Israeli Arab Diplomat: Israel Important for the Survival of Diversity in the Arab World
(Jewish Chronicle-UK) Josh Jackman - George Deek, a Christian Arab who is Israel's deputy ambassador to Norway, sees no contradiction in someone with Arab roots representing Israel. He says: "The biggest challenge the Arab world is facing is that it's moving from a place of diversity to a place of uniformity, from a place where we had Kurds and Yazidis and Jews to a place where people are hostile to each other just because they're different....Israel is the only minority in the region which keeps hope alive for the Arab world. As long as Israel exists, there is a chance we can move back from uniformity to diversity."
