    Yes. Actually, in 1948 when Israel became a recognized state by the UN, Arabs and Jews were living relatively peacefully. However, when Israel was granted statehood, they asked the Arabs to stay in Jerusalem. Instead, they had a mass pullout and declared war on the Jews, vowing their destruction. So to answer your question: Jews are quite tolerant of non-Jews living in their state. Just leave your missiles at home. :)

    Non-Jews are not allowed to become citizens of Israel.

    There are some non-Jewish citizens by birth, not by immigration.

    Jerusalem is not part of Israel, it is an international city controlled by the UN.

    Israel is occupying Jerusalem by force, claiming it is "protecting Israel." But, Israel no legal claim to Jerusalem.

    I dont think they can become citizens, imagine what would happen if a European country like France, Italy, Germany or Britain wouldn't give citizenship to a non-christian...ooh they would be racist wouldnt they?

    geez...imagine england said Indians couldnt be citizens...they would be racist wouldnt they? I think anyone should be allowed to immigrate anywhere and be citizens anywhere! regardless of religion or race!

    certainly, though like the US, with valid reasons. Contrary to myth, many Israeli citizens are non-Jewish Arabs!

    I believe you can, but if you are not Jewish prepare to be discriminated against.
