When Iran missiles start raining Israel, many residents were shaken for the cover. Because people fled to bomb shelters, sirens wept around the country.
But for some Palestinian citizens of Israel – Two million people or 21 percent of about 21 percent of the population – doors, not by the strength of the explosions, not by enemies, but by neighbors and citizens.
Manyly Palestinians living in cities, settlements and villages living in the international levels of Israel, found themselves outside the infrastructure that ended in the worst nights of the Iran-Israeli conflict.
Samar al-Unhappy, a 29-year-old singly mother living in the Jewish housing complex near ACRE, came to the real Friday night in this abroad. He was at home with his five-year-old daughter Cihan. When sirens pierce the air, the warning of the missiles, caught his daughter and fled to the shelter of the building.
“I didn’t have time to collect something,” he said. “Only the water, my phones and my daughter’s hand.”
The mother, who gave the maiden, gentle his daughter’s fear, gently spoke with the steps in the safe, and other neighbors encourage him to speak softly because other neighbors climbed the stairs.
However, after hearing the inelection of the shelter, a resident of Israel, after hearing that he speaks Arabic, closed his entrances and closed their faces.
“I’m amazed,” he said. “I speak fluent in Hebrew. I tried to explain. But I looked up with contempt and only ‘not’ for you ‘.
He said this at the moment he said, the deep sin lines of the Israeli society were naked. It was terrified and horrified by both eyes and neighbors, both eyes and neighbors, to look back and lighten the heavens.
Exception date
Palestinian citizens have long been systematic discrimination for a long time – housing, education, employment and public services. Despite the citizens of Israel, they often act as secondary citizens and their loyalty are regularly questioned in public discussion.
According to Adalah-Israel, the Arab Minority Legal Center, more than 65 laws or indirectly discriminates against Palestinian citizens. In 2018, the National-State Law, Israel, as the “nation-state of the nation of the nation of the nation”, said that a cement was institutionalized by cementing, he said.
During the war, this discrimination is often strengthened.
Palestinian Israeli citizens are often exposed discriminatory police and restrictions in periods of conflict, including Arrest for social media postsOral abuse in entrance to shelters and mixed cities.
Many have said that it is such a discrimination.
33-year-old Mohammad DABDOOB in Haifa, while working in the evening of mystery day, telephones triggered the concern with the sound of the signals at the same time. He tried to make a broken phone postponed. Then he fled the store and ran to the closest public shelter at the bottom of a building behind his shop. He approached the shelter and found his firm door locked.
“I didn’t work. It didn’t work. I didn’t work on the door that I opened the ones inside – I was waiting in Hebrew. No one opened.” Then the moments, a rocket exploded nearby, shaken the glass along the street. “I thought I would die.”
“We had a cigarette and scream and we could hear after a quarter hour, the sounds of the police and ambulance. The scene was terrible, as if I had a nightmare that happened in the port of Beirut,” he said, “he said,” he said, “he said,” he said, ” 2020 Beirut port explosion.
Muhammad, who was opened in a parking lot because of frozen fear and shock, Muhammad, chaos opened, and soon opened the shelter door. Those in the shelter began to be missing and looked at them silently.
“There is no real security for us,” he said. “Not from the missiles, but not from the people who have to be our neighbors.”
Discrimination of shelter access
In the theory theory, all Israeli citizens should have equal access to social security measures, including bomb shelters. The picture in practice is very different.
Palestinian cities and villages in Israel have less protected spaces than Jewish places. According to the Haaretz newspaper in the 2022 report of Israel, Haaretz, more than 70 percent of houses in Israel, there is no safe room or gap in Koda compared to 25 percent of the department. Municipalities often get less financially for civil defense and older buildings go without reinforcement required.
Even in mixed cities as LYDD (LDD), where the Jewish and Palestinian residents live side by side.
A 22-year-old nurse student at the Hebrew University lives in Al-Mahatta neighborhood in Lydd. His family has a three-story building in four decades, official permission and shelter. After the Iranian bombing, after shocking the surrounding world, the family tried to flee a safer part of the city early on Sunday.
“We went to the new part of the LYDD, where the right shelters were.” “He would not have allowed us again. The Jews were turned from poor territories. This was only for ‘new residents’ – those in modern buildings, mostly medium-sized Jewish families.”
The wound remembers the horror of the horror.
“My mother has joint problems and could not run like our rest.” “We are begging us and beat the doors. But people looked at us only through peepholes and ignored us, we occupied the heavens with fires of rockets.”
Fear, trauma and anger
He said he left a psychological wound to turn away from a shelter with his daughter.
“That night, I felt completely alone,” he said. “I didn’t report it to the police – What is the point? They wouldn’t do anything.”
Then he was hit by a villa in Tamra, then, to kill four women of the same family. From the balcony, the smoke rose to the sky.
“It feels like the end of the world,” he said. “Under the attack, we are treated as a threat, not like people.”
Since then, with his daughter, he moved to his parents in a village in the lower Galilee. Together, they can now cuddle in a reinforced room. Each few hours with the signals that are effective to escape to Jordan.
“I wanted to protect Cihan. He still does not know the world. But I didn’t want to leave my land. It’s the dilemma – survival or suffering.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, “After the attacks targeting all Israeli-Jews and Arabs in Iran,” he said.
Before the war, Palestinian citizens were arrested to express their political views in disproportionately or react to the attacks. Some were just stored to send emojis on social media. On the contrary, the online forums were not taken into account in the online forums against the Palestinians.
“The state is waiting for our loyalty in war,” said Mohammad DABDOOB. “But we are invisible when it’s time to protect us.”
Exiquent, wound, Muhammad and thousands like them, the message is clear: they are citizens on paper, but in practice are strangers.
“I want security like everyone,” he said. “I learn to be a nurse. I want to help people. But how can I serve a country that doesn’t protect my mother?”
