In certain elections, up to nine members of Israel's Arab parties in one of those elections were elected to the Knesset.
So the fuck what? You can also have secular Catholics too, people who like the rituals without believing in a god.
The words "secular Catholics" do not refer to an ethnicity of a person, but the word "Jew" can.
