Wow, that would have been interesting to visit. A sanctuary for meeting "the other" on human terms.

I think your idea of the environment in Israel is a bit different than my experience there.

All of Israel has Arabic Muslims who are free to travel. If you walk the streets of Tel Aviv you’ll see all of the article’s ethnic groups.

You experience differs from reality, then.

Palestinian-Israelis* are free as blacks under Jim Crow laws were free. Maybe less of a "no colored allowed" signs out there, but the sentiment is. FFS, Netanyahu just admitted in public what until now was known but wasn't said: a large part of the Jewish population of Israel does not consider Palestinian-Israelis to be equal.

Just ask your Palestinian-Israeli colleagues.

* the term you used could be considered derogatory, I'd try to not use it if I were you. for non Israeli readers, I'll have to explain the joke: the probability he has one is minuscule to none.

Why could the term "Arabic Muslims" be considered derogatory?

> Why could the term "Arabic Muslims" be considered derogatory?

In reference to ethnically Palestinian citizens of Israel, it might be considered derogatory for the same reason referring to Muslim American citizens with ancestry in sub-Saharan Africa as “African Muslims” would be.

Probably my idea is, but I also mean meet, not just walking by or nodding politely or whatever in the grocery store.

Does a place like this exist in the NYC area?

There used to be an Arab-focused LGBT dance party called Habibi, which isn't the same thing, but at least the DJs may know where else to go
