Sir, – Visitors to Israel might be puzzled by Eamonn McCann's characterisation (Opinion, October 3rd) of the country as one where Jews routinely bully Arabs off the streets – especially since Israeli Jews and Israeli Arabs are not that easy to distinguish by appearance. More to the point, poll after poll has shown that a majority of Israeli Arabs would rather retain their Israeli nationality than become citizens of a future Palestinian state. – Yours, etc,
