[RBS] [BS/RBS list] Arabs shopping in Yesh

[Kaminker]

But as far as I can tell these are generally not residents of our little
town as they are in Jerusalem and Haifa that have large Arab populations.
They are often illegal workers or worse.  It was just in the news recently
that a pigua was being planned for Beit Shemesh (chas v'shalom) by Arab
workers who'd been working here. I don't think anyone would want to shop in
the same store with those guys! So with all do respect to democracy, etc.,
most of us are law abiding and tax paying citizens as opposed to our non
citizen cousins and we deserve a right to go shopping without fear in our
city.  Shabbat Shalom

Guess what everybody? We live in a free, democratic country. There is no way
for anyone to prevent Arabs from shopping in Yesh, just as Osher Ad can't
make secular women wear shawls, and the Reishit pool can't prevent chassidim
from coming to swim (no offense to any secular women or chassidim -these are
just things I've heard others complain about!). It may be unpleasant and
even frightening for us to see Arabs in our store, but it is quite
commonplace to see Arabs shopping in Jewish stores in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv,
and Haifa, as well as on the train from Tel Aviv to Beit Shemesh (they get
off in Ramle, Lod, and Jerusalem). Our little immigrant town is becoming a
big city, and we will have all the perks and problems that all cities have.
Now only if there were as many sightings of police patrol cars as there have
been of Arabs....
