Views from a Tent

I think this is well done; I can foresee the immediate response of the anti-Israel groups being to call him an Uncle Tom (or the Arabic equivalent). To help counter this, it might help to show some statistics at the end that would detail number of Bedouin who serve in the army and are involved in other ways in the civic life of the country.

This is a good start - widening the view of

Israeli's diverse democracy. It would be great to see a whole group discussing their positive feelings (Bedouin, Arab, Ethiopian Jew, Russian Jew, et al) about being Israeli.

This is wonderful! 5 stars. Great PR for Israel! Thanks.

It is great to see a representative truth about Israel from a non-Jew, and how democratic and harmonious intended the Israeli government is. I also like the credibility of the non-Jew about the true state of the Middle East regimes.

I think this video is excellent. To comment on the first comment above from Danfendel, the phone rings because there's an accident and they need this guy to drive the ambulance. When the phone rings, he says, something happened.

Very nice, but the last 20-30 seconds (from when the cell phone rings) seem pointless.

It is so nice to see non-Jews in Israel talking about how good they have it rather than the usual promotion of the bad things by enemies of Israel.

I undetstand, however, that Bedouin Israelis do not identify as Arab Israelis.

I also hope that this man's comments are typical for Bedouin Israelis. It would be nice to put this in a wider context.
