Ishmael Khaldi, an Israeli Muslim, on Israel Apartheid Week: "There are many Arabs, both within Israel and in the Palestinian territories who have taken great courage to walk the path of peace. You should stand with us, rather than against us."

Now that just about says it all. An Arab (Bedouin) who is speaking for Israel and it's constant efforts to be a stable, peaceful democracy.
Thank you Tom. This needs to read by many people, though those with but a single mind will not grant it the recognition it deserves.

"Your criticism is willfully hypocritical: Do Israel’s Arab citizens suffer from disadvantage? You better believe it. Do African Americans 10 minutes from the Berkeley campus suffer from disadvantage - you better believe it, too. So should we launch a Berkeley Apartheid Week, or should we seek real ways to better our societies and make opportunity more available."

An unusual and honest man.

Interesting, why somebody would try to call Israel an apartheid, when Arabs and Jews have equal rights there. Including Arab MK, Arab parties, Arab landowners, Arab business people and even Arab winners of beauty contests.

I guess, that a "Wolf cry" to cover all the injustices committed in Arab countries.

Interesting to watch Israeli bashers having no clues what happens in reality contradicting first-hand accounts of Muslim falks living in Israel!

No Shame, No thoughts, but lots of Enthusiasm!

Zhorik is completely RIGHT, and because the Israel bashers are so bent on fashioning their anti-Semitism into a palatable international course of thought in the name of "justice", they ignore the fact that Arab countries are not real democracies and never have been. There is nothing like due process, and freedom of the press is available only sporadically when Arab governments feel that the threats from extremists aren't too pressing (which nowadays is most days!). Hatred blinds the to the truth that shines out--Israel is the democratic beacon of the Middle East, where despite problems, they grant more rights to more minorities than anyone else in the region!

Many Bedouin and Druze serve in the IDF as well.
