The Israeli Justice Minister Daniel Friedmann addressed a gathering of the presidents of major American Jewish organizations recently. At the meeting Friedmann defended Israel’s actions during recent anti-terror operations in Gaza.

Friedmann then went on to make it clear that “Israeli-Arabs” are treated liberally and well. So much so that they have access to rights that no other minority group has anywhere in the world:

“International law recognizes that in certain circumstances, innocents can be hurt. If a child is brought in front of a military target, it is still a military target,” said Justice Minister Daniel Friedmann on Wednesday in a response to global outrage against Israel following alleged violations of human rights during Operation Cast Lead.

Addressing participants at the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, Friedmann added: “If you have one soldier trapped in a city, you do not destroy an entire city to get there. The Israeli army has taken every precaution to prevent injury and death to civilians. We are going to great lengths to avoid harm and even endanger our own soldiers to avoid casualties on the other side.”

…The minister also related to the status of the Arab minority in Israel.

“There is no country in the world treating a minority more liberally than Israel treats the Israeli Arabs,” he said. “They identify with our enemies, but we take care of them. […] They are represented in the parliament. This would not happen anywhere else in the world.”
