I honestly don't know the full picture of what life is like for Israeli Arabs but most problems they have with living within Israel seem to be security related and sympathy with the plight of their fellow arabs living in the occupied territories:

That doesn't there aren't ethnic tensions. There is a war going on. But at least they free to speak their minds within Israel.

Here is a "jewish" article that predates 9/11 and the "so-called" War on Terror.
