Israeli racism is going up, not down, and there's a reason for that. And it's not because at some deep root of their culture they're racists genetically. They feel a lot of pressure from the outside world. This sort of thing also causes nationalism, as well. Especially when people are armchair warrioring about how they can't extol their LGBT virtues.
That being said, still a majority of Israeli-Arabs don't feel persecuted. You won't get that statistic of Arab-LGBT, that's for damn sure.
Oh, I should say one last thing, ethnic and racial bigotry is going up on that side of the planet, like, crazy, throughout EU, Russia, it's on the rise. Same with nationalism. Why, I can't pin down a reason, but it's going up. It's not just relegated to the "evil Jewish state."
