Look Who Also Says It Isn't Apartheid!!

Ishmael Khaldi is the vice consul for Israel in San Francisco and a Bedouin from Northern Israel.  Two years ago he wrote a response to Israel Apartheid Week in the  San Francisco Chronicle:

If Israel were an apartheid state, I would not have been appointed here, nor would I have chosen to take upon myself this duty. There are many Arabs, both within Israel and in the Palestinian territories who have taken great courage to walk the path of peace. You should stand with us, rather than against us.

Go read the whole thing.

Pray for the complete recovery of Daniel Aryeh Ben Tamar, the 16 year old boy severely injured in his school bus when it was hit by a laser guided anti-tank missile fired from Gaza on April 7, 2011
