Issues in Israel

I took a trip to Israel right before our class began and saw some interesting things relating to racial and cultural conflict. With all this conflict, Israel handles the diversity of religion, race, and culture well within its borders. I ate at many Arab restaurants where our Jewish tour guide would talk about how he served in the Israeli military with his Muslim friend from the restaurant. While there is so much hatred against the Jews from other Middle Eastern countries, most Israeli Arabs are content in coexisting. It will be interesting to watch the future of the Palestinian conflict and see if they are able to come to an agreement and coexist as other cultures have within Israel's borders.
