For most Arabs, migration to Jewish towns is unthinkable. This is just as well as some Jewish residents make concerted efforts to prevent Arabs from moving in. In many cases both Arabs and Jews in Israel are alienated from one another and continue to live in segregated localities. The mutual sense of fear and alienation implies that although some Arabs and Jews work together, they still prefer to reside in separate neighborhoods. This is reinforced by governmental discriminatory policies which tolerate the behavior of some Jewish communities that refuse to have Arabs as their neighbors, and Arab hamula behavior preventing non-hamula members from moving into their neighborhood.
The remaining 55,700 live in 36 unrecognized villages which are regarded as ‘illegal’ pursuant to the 1965 Planning and Construction Law, and which requires all construction to be subject to a permit for building. Since they lack the necessary licenses (whether in unrecognized or most of the villages recognized as part of regional councils since 2003), residents live under constant threat of the demolition of their homes, often shacks with tin roofs, which become unbearably hot in the summer and do not provide adequate shelter during the cold winters.
