And he’s going to recommend to the Knesset that they implement this? What?! How is his economic views even relevant to the putative ambassadorship to Israel?
Who knows? I don't even care.
My friend and I went to Israel in 2011. One thing we learned is that Israel can take care of itself. It has a totally mixed population of Jews from everywhere, Muslim Arabs and CATHOLIC Arabs who often are the "middlemen" between Jewish and other-Israelis.
The "mix" seems to work because Israelis, Jews, Muslims and Catholics, Arabs and non-Arabs alike WANT it to work. It's their home...for ALL of them. And it's HOLY for all of them. Go figure.
HOWEVER, I know that it's only my opinion.
