They can't intermarry with other Israelis (unless they travel abroad to do so)

You wrote that to strengthen your claim that Israeli Arabs are 2nd class citizens.

The fact is that in Israel, Israeli Jews cannot marry Israeli Jews-for-Jesus either. It has nothing to do with Arabs having 2nd class citizenship. So was that just an ignorant statement? Do you disagree for some reason? Or were you flat-out wrong?
