God give you wisdom Ismail !!!

"House Arabs". As are all the Druze ones. We need so many of them, after all, to counter our evil Zionist image! /sarcasm Here's the reality, Sayid - we have Arabs all over the place. It's just that you're looking for *Arab nationalists* rather than merely people who happened to have been born in an Arabic-speaking environment. And you know what's funny with Arab nationalist societies, which filled the Middle-East for decades? They don't even bother with house Jews. They don't have any left.

No Jew is allowed to be a citizen in that Saudi Mafia controlled Arbia and 99% of Jews from all other Arb countries were made refugees long ago or killed, most recently in Yemen were 200 Jews remain out of 100,000, 60 years ago.

Consul General in Atlanta, a Druze, an Israeli patriot, and its best spokesman..... Get with the program.

I know him personally from his work in San Francisco. He loves Israel and is respected. Stay in Sweden and mind your own business.

I have read some of the things that Mr. Khaldi has written and find him to be an able and persuasive writer in English and a man with intelligence and empathy. I have no doubt that he will be an insightful and important advisor to the FM. Lieberman, especially, needs such an advisor. He has made his reputation as a pit bull, but a FM must be able to communicate with the leaders of many different countries without constantly offending them. I hope that Mr. Lieberman listens to his new advisor. Best of luck to Mr. Khaldi.

By ethnicity? Then anyone not born in the Arab Peninsula or a pure-blood Bedouin tribe is not Arab. By language? But Reda Mansour grew up in an Arabic-speaking Druze household. It's his father's tongue and his father's tongue. By religion? Is perhaps Arab identity linked purely to Islam? Most of the old Arab nationalists would vehemently disagree, claiming that the Arab identity went beyond the trappings of a single faith. By politics? And it is here that you lose, Sayid, because that's the only definition you have left. And it's not a very comforting one.

Does it matter who he is: Arab, Bedouin or Druze? He is a representative of his country. And if Lieberman's choice doesn't serve your interests it means you have less acid to spill on the Israeli democracy.

He is a Bedouin and Arb society considers them inferior and not of their own. Only in in Jordan, where the King is a Bedouin too, and Israel can a Bedouin reach such a position

Good for Avigdor

yes, maybe. if that is true as you claim, that he is not an arab...maybe... this explains why he is so very intelligent, humane, well read, knoweldgeable, civilized, educated, realistic, professional, hard working and mostly loves and respects israel.

tell you the truth, the arab ummah doesn't love the palestinians. as a matter of fact, the arabs have imprisoned, tortured, killed, abused, used as political tools and treat the palestinian arabs like scum in s.a., in egypt, in syria, in lebanon, in uae, etc... ask any arab palestinian where he found it easiest to live and where he was treated the best...they will all tell you...ISRAEL. WE WERE TREATED THE BEST BY THE JEWS NOT BY OUR ARAB BROTHERS WHO HATE US AND CONSIDER US SCUM AND SECOND CLASS NOTHINGS... the arabs all over the world have a severe inferiority complex for good reasons...they have accomplished nothing in centuries. they are nomads from the desert with a clan/tribal backwards mentality, illiteracy and no education. this is why the arabs as a nation have very low opinion of themselves and this is why they are angry, frustrated, blame us all for their situation and are violent. arabs today still believe that the saladin era will eventually come to rurn things in favor of them, to conquer and subjugate other nations under a big caliphate. news to you my dear, when the oil dries up...you all will go in the dust from where you came since you have no brain power to create, to strive, to work hard and to moderrnize and acheive anything except violence and terror.

Just like Khaldi, the majority of Israeli-Arab are loyal to the country and would not do anything to harm its security..... It's a fact supported by the shabak... who closely monitor this community. However, for thier own political gains, racist jews decided to ignos the facts and incite aganst the whole community and advocated the nazi like aproach of transfer...

The definition of nationality which comes from Nation, that has a civilization because it belonged to a land did not reach these people. only a nomad can serve against the nation.

yet it does not stop the loonies in SF from preaching their belief that Israel is the worst, racist country ever. Druze are killed in other Muslim countries.

You make an amalgam not all jews are racist, as well not all arabs want to destroy Israel.
