Israel's Arab Citizens
A Fundamental Jewish Concern

Why should the status of Israel’s 1.6 million Arab citizens – 20% of the population within the ‘Green Line’ – matter to Israel’s Jewish majority or to American Jews? Can Israel be simultaneously the homeland of the Jewish people and a fully inclusive and equal home to its Arab citizens? How can Jewish-Arab relations in Israel be set right until the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is resolved? Bring your questions, preconceived ideas and doubts to a frank and open conversation with the CEO of one of Israel’s leading Jewish-Arab shared society organizations.
