I actually missed the referenced link and you did not place it here (please add it) - onto the "backed up by evidence" part. I don't know about the materials you've been reading and the people you've been talking with, but it's surveys and statements by arab officials that matter - not a general conception/gut feeling - if you dispute a material which seems to be valid (and ramle is a city that has many resources directed to it), you should bring counter evidence.

here's another link:
http://www.cjaed.org.il/Heb/Index.asp?CategoryID=87&ArticleID;=49
that shows arabs being promoted economically in israel, i'll try to
see to it later this week or something - unless someone allready
adds it.
