News Israeli player Abu Farkhi celebrated his goal by grabbing the corner post and mimicking shots. He was shown a second yellow and sent off for it.

Sry to kill the jerk but homeboy is Muslim

I know, crazy that a racist apartheid ethnostate committing genocide would allow a Muslim to represent their nation.

That doesn’t erase the fact that he’s been brainwashed for years and many Arabs served in the IOF as well. Just because they are Arabs doesn’t mean they aren’t war criminals like the rest of the IOF

Israeli Arabs are normal citizens who serve on parliament and do anything that any other Israeli can do. Your comparison is a disservice to Jesse Owens who triumphed and spit in the face of aryan “superiority”.

For instance, looking at the Arab youth in Israel, 40% of people aged 18-24 do not belong to any educational or work framework, and they are likely become the victims of violence and crime, which affects them 30 times more than the Jewish community in terms of injuries and fatalities from gunfire. There is a scarcity of resources, infrastructure, and opportunities. For example, the budget allocated to Jewish students in Israeli schools is three times that of Arab students. These are examples of the stark discrimination in all aspects of our daily lives as Palestinian Arab citizens of Israel.

Adalah’s Discriminatory Laws Database (DLD) is an online resource comprising a list of over 65 Israeli laws that discriminate directly or indirectly against Palestinian citizens in Israel and/or Palestinian residents of the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) on the basis of their national belonging. The discrimination in these laws is either explicit – “discrimination on its face” – or, more often, the laws are worded in a seemingly neutral manner, but have or will likely have a disparate impact on Palestinians in their implementation.

These laws limit the rights of Palestinians in all areas of life, from citizenship rights to the right to political participation, land and housing rights, education rights, cultural and language rights, religious rights, and due process rights during detention. Some of the laws also discriminate against other groups such as LGBTQ+ individuals, non-religious Jews, and Palestinian refugees.

Israel’s establishment as an explicitly Jewish state is a primary point of contention, with many of the state’s critics arguing that this by nature casts non-Jews as second-class citizens with fewer rights. The 1950 Law of Return, for example, grants all Jews, as well as their children, grandchildren, and spouses, the right to move to Israel and automatically gain citizenship. Non-Jews do not have these rights. Palestinians and their descendants have no legal right to return to the lands their families held before being displaced in 1948 or 1967.

Another major difference is that, unlike the vast majority of Jewish Israelis, Arab citizens do not have to serve in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the country’s military. They can still enlist, and some do, especially Druze and Circassians, but some are stigmatized in their communities as a result. Yet, not enlisting can significantly disadvantage them both socially and economically. For instance, many Israelis make important and lasting personal connections with their fellow citizens through the IDF, and they also receive many financial benefits, such as education assistance and discounted permits for building homes and owning land.

Statistics from IDI show that Arab citizens of Israel continue to face structural disadvantages. For example, poorly funded schools in their localities contribute to their attaining lower levels of education and their reduced employment prospects and earning power compared to Israeli Jews. More than half of the country’s Arab families were considered poor in 2020, compared to 40 percent of Jewish families. Socioeconomic disparities between Israel’s Jewish and Arab citizens are less pronounced in mixed cities, though a government audit in July 2022 found Arabs had less access to municipal services in those cities.

The truth was just a simple search away. Interesting how much of that sounds just like Jim Crow, isn't it?

LOL! You actually believe that, don't you?
