Israel's minister of interior calls for withdrawing Israeli nationality from the Arabs of 1948
Palestine-Israel, Politics, 4/2/2002

The Israeli minister of the Interior Elie Beshai on Monday considered that "all Arabs of Israel" who take part in "aggression" should be deprived of the Israeli nationality. This was expressed in a statement he made to the Israeli official radio.

The Israeli minister who is also the chairman of the extremist "Shaas" party for the Safardim Jews said after the "martyrdom" operation in Haifa to the north resulted in killing 16 Israelis and its executors, which the media said he is an Israeli Arab.

The Israeli minister stressed he wants to freeze requests for unifying the ranks between the Palestinians and the Arabs of Israel, if a certain official policy will be set to this effect.

Worthy mentioning that the Arabs of Israel, who are the Palestinians who stayed in their lands after the foundation of Israel in 1948 suffer racist discrimination, in comparison with the Jews, although these Israeli Arabs were recognized by the supreme court.
