The story of Israel's culture, society and politics from the perspective of a Muslim Bedouin minority in a Jewish state. 

Ishmael Khaldi is Israel's first Bedouin deputy consul and the first high ranking Muslim diplomat in the Israeli foreign service. In August 2009, Ishmael was appointed advisor to Israel's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Avigdor Lieberman. 

He holds a Masters Degree in Political Science from Tel Aviv University. He has served in the Israeli Ministry of Defense, Israel Police, and in the Israel Defense Forces as a political analyst.

For anyone interested in learning more about minority rights in Israel, and wanting to clear up the controversial and often contradictory claims surrounding the issue, why not get a first hand account?

All are welcome. The event is free. There will be a Q&A period following the address.
