With the subsequent growth of their numbers, owing to a higher natural increase and migration from rural and peripheral areas, the Haifa Arabs have regained their focal role, and the pre-1948 coexistence has been restored. Jews and Arabs live together, study together, belong to the same clubs, ride the same buses, shop in the same malls, and eat in the same restaurants. It is hardly surprising, therefore, that when on October 4, 2003, Hanadi Jaradat, a 29-year-old lawyer from Jenin, blew herself up in a bustling Haifa restaurant on a peaceful Saturday afternoon, murdering twenty-one people and wounding another sixty, the establishment chosen for the heinous crime was of joint Arab-Jewish ownership, and the victims—both Jews and Arabs.

Indeed, the occasional suggestions to redraw Israel's borders, in the framework of a comprehensive peace settlement, so as to allow predominantly Arab frontier areas to be included in the prospective Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza, have invariably been rejected by the Israeli Arabs, who would rather remain citizens of the Jewish state than join their bothers in a newly created state. Even the residents of the territories, for all their criticism and grievances, have consistently ranked Israel among the most admired democracies in the world, in stark contrast to their scathing opinion of Arab regimes, including their own Palestinian Authority. As late as 2011, most of surveyed Palestinians in east Jerusalem, who are entitled to Israeli social benefits and are free to travel across Israel's pre-1967 borders, said that they would rather become citizens of the Jewish state than citizens of a new Palestinian one.

-'Arab Media Debunks the Palestinians’ Apartheid Lie', Israel Today, July 28, 2022.<blockquote>
Saudi magazine highlights success of Israeli Arabs, both Muslims and Christians, who choose to join the IDF and defend Israel.
Who better to debunk the lie championed by the Palestinians and their apologists that Israel practices "apartheid" against Arabs than mainstream Arab media in the Middle East?
That’s what happened this week when a Saudi monthly magazine ran a feature story highlighting the success of Israeli Arabs in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
Of course, if Israel were truly an "apartheid" state, then Arabs wouldn’t be allowed in the IDF, much less actively recruited to join its ranks. But as the article’s author, Kurdish-Swedish journalist and researcher Suzan Quitaz, pointed out, Israeli Arabs are being actively and successfully recruited, even though Israel’s laws make military service mandatory only for Jewish citizens.
Published in the Saudi monthly Al-Majallah, the article notes a rise in recent years in the numbers of Arab Muslims and Christians signing up to defend the Jewish state alongside their Jewish countrymen.
As an example of this phenomenon, Quitaz wrote about Ella Waweya, a decorated and high-ranking female Arab officer in the IDF. "Ella’s story is an extraordinary one—she was born in 1989 in the Israeli Arab town of Qalansawe, a few miles from the city of Netanya," explains the article. “She joined the IDF in 2013 and completed her training as an exemplary soldier and participated in many operations.
In 2015, she received the President’s Outstanding Medal," continued the report. "In September 2021, Ella was promoted to the rank of major in the Israel Defense Forces and became the first Arab Muslim woman to attain this rank." The original article was translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI). With reporting by JNS.</blockquote></ref>
