Michael Khoury: Israeli Arab Promotes Trade in Canada

(Canadian Jewish News) Paul Lungen - Michael Khoury is Israel's trade consul to Canada. A Christian Arab, he hails from Shfar'am, near Haifa. He said in an interview in May, "The Arabs are a minority in Israel and the Christians are a minority inside the minority. We are 20% of the Arab minority." "It's very important to be part of Israel. We want to be a part in every aspect, in representing the country abroad, and professionally and personally. I feel really part of Israel...and I talk to people as an Israeli....I think it even makes it interesting for people to see something different, that somebody who's not Jewish is representing the State of Israel. It surprises people in a positive way. I think it's good. There are a few people like that, representing Israel abroad, mainly in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
