Do 1948 Arabs in Israel work as even cops?
I know that when Israel was given the land in 1948, about 1 million local inhabitants (Palestinians) who wanted to stay were given Israeli papers and allowed to stay as a group called Arab 1948. I know they join the Knesset and everything. My question is what jobs are they prohibited from holding? Can they work as cops even?

It is a group known as Arab Israelis, they are not prohibited from holding any jobs. Israeli Arabs can be police officers if they wish. They are not obligated, but are also able to hold any job in the military. I had a Druze commander and an Arab soldier in a combat unit.

Woo, yes they sure can and do work as cops, matter of fact they serve in all IPD (Israeli Police Department) branches, during my years on the force many Israeli Arabs , both Muslim and Christians served under my command, while attending courses in the police academy I was lectured by Arab Captains Superintendents and Chief Superintendents. As an example .... then Captain Nabil Issawi lectured on traffic, he is still on the force, youll find his name some 10 lines down, Chief Superintendent Nabil Issawi of the Northern District traffic police, http://www.haaretz.co.il/hasite/objects/pages/PrintArticle.jhtml?itemNo=829710 ,

Israel has never legally denied any citizen any job. Since 1948. Meaning, that Arabs could work as cops. The question is not if they are allowed to join, because they are Arab; rather, the question is if they want to join. Many Arabs are Israeli cops, especially in the areas which are heavily populated by the Arabs. There are Arab majority towns, and I'll give you a guess who the local cops are. Arabs have never been forbidden jobs. Now, they are unlikely to get some jobs, like Prime Minister's position, but that's hardly a surprise. As long as they had Israeli papers, they were citizens, which equivalent rights to any other Israeli, Jew or Arab.

israeli arabs can hold any job they'd like. there are judges, members of the knesset, ministers, cops, soldiers (though they are not forced to join the army), engineers - any job.
5 :
Sure as long as they roll over when ordered to.

i know 2 of my fellow christian arabs who are in IDF.

There are plenty of Arab (by the way, do you mean Muslim or Christian or both?) in the police force, and not just in their own towns. There are many Arab (both Christian and Muslim) judges, and one of them handed down a relatively long sentence to our rapist former president, Mr. Katzav. Lots of Jews didn't like that. I don't think there are many jobs that are officially banned to ARabs of either religion (maybe defense related jobs), but sometimes the antidiscrimination laws don't work very well, KWIM?

Yes they can. The only limitation for the Israeli arabs is the military service. They are not drafted. And you made some mistakes. Those who wanted to stay were not some Palestinians, they were Arabs. Until 1967, the word "Palestinian " was a synonym of the word "Jew", and to call an Arab a "Palestinian" meant to insult him . Also the number of these Arabs who got the Israeli citizenship was not " a million" in 1948; it was 180,000. In 65 years under the "cruel and apartheid Israeli rule" they became 1, 2 million people.

The Knesset (Hebrew: ×›× ×¡×ªâ€Ž, lit. Assembly) is Israel's unicameral parliament. Its 120 members are elected to 4-year terms through party-list proportional representation (see electoral system, below), as mandated by the 1958 Basic Law: The Knesset. As the legislative branch of the Israeli government, the Knesset enacts laws, supervises government activities, and is empowered to elect or remove the President of the State or State Comptroller from office. The March 2006 elections produced five prominent political parties; Kadima, Labor, Shas, Likud and Israel Beytenu, each with more than ten seats in the Knesset. However, only once has a single party held the 61 seats needed for a majority government (the Alignment from 1968 until the 1969 elections). Therefore, aside from that one exception, since 1948 Israeli governments have always comprised coalitions. As of 2006, there are 12 political parties represented in the Knesset, spanning both the political and religious spectra.

Will my non-simlocked mobile from Germany work in Israel if I buy an Israeli SIM
Will my non-simlocked mobile from Germany work in Israel if I buy an Israeli SIM?
The phone is about 3 years old but has served me well on every trip through Europe by purchasing a SIM in that country. Also, it has a standard Euro plug, will that also work in Israel?

Of course.

I don't see any problem in your plan; though, I don't have any practical experience in that area. For the Euro plug, though, you will probably need an adapter.
