Let's hear from an Israeli Bedouin, even though he probably doesn't know as much of his own situation as do our resident haters.

An Israeli-Bedouin-Arab-Muslim,Ishmael Khaldi, spoke about his childhood, describing his life herding sheep and his home until he was eight—a traditional Bedouin tent.

"We are not perfect. Nobody can ignore there is discrimination there. But the vast majority of people, and the younger generation in particular, enjoy their rights, living in the only democracy in the Middle East. I believe we're going in the right direction," Khaldi says. "People also should remember, Israel itself is a minority in the Middle East. When it comes to judging Israel, the state, which people do all the time, you have to look at all of those things."

Khaldi says he feels it is his responsibility to speak honestly about Israel, both its positives and negatives, and to dispel myths and non-truths about his homeland. When asked by an audience member how to tell good Muslims from a bad, Khaldi responded by stating his own beliefs, shared by—among many—his father, that nowhere in the Koran is violence and hatred a priority over love and peace, and to interpret the Muslim holy book that way is wrong.

Cue the haters calling him an Uncle Tom.
