`The message couldnt be clearer; We are basing
our national strategy on a world that no longer exists.

The so-called Arab Spring unleashed forces that have been dormant for a century. Like their counterparts throughout the region, Israels Arabic-speaking minorities are changing in profound ways. But our leaders fail to grasp the implications of what is happening.
Consider the Christian community.
Father Gabriel Nadaf, a Greek Orthodox priest from Nazareth, has become the symbol of this new period. Nadaf is the spiritual leader of an Israeli Christian movement calling for Israeli Christian youth to serve in the IDF. He is responsible for the 300% rise in Christian Arab enlistment in the IDF in the past year.
Nadaf does not hide his goal or his motivation.
His seeks the full integration of Israels 130,000 Christians into Israeli society. He views military service as the key to that integration.
Nadaf is motivated to act by the massive persecution of Christians throughout the Arab world since the onset of the Arab revolutionary wave in December 2010.
As he explained in a recent interview with Channel 1, it is in light of what we see happening to Christians in Arab countries, how they are Slaughtered and Persecuted on a daily basis, Killed and Raped just because they are Christians.
Does this happen in the State of Israel? No, it doesnt.
