The second sentence from what I shared earlier.

I am not sure if you are purposefully pushing an agenda, but you are most certainly pushing one, perhaps subconsciously due to the influence you have had. Either way, your posts here on this forum should be regarded as highly suspect by everyone reading them.

Quote:
“Arab citizens of Israel, many of whom want to be identified as Palestinians, make up some 18 percent of the population,” wrote the Times in a story about Israeli Arabs after Hamas’s attacks. Well, the reporter identified two such people, so perhaps we have a slightly different definition of “many.” (The Times probably uses the Gaza Health Ministry’s definition.) Such lines are worded this way to give the impression that Arabs in Israel do not identify with their state and in fact believe they are themselves under some form of occupation.

And now we know from reading the New York Times that at least two people feel this way.

The truth is more complicated but also more rewarding for anyone who wants to understand the conflict. Israeli columnist Nadav Eyal points to a new study, which finds a decrease in Arabs’ description of their “most important identity factor” as Arab and an increase in those “who say the most important part of their identity is Israeli citizenship, which now stands at over 33%, surpassing all other factors (religious affiliation, Palestinian identity, and Arab identity).”

Israeli was the top choice for the most important facet of Arab-Israeli identity. The least popular choice? Palestinian, with 8 percent. That certainly counts as “many” people if, say, you’re stuck in an elevator with all them.

Love the addition at the end trying to discredit me as always.

EDIT: also it tells me you've never been to Israel or ever talked to Israeli Arabs. You listen to whatever misinformation you're fed.
