Reader comment on item: The Saudi Solution
in response to reader comment: Dear Dr. Pipes
Submitted by Jeff (United States), May 23, 2016 at 13:20
Well, I guess this news hasn't quite reached down under yet, mate. But Israel's population already is almost 21% Arab, that's over 1.6 million Arab citizens of Israel. And there have been elected Arab members of the Knesset since 1949. Israel can already claim, completely accurately, that she is not just a land only for the Jews but is a secular democratic nation.
What other countries in the middle east are on the list of secular, democratic nations?
