Half Jewish, Half Arab-Muslim Olympic Athlete Shows Truth About Israel
New York Post ^ | June 10, 2024 | Andrea Peyser

Adam Mara’ana is half-Jewish, half Arab-Muslim and all heart. Next month, the lights-out gorgeous citizen of Israel is set to represent the Jewish state in the pool as a member of the Israeli Olympic swimming team, traveling to Paris to compete in the 100-meter backstroke event. At the tender age of 20, Adam is more than an athlete. He is living proof that the country of his birth is nothing like the evil caricature portrayed in the international leftist media and slandered on college campuses near and far.

“My mother is Jewish, I served in the Army, studied Torah, celebrated Bar-Mitzvah, and my father is an Arab Muslim,” he said matter-of-factly in a recent interview. “I’m very proud of it and he’s very proud of me.” It doesn’t get much attention, but Jews and Muslims live peaceably in the tiny country. On a visit to the Holy Land, I was struck by just how well members of the two factions get along.

In Israel, Jews and Muslims are afforded equal rights as well as opportunities. Arabs are entitled to full citizenship, have the right to vote and serve in public office. They are guaranteed equal employment and wages under the law. All citizens’ human rights are upheld.

I was rather wondering about that myself.

I’ve heard this before. There are plenty Moslems living in Israel itself. Doesn’t seem to be much complaining there.

Jews are an ethnic group maybe racial group to? And a religious group. You can be one the other or both.

It’s obvious that Arabs enjoy a much better life in Israel than Jews do in Gaza...Iran...etc.
