In Israel, Christian Arabs Can Now Register as Aramaic Christians, Not Arabs

(Jerusalem Post) Israeli Interior Minister Gideon Saar on Tuesday ordered that the population registry recognize a separate Aramean identity. Christians who identify with the ancient people can decide to register as Arameans instead of Arabs. MK Yariv Levin, who supported the move, said, "The reality is there. There is a big difference between Christians and Muslims, and they deserve recognition."
