Israel's Ruins, page-39

There is a lot that needs to be done is Israel with respect to supporting Jews, Muslims/Arab, Christians, Bedouin etc.. There has been for a very long time Arab members of the Israeli Knesset but now in the coalition is a large step. There will need to be a lot of shuttle diplomacy and efforts and goodwill to keep the coalition together and functioning but time will tell if the broad cross-section of the Israeli demographic will benefit. It is definitely an interesting government agreement and although there seem to be those on either side of political extremities against it the potential for positive movement and solid national cohesion is great. As a Jew I am concerned though at the fact that Raam (The Arab party) have been supportive of Hamas and their attacks - not a healthy thing at all but we can hope for healthy function as they represent the Arab constituent who also have rockets coming their way. All in all the majority of the Israeli population Arab/Jew/Druze/Bedouin alike just want to live in peace and have a good life - and generally they do. Don't believe all you read or hear in the media. And you are hearing this from the horses mouth!
