Two Arab towns that plumb Israel's conscience
Transcribed from the clipping
“The Government is suddenly showing a new sensitivity to the often-heard accusation that Arab Israelis are second-class citizens. Even as it refuses the restoring of Berem and Ikrit to their former inhabitants, the Government has resolved to review its entire policy toward the Israeli Arab minority of some 400,000 souls, or 14 per cent…”

Amos Elon in the Times magazine, on Bir’im and Iqrit. Both word orders stand in adjacent sentences, written by the same man on the same afternoon:
Arab Israelis carries the accusation,
Israeli Arab carries the policy. It is tempting to read a rule into that and the rest of the paper does not support one. What it does show is that in 1972 the two forms were interchangeable to a careful writer.
