....there will be no other option than to annex the WB/Samaria-Judea, give everybody an Israeli passport (including rights+obligations as citizens) and enlist all non-Jews in the army. When both sides have come to that point you will have reched your lasting peace in the region.

Having many young Israeli Arab friends...they say loud and clear The new generation of Israeli Arabs havent got the burden of history or the same philosophies or often misplaced loyalties of their older generation This is a new young generation of Israeli Arab. Confident, educated, successful and most of all comfortable and proud of their identities Israeli and Arab. Like Israeli and Jew. Like Israeli and Christian. Yet many can still be ostracised by the older generations as well as the by now marginalised old fogies like Tubby Tibi and Mad Zoabi who delight in disunity..and their discomfort when indeed they do or want to do National Service Time and again its been said to me that far from NOT wanting to join the army they feel they are being denied opportunities..To develop social skills, leadership skills, life skills, technical skills, confidence and most of all unity of purpose that only National Service brings

Whoever you are....G-d bless you...I pray there will be others to follow your example. Any Muslim who has the opportunity to interact with Jews on a daily basis will understand that the propaganda that demonizes us as a people is not true. We share common ancestry....let the baseless hatred stop. Living under an Israeli system is much better than Hamas, Hezbollah, or PLO!

Tibi & Zouabi are against arabs doing any kind of national service be it military or civilian and its discouraged. The arab MKs care more about the arabs in Gaza than they do for the arabs living here.

What you propose would be the end of Israel . It will never happen. Muslims in the Israeli Army ? That is an insane thought devoid of all reasoning. Read what brought down Rome . I can picture myself going to sleep im my Israeli tank with a Muslim soldier sleeping outside the tank with grenades in his combat vest. I can picture the hatch opening slowly and you know the rest . It happened to the 101st Airborne in Kuwait . You Liberals are real dreamers. No connection with reality. You cannot trust any of them. The terrorists go to their families to turn them into enemies.

you are very naive

Aha, so you have no Moslem soldiers in the US defence forces then? That was news to me. What I know, there are are between 5 000-20 000 US service men who are Moslems.

Yes the USA has made that mistake. But our country is becoming more stupid by the day . They will stop taking Muslims after we lose a large number of soldiers from Muslim terrorists who are fellow soldiers.

Excellent article and what an amazing guy!

Thanks for your lengthy analysis. It took me some time to get through it, and still I didn´t get the point really. Pls, could you elaborate on the matter?

The comment I made under number 7 NEVER stated that that the USA does not have Muslim soldiers. . I never said that . This article is about Israel and not the Armed forces of the United States.

You are apparently unaware of the following: Three Israeli Arabs have been generals in the IDF.An Arab Israeli has been acting PRESIDENT of the Jewish State.Arab Israelis have been or are ambassadors,consuls,cabinet ministers,supreme court justices,members of the police and other emergency services. In addition to being members of the Knesset.One has been speaker of the Knesset.Arab Israelis are college professors, military officers, physicians,lawyers,engineers, business owners,scientists, and the rest of normal everyday types of work. Israel must maintain its democratic values and system of justice. Have a happy and healthy new year.

no need to have long posts when many do not get through-thats called wisdom. Having said that, you need to study your enemy. Start with Islamic Caliphate.

Worries no more, 2 state for 2 people is coming to your doorstep very soon.

...the numbers of Moslem Soldiers in the IDF, will for sure increase year by year. Be certain about that! Furthermore, I do not agree with your analysis on what brought Rome down. It is also a little bit daring to compare Israel with Rome. Israel, a small Monotheistic nation compared to a Pagan and Hedonistic superpower with lack of Morals??

as a paratrooper i had the honor to serve alongside druz and bedouin soldiers . i would trust them with my own life . unlike the cry babies from the left camp , arab soldiers in tsahal have never commited any act of treason .

...Palestine Israel be led by an Arab PM.

Let the villagers stew in their pot.

To No7 your a fool.. We have had Muslim Troops and officers, Police, officer etc since the beginning of the state......I had non Jewish officers and worked with many muslim and christian militray and security personnel...They were all good , loyal personnel and really good friends.. As a jew I can say we don't need your kind of racist comments .which are only negative....we can much more cooperation between israelis of all backgrounds. I hope this soldier doe well and has a good life.. welcome brother to the brotherhood of Israel's defenders.

Just for information, there were Jewish soldiers on opposing sides in the 1914-1918 War.

You can't descend any lower than having an Arab PM Look at Libya, Syria, Egypt,etal, they're as low as your can get, crappy economies and your brothers killing each other" ` RUN FOR OFFICE, TAKE YOUR LIFE IN YOUR HANDS

Anyone who doesn't know the name "Amos Yarkoni" should google it.

This is stupid. Muslims should not view him as a traitor. He is being fulfilled by being in the Israeli Army. Let this man be happy, because Allah wants his followers to be happy.
