Discrimination faced by Palestinians living within Israel’s borders remains one of the key sticking points in Middle East peace talks.
 
Umm al-Fahm is a town made up almost entirely of Palestinian Israelis – those who found themselves within the new border when Israel was created in 1948.

Israel’s declaration of independence, the equivalent of a constitution, states that all citizens are equal but the one-fifth of the population who are Palestinian, believe they are less equal than others.
