Under apartheid, black South Africans could not vote and were not citizens of the country in which they formed the overwhelming majority of the population.
In a survey in 2003 more than 80 percent of Palestinians consistently choose Israel as a gov't they admire the most because they can see up close the thriving democracy in Israel, and the rights the Arab citizens enjoy there. Same survey in contrast, Palstinians placed Arab regimes down the list, and their own Palestinian Authority at the bottom with only 20 percent saying they admire the corrupt Arafat regime in 2003.

When you pull that bizarre ass survey our of your ass, I'm not sure what to say.
Israelis haven't spent 60 years with their boot on the Palestinians' necks because they are admired. They do it because the Palestinians would drive them into the sea if given an oppurtunity .
