The First Muslim IDF Officer
(Ynet News) Yana Pevzner - Lt. Hisham Abu Varia, a Muslim Israeli from Sakhnin in the Galilee, was inspired to enlist in the Israel Defense Forces by one of his older brothers who had joined up. "The army is the entry pass into Israeli society," he explains. "The Arab sector thinks it's second rate here, but to get privileges one has to give and not just receive."
