Reader comment on item: Does Europe Have No-go Zones?
in response to reader comment: Similarities in Israel
Submitted by John in Michigan, USA (United States), Jan 25, 2015 at 14:33
Thank you for keeping it real -- Correcting the incorrect or hyperbolic statements make by some on Fox, and refining your own terminology based on experience.
I am also impressed by the number of commenters citing evidence for the points they make, instead of just sounding off with their opinions. Opinions + evidence is way, way more persuasive. More, please!
re alleged no-go zones in Israel - delighted to read that there are no major areas in Israel proper that are problematic for Jews to enter.
I suspect the same it true in reverse, i.e. within Israel proper, there are no areas that are problematic for Arab/Muslim citizens of Israel to enter...but I'd like to see that point discussed in more detail and documented, so I can show that evidence to friends that need to see it!
