This is a very revealing video. A reality show had a female Arab actor play a customer going in to a gas station/convenience store to purchase a coffee. The man behind the counter, also an actor, tells her, in front of several average Israelis, who are not actors, that he will not serve Arabs. The video shows several groups of Israelis (not actors) reacting to this scenario. Their responses are, I think, more overt and I would say impressive, than most would have expected. While those in other areas of Israel might perhaps react somewhat differently (this is only one location in a secular neighborhood), it is clearly the case that, at least for these Israelis, anti-Arab racism has no place in their society at all. From the responses of these Israelis in the video, I do not think there is a more tolerant society anywhere.
One must wonder how such a scenario might play out in the streets of Cairo, Tehran, or Damascus. How about Gaza City? Ramallah? We need not ask how it might happen in Riyadh, because Israeli Jews are not allowed into Saudi Arabia, much less be served there. Would discrimination against Jews in general be tolerated? Of course in all of these places such discrimination would be tolerated. In most, if not all of them, people might even applaud and join in.
Take a look at the video. Learn about Israelis.
