This is one of the rare times when the world recalls the existence of Israel's Arab citizens - some 20% of the country
Back in 2023 I wrote about my sense that that community was becoming, paradoxically, more Israeli and more Palestinian at the same time

Few, could articulate it better:
“It is perhaps those in between – those inextricably linked, for good or ill, to both their state and nation – who may remind the rest of us what it means to live with contradictions, to coexist with complexity."

This is absolutely remarkable.
'There is a report in Israel that three polling places in an Arab town in the north have closed because 100% of eligible voters in those areas have voted. The numbers are absolutely astounding.'
