This is happening between Palestinians. You can call them Arab Israelis if you want but they still identify as Palestinians. Splitting them up for the sake of division with these policies is political and systematic.
And yes a double standard applies compared to other countries because Israel identifies as a western liberal democracy whereas the others don’t or no one implies that they seriously are.
That's the point. There is no path to becoming "naturalized", a legal resident or much more-so a citizen in your own country - whether you see that as Palestine or Israel. This is just one more mechanism to humiliate a population of millions.
The answers about the population not having the will to fight miss the point completely and are irrelevant and propagate racist views. Afghanistan has a pre-existing system of tribal relationships that are constantly dynamic. The Taliban are effective because they negotiated a path with the pre-existing power structures. The central government is only one player of many.
Most folks I know that purchase properties are not in it for cashflow. Breaking even is enough. The goal is to purchase the next one with a downpayment against existing equity. The deck of cards falls apart if the property market corrects significantly but how is that different than everything else happening in this economy.
By passive I'll assume you mean less effort and risk than starting a new business that requires daily attention.
The nice things about the property market are:
1. High leverage - to a very high amount when you put down payments greater than 30-50%.
2. Managed or protected by some governments. Gives a more consistent rate of growth in many fast growth cities.
3. Cashflow and appreciation.
The details matter and there's obviously skill involved in making it work. At some point like other businesses you will need to hire others to manage the day-to-day if you choose to keep growing.
