How are the ethnic groups different from each other?
A minority group is a subordinate group whose members have significantly less control or power over their own lives than the members of a dominant or majority group have over theirs. The number of people in a group does not necessarily determine its status as a social minority. Sociologist define a minority group with the concern of the economic and political power, or powerlessness, of that group. An example of a minority group in America are homosexuals, or Muslims. Neither group is properly represented politically, or economically, and both groups have issues with certain rights such as the right to marry in some states for homosexuals. "Ethnic" which derives from the Greek word "ethnos" pertains to culture. An ethnic group is a cultural group. They are distinguished by language, customs, cuisine, modes of dress and so on. In most countries there is one dominant majority culture, and members of that group are an ethnic group to be sure. However, it is also common to find countries where there are minority ethnic groups, to whom the majority ethnic group often shows great hostility. Also in places like America, ethnic groups can be composed of several different minority groups. In our "melting pot" we have Black Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, and so on that all compose of one big ethnic group.

Do the ethnic and religious groups of Israel live peacefully?
Within Israel's borders, yes. In the Occupied Territories, no. This does not mean that within Israel all of the groups live harmoniously. There are definitely big questions and issues that Israel's minority communities face, but they address those problems with rallies, unique political parties, and other peaceful mechanisms to hopefully change their situation. In the Occupied Territories, there is a distinction between Israeli Jews, who are subject to Israeli civil law and Palestinian Arabs who are subject to Israeli martial law. These two groups do not live peacefully together.
