This week, Israel was formally accepted as a full member in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD. Israel is now one of only 34 advanced countries with robust economies that participate fully in searching for answers to global challenges and establishing standards in many technical, economic and social arenas.

Of course, the Palestinian Authority, whose economy is almost totally dependant upon Israel, attempted to block Israel’s entry into the prestigious international body.

Fortunately, as usual, they failed…Fortunate for Israel…Fortunate for the palestinians, as well…Whether they know it or not…

Israeli Arab citizens second class citizens? I don’t think so.
In fact, in some ways the JEWISH Israelis are discriminated against in favor of the Arabs.

The protests, threats and violence would be unbelievable, as previous attempts by Jews to move in to “Arab” cities in Israel have proven.
