During recent Iranian missile attacks on Israel, Palestinian citizens faced discrimination, being denied access to bomb shelters by Israeli neighbors. This reflects a long history of systemic discrimination in housing, employment, and state services. Accounts from Samar al-Rashed, Mohammed Dabdoob, and Yara Srour detail how they were turned away from shelters despite holding Israeli citizenship. The incidents highlight the disparity in safety provisions between Jewish and Palestinian communities, with the latter often lacking adequate bomb shelters and facing discriminatory treatment during wartime. Despite official statements of equal protection, the reality on the ground reveals a stark contrast.
