About 1,700 Bedouin Muslims currently serve in the Israeli army
They say they are being patriotic but other Arabs believe they are traitors
Bedouin Arabs have fought alongside Israel since the State was formed
By JAKE WALLIS SIMONS IN KA’ABIYA, ISRAEL, FOR MAIL-ON-LINE
PUBLISHED: 05:29 EST, 22 December 2015 |
In a small, rural cemetery in northern Israel, 25-year-old Mohammad Ka’abiyah brushes some leaves carefully from a headstone.
Like any Israeli graveyard, a number of those buried were killed in action. But here – as the numerous crescents and pieces of Arabic calligraphy indicate – all of the fallen soldiers were Muslim.
‘If you told this story to people from Europe or the United States, or even other Arabs from the Middle East, they wouldn’t believe it,’ Ka’abiyah tells MailOnline. ‘But it’s really a true situation.’
Meet Mohammad Ka’abiya the Muslim Arab who fought for Israel

Trump is that first step. If America will rally around him and actively support his efforts, America will indeed become great again!
A Silverngold Christmas to one and all!!

Don’t be a stranger. I keep saying I need a new carear after so many years but that’s as far as it goes lol Perhaps look to see what Trumps doing. With opportunities. If it’s going to bring jobs back to areas they will need housing and things that go with people like stores, malls.. Plus any energy projects. You have the experience to recognize things either way.

I have been absent for a few years. Although I was never a big poster although I had the pleasure of meeting many of you in the Georgia mountains and in Belize. Probably my most important contribution was posting some cool John butler trio music videos a long time ago. I must say though…my interest wanes when many of these artists attempt to become social justice warriors vs. musicians..which jbt has done.
Unfortunately I gave a well intentioned Irish a little money for the Belize operation so I took a break…for a few years. I did speak to a number of you after his accident and tragic death. I suppose if we are counting and keeping track…much later I did offset most of the losses with something another poster was talking about and I decided to tip my toe in the water and invested in…Bitcoin. Thank you so much maya. I think…I may have heard about it here first. Unfortunately…it was a small investment. Plus others I am sure talked about it. I try a lot of things…some work out and some do not. I assume maya is still around? Owe that guy a beer lol.
I see farmboy, goldielocks and muggy are still on…know I have talked to or met all of you if only briefly.
Happy holidays everyone!! I am thinking…I need a new career soon as I am a commercial real estate developer and investor. But…We shall see. Fortunately…my two teenage kids are techie kids…so dad may have to continue to help them focus on things like AI, robotics, crypto currencies, etc. I have a couple of farms still…and they know the very basics…but their interest are mostly a 180nfrom their father!
