Over at the Head Heeb there's an interesting post that highlights a paradox all too common to political divides in Israel - How does one give the Arabs some autonomy without endangering the ability of individual Arabs to integrate into the country? Jonathan's post plays out these ideas when examining two recent news stories. One deals with the building of what "would be Israel's first new Arab community since the founding of the state in 1948". The other deals with the ability of small villages to keep Arabs from moving into them. Throw in Supreme Court rulings, and it's a fasincating, though not especially hopeful, piece.
