I think that it's part of a growing recognition, after decades of suicide bombings and thousands of dead and wounded Israelis, that Arabs need to be marked as potentially dangerous.

It's a matter of survival, not racism.

I'm sure that once Arab and Islamic terrorism stops, there will be no need to view Arabs in this way.

But aside from this, there is something that I never understood about Israeli society -

For some reason, construction is considered to be dirty work there, and despite huge unemployment in Israel, many Jews are willing to live on welfare instead of taking construction jobs.

Not only would Israeli society be much better off economically if the construction sector was populated by Israeli Jews, but it would also greatly reduce the terrorism risk.
