I agree with myself on 80 percent of things, but when I look at myself in the mirror in the morning, I still have inner debates about the right thing to do.
From Ayman Odeh
The U.S. is friends with dictatorial regimes, then invades places like Iraq and Afghanistan, and what happens afterwards is a catastrophe. In the place of their leaders, fundamentalist movements that use the name of Islam spring up, and all that's left is terror and bloodshed.
If America would really stand behind the two-state solution, they could make real pressure on Israel.
I was a member of the Haifa City Council when I was 23 years old, which made me the youngest city councilman in Israel.
When I began my political career, I identified with Malcolm X.
Israel made peace with Egypt, the largest Arab State. There are militant Islamists there, but there is also law. There are agreements and also defense arrangements there.
Where there is law, and where there is government, there is security.
I am very wanted in my homeland. I am part of the scenery, part of the region. I resemble it.
An Arab who works and pays taxes is good for everyone. An Arab who doesn't work and receives social security stipends is bad for everyone.
The Right everywhere in the world gains more by forming a security agenda while the Left gains from a social agenda.
