Even if that happens, growing numbers of Israel's Arab citizens will be in an anomalous position: as long as the Palestinian problem is unresolved, their own country will be at war with them. In this case, says Ibrahim Sarsur, the Islamicist mayor of Kfar Qasim, "the circle of bloodshed will not be broken." If more Arab Israelis take up the battle for Islamic supremacy even...
