Israel has charged five Israeli Arabs - one of them a Bedouin - with planning to carry out acts of terrorism against Jews in support of the Palestinian terrorists in Gaza.

According to reports in the Israeli press Thursday, the Arabs are believed to have planned to detonate bombs in Israel and kidnap Israeli soldiers, using them to get Israel to release Arab terrorists from jail.

The Arabs have learned well that Israel is susceptible to such demands - witness the Jewish state's willingness to release hundreds of prisoners in exchange for IDF soldier Gilad Schalit, who was kidnapped more than 1000 days ago. Numerous similar enormously lopsided "prisoner exchanges" have taken place down the years.

Israeli Internal Security Services (Shin Bet) investigated and closed down the Israeli Arab cell, in the process discovering a number of bombs the suspects had acquired or prepared.

Photos of the five men were splashed across the pages of the Israeli press, the news adding to already widely-held Jewish Israeli suspicions of their Arab fellow citizens.

While many Israeli Bedouin have proven their loyalty to the state, serving in the IDF and not a few paying the ultimate sacrifice, the majority of Israeli Arabs are "Palestinians" who chose to live under Israeli rule after 1948. They enjoy all the benefits of Israeli Jews, even though they are not conscripted to serve in the military.

Members of this community - including parliamentarians in the Knesset and students on Israeli university campuses - have openly and repeatedly pledged their allegiance to Israel's Arab enemies, exploiting the freedom of speech enjoyed in Israel's democracy to spread and practice sedition.
