    There are covenants all through Israel that forbid travel and residency by “full citizens” Palestinians of Israeli citizenship. There are separate schools. Do we not remember “separate is not equal”?

      Most schools are integrated. There’s no seperate busses or restrictions.

      America has issues with home owners associations too. It also has religious schools. Ever hear about redlining or looking at a ethnicity map of a city like Chicago or Detroit?

      Israeli Arab travel is not restricted inside of Israel. You are probably thinking of the west bank.

      Btw Israeli jews aren’t allowed into parts of the west bank and Jerusalem either.

      Here’s a very real lived experience for you: anyone can go to the Western Wall in Jerusalem, the 2nd most holy Jewish site with a security check. Anyone can go to the major Christian sites. Only Muslims are officially allowed to go to the Temple Mount, the first most holy Jewish site.
