Arab Israeli Christians Debunk Myths about Jewish State

(Jerusalem Post) Jonathan Elkhoury, an Arab Israeli Christian, has made it his mission to debunk myths about Israel's Christian minority. Five years ago, Elkhoury formed a group of Israeli minorities - Muslims, Christians, Druze and Bedouin - who were interested in getting more involved in society, including serving in the Israel Defense Forces. "Now we have so many that are just waiting to go and speak," he said.

Christians make up 2% of Israel's population, around 160,000 people. "Christian society is one of the most successful minorities. We have doctors, lawyers, judges....There is no glass ceiling." Elkhoury said 1/3 of Christian teens join military service or the police.
