Wadi Ara Arabs don't want to become Palestinians

The Arab towns of "The Triangle" region in Israel, such as Umm Al Fahm, Baqa Al Gharbiyya, Taibe and others, are upset with Trump's Deal of the Century.

Since the beginning of peace talks between the Palestinians and the Israelis, way back in the early 90s, The Arab towns in The Triangle region were always considered potentially for land swaps in an eventual agreement, with these Arab villages going to a new Palestinian State with other lands going to Israel. They always opposed it, despite their hard-core and even extremist and fundamentalist stances against Israel. The populations of these towns are not, generally, friendly and cooperative Israeli Arabs, as the residents of Abu Ghosh, for example, are. These are often Israeli Arabs that are somewhat hostile to Israel and to Israelis. Yet they have always said they wish to remain part of Israel.

And they are saying it again.

The representatives of these towns are speaking out against Trump's Deal of the Century because the Deal calls for them to be absorbed into a new Palestinian State that would be founded.

These Israeli Arabs want to stay part of Israel and not become Palestinians.

And they have a good claim. They aren't Palestinian Arabs with refugee status or some other non-Israeli status. Despite their hostile environment, they are full Israeli citizens. I can understand why they do not want to give that up and become part of a Palestinian state.

That's how bad the corruption out there must be - even the biggest supporters only want it for other people, but not for themselves...
