27. Unequal access to shelters is yet another form of discrimination Palestinian Citizens of Israel face.

Most Palestinian Citizens of Israel (those called "Arabs" by Israelis) live in three distinct areas of Israel, in towns and villages that are segregated from their Jewish fellow citizens. Ironically mirroring the conditions of their brethren in the West Bank.

The incident you linked to seems to have occurred in a "mixed" neighbourhood. But remember, that is not the norm.

Further, the real issue when it comes to shelters is that the State of Israel has not seen fit to provide Palestinian citizens with nearly the same level of shelters that it has provided to Jewish Israelis.

The Israel Democracy Institute (IDI), an independent research center published a report in the wake of the Tamra attack, describing how “Arab communities remain unaddressed” almost two years since the outbreak of war. The report points to the “significant gaps in protection” between Arab and Jewish communities.

Civil defense capabilities are built into the infrastructure of Israel. Israeli law requires all homes, residential buildings, and industrial building built since the early 1990s to have bomb shelters. These shelters prove crucial to protect Israelis when warning sirens go off – providing the public with safe and fortified locations to hide from incoming rockets.

However, many Palestinian towns in the country’s north “lack public shelters, protected areas, and shelter facilities,” according to a statement from the Association for Civil Rights in Israel.

“The urgency in providing such a response gains secondary validity in light of the fact that the main disparity in the field of defense in the northern district is within Arab towns,” the statement continued.

I just love the talking point "Palestinians in Israel have the same rights as Jewish Israelis" - don't you??
