I Am a Zionist Because I Am an Arab

(Times of Israel) Fred Maroun - The reason I support Israel is because I want good things to happen in the whole Middle East. Israel is a role model that we can emulate. Israel gives a prominent role to religion together with innovation, liberalism, and democracy. It resolves differences without civil wars, insurrections, or military coups. In Israel terrorists are widely condemned, and the government, police, and religious authorities stand unambiguously against them regardless of their religion or the religion of their victims. I know that I represent a small minority among Arabs, but I would be in the majority if we Arabs took our blinders off. The writer is a Canadian of Arab origin.
