Arab Christians who have lived in Palestine for centuries, how do they fare under the Zionist State of Israel? I follow the Orthodox meaning of Zionist:

After reading about Arab Christians in Israel, how happy can they be with the modern Zionist State?

"Arab Christians in Israel have faced discrimination and marginalization, but not necessarily as a direct result of the formation of the modern State of Israel.

Historically, Arab Christians in Palestine, including those who remained in what became Israel after 1948, have been subject to various forms of discrimination and exclusion. This was perpetuated by the Ottoman Empire, the British Mandate, and later by the Israeli government.

In Israel, Arab Christians have been treated as a minority within a minority, with many facing economic and social disparities compared to Jewish citizens. They have also been excluded from decision-making processes and have limited representation in government and institutions.

However, it’s important to note that Arab Christians in Israel have also maintained a distinct identity and have been more integrated into Israeli society compared to Arab Muslims. According to the search results, Arab Christian citizens of Israel have:

Lower poverty rates and higher median household incomes compared to Arab Muslim citizens
Higher representation in white-collar professions and education
A stronger sense of belonging to Israeli society

Despite these differences, Arab Christians in Israel still face discrimination and marginalization, particularly in areas such as housing, employment, and political representation. The Israeli government’s policies and practices have contributed to these disparities, including the lack of representation in government and institutions, limited access to resources and services, and discrimination in the job market.

In summary, while the formation of the modern State of Israel did not directly create Arab Christians as second-class citizens, the historical and ongoing discrimination and marginalization they face are deeply rooted in the complex dynamics of Israeli society and politics."
