A murky wave has clouded the last part of 2022. We feel a threat to the foundations of our democratic existence, exposed to discussions everywhere characterized by racism. Ideas of discrimination and legitimization of unequal treatment rise to the public discourse, most of the dark ideas are brought up in public, by members of the elected leadership and many join it. And so, it seems to me that today, it is doubly important to write a new article here on the blog, to remind us of the sanity shown through the actions of the shared life in our country. We at the Dialog Together website, have always spoken of the many activities related to a shared life between Arabs and Jews even though most media do not. We are here to talk about the many actions that promote the principles of equality, the ideas of open-mindedness, openness to one another and the importance of constant and consistent dialog among us. This discourse was born during our joint activities and our intercultural striving to preserve the democratic values in the diverse communities.<\/p>\n
