israel from returning to their place until the reward for the merit of the children of Ishmael reaches completion. The children of Ishmael [i.e. the Arab nations] will cause great wars in the world and the children of Edom will gather against them and wage war against them, one on the sea, one on the dry land, and one near Jerusalem. And they [the children of Edom] will rule over them [the children of Ishmael], but the Holy Land will not be given over to the children of Edom. [The children of Edom is the Christian West, for Edom is Rome (see Num. 24:19, Rashi) and Rome signifies Greece-Rome and the Roman Catholic Church, the foundations of Western Civilization]

    So you know both sides, do you know the history, do you know and tell the truth about Israel's history, have you or your family ever suffered from a terrorist attack? And if you know both sides and speak the truth how do you defend Palestine's desire to destroy Israel from the river to the sea and yet reap the benefits of living in a free and democratic society, and what would it take for you to sell out Israel for your own benefit and that of your people??? You are to young to know of the atrocities that Israel suffered at the hands of the Palestine's in the 1930's, I have no doubt in my mind that you could not be objective to both sides, if that were the case you would speak of the book you believe in so whole heartedly and tell the truth according to its readings, As your G_D told your profit that if a man kills another it is if he has killed the whole world!! Now on you my dear sir read that entire paragraph and speak the truth, and then and only then will I know you are a decent man!!!

    You’re projecting this negativity onto Palestinian identity, which might say something about your own hatefulness. Also, all national identities are constructs; Israeli identity (or, for that matter, American, French, Russian identity etc) is just as much a construct as Palestinian identity, and Palestinian identity has existed for more than 100 years. You can read about it in Rashid Khalidi’s Palestinian Identity.

So the name of Palestine in negative from the source. There is even no "P" letter in arabic. I respect all people that live in IL, but identity, can not be stolen. They were never a nation, they just refugees originated from the surronding muslim state in the region. Yet, I believe, they have the full right to live in IL, if they will be under the IL goverment, and aim for peace, and untill now, we didn't see this.
