Is one of my favourite places in Israel. It is exemplary, Muslims, Christians, Druze and I believe that there are even a few Circassians, live side by side in harmony, friendship and brotherhood.

and their representative, Ahmad Abu Ghosh!

(p.s. Prime Minister Mr. Netanyahu and Minister of Sports & Culture Ms. Regev...so are you going to declare this medal ours or are you going to do RIGHT and congratulate our neighbor?)

Did you actually check the demographic data for Abu Ghosh?
It is a 100% Arab Moslem town.
Though there are some important historic churches, there are is no Christian population. Neither are there any Druze.
The main clans of Abu Ghosh are said to be of Circassian origin, but the modern-day inhabitants are Arabic speaking. The only two actual Circassian towns in Israel are Rehaniya and Kfar Kama, in the north.

Abu Ghosh has indeed lived side by side in harmony with its Jewish neighbors, since before the founding of the State, but it's not exactly known for its internal diversity.
