A Converation with Israeli Arab Christian Diplomat George Deek


(Tablet) Lee Smith - I strongly encourage readers to watch the recording of Israeli diplomat George Deek, an Arab Christian, at the Hudson Institute in Washington.

However, the Arabs don't see it like this at all. Rather, they see Israel as a foreign interloper that doesn't belong in the region, and one that will eventually be rooted out. But because Israel has the military and political power, it can make the case that: you don't have to accept us, but we're not going anywhere.
