I went ahead and checked it out. You are correct. Israel does treat the Muslims better than the Palestinian "government" does. They can drive, have jobs, shop without a male family member escorting them, and all the other things that in your country and mine are just expectations.
Religious Freedom in Israel: Equal Rights in the Jewish State “The State of Israel … will guarantee freedom of religion, conscience, language, education and culture; it will safeguard the Holy Places of all religions; and it will be faithful to the principles of the Charter of the United Nations.”
Israel’s Proclamation of Independence, 1948
In 1948 Israel’s founders committed the fledgling country to be a Jewish state, but ensured the free practice of religion for all, regardless of religious affiliation. While Israel does not have a constitution, the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, over the years enacted Basic Laws that protect freedom of religious affiliation and practice.
Israel’s 2019 population of roughly 8.4 million people is 75 percent Jewish, 18% Muslim, 2% Christian, and 1.6% Druze. The remaining four percent includes immigrants from the former USSR, some non-identifying and others who identify as Jewish, but do not meet the Orthodox Jewish definition of “Jewish.” There are also communities of Samaritans, Karaites, Ahmadi Muslims, Baha’is and various small (in Israel) Christian churches. And on the far end of the spectrum, there are even some Pagans and Witches in Israel.

I have a question. What do people think about Palestinians taking to the streets against Hamas? There seems to be more potential trouble brewing. In that view;
1. Do you support the overthrow of the present government?
2. If there is a revolution, should Israel support a side, and if so, which one?
3. What would you like to see as an end result?
