Safest place for Arabs is Israel

"And this is where, in my view, Israel shines: Despite being a country under siege, the country overflows with thousands of non-profit groups and Tikkun Olam (repairing the world) activists who are dedicated to improving the country.

 One of those groups is the Israel Democracy Institute (IDI) in Jerusalem, which I visited last week.

 After a two-hour chat with Prof. Yedidia Stern, Vice President of Research at IDI, where he heads the Religion and State project and the Human Rights and Judaism project, I came away with this thought: While there are plenty of difficulties with Israel’s democracy, it’s gratifying to see the scholars and activists who are working to improve this democracy. "
