Title:to #% Ken - That`s the Problem Israel NEEDS to speak more Arabic
Name:B`Galil
City: State: Israel
What`s wrong with speaking Arabic? It means being able to speak to, meet with, learn from, show respect for our neighbors. It`s something that FAR TOO FEW Israeli Jews know how to do.

I came to Israel last year with my family from the US - not to live in some VUZVUZ GHETTO but to live in the Land Of Israel where SUPRISE! lots of people speak other languages and many have been here for generations.

C`mon people, EMBRACE a little diversity - we live in a diverse land and we should celebrate this and not be afraid of it. Defend ourselves and our interests but not show hate towards others by isolating ourselves.
