Arab Muslims in Israeli Police Force

The Sunday September 4th NYT reported that Israelis are pushing to recruit more Arab Muslims into its police force, many of whom are vastly underrepresented in its ranks and vastly over represented among criminal suspects and victims. Perhaps this can help allay some of the tension between Arabs and Israelis; it could also change the mentality of the police. Most exciting, in the spirit of RONIT AND JAMIL, is Aisha Dahleh, the first police officer in the region, a woman, who will be wearing her Muslim head-scarf. This is the premise behind my book-efforts toward reconciliation!
