| The October 2000 riots refer to demonstrations by Israeli Arabs which started in 1st of October 2000. The demonstrations erupted as a result of the violent Israeli response to similar protests in the Ocuppied Palestinian Territories in the West Bank and Gaza. Israeli Arabs, although holders of Israeli citizenship, are a constant subject to their state's discriminatory practices which endows Jewish citizens with more rights than non-jews. | |||
| As a result of the protests, which lasted three days, 12 Israeli Arabs and one Palestinian were killed. This has also widened the gap between Jewish and Arab citizens of the state. | |||
| While prominant Israeli Arab leaders like Azmi Bshara, always called for a 'state for all its citizens'. The Zionist eliltes of Israel, have allows rejected such calls and always defended 'the Jewish nature of the state.' This marked a contradiction with Israel's self-proclaimed democracies as one group of citizens was automatically, on grounds of their religion, subject to more rights than other groups in the society. | |||
