Israel: Generation gap and what the youth is facing.

The social gap and poverty is growing fast in Israel. The unemployment rate is near 10%, forcing Jews to join the army so that they will not only have a job, but also somewhere to go. Because Israel is a Jewish state many Muslims living there are not able to receive the right education, resources, and improvement in skills to help them succeed.  Euromedplatform stated on their website that "There is an unequal allocation of resources for Arab education compared to the Jewish population. In addition, there is a noticeable absence of formal and informal programmes designed to enhance cultural identity."
