They may work within the 1948 borders but must sleep within their own Israeli-imposed ghettos. Race and religion is one aspect of this nightmare. Land is another. Since 1967, more than half of the best Palestinian land in the Occupied Territories has been expropriated for the benefit of a shrinking Israeli-Jewish population. Daily these expropriations continue without any judicial recourse whatsoever, while a burgeoning Palestin-ian population must survive with less land and fewer resources.
Demographics is another element.
More Jews leave Israel than are replaced by immigration or births. At the same time, despite the daily expulsions and high infant mortality, Palestinians in the Occupied Territories have the highest birthrate in the world. Military occupation of a population nearly as large as one's own is an expensive proposition - in this case well over one billion dollars per year. Here comes the reward for racial and religious discrimination, from our own pockets. United States taxpayers provide Israel in direct grants, forgiven loans, trade, manufacturing and patent arrangements, more than five billion dollars per year.
