The Arabs who Enlist
The five eight five recon battalion (has) existed for thirty years, and up
until now mostly Bedouins and Circassians served in it. But in recent years
more and more Christian-Arabs and Muslim-Arabs who decided to enlist
to the IDF come to the battalion. The percent of enlisters in the Arab
society is very low – one percent – but in the past three years there’s an
almost ten-fold increase in the number of Arab-Israeli enlisters. Not
everyone likes this – many Palestinians as well as Arab-Israelis calls Arabs
in the IDF traitors. But the Arab enlisters want to integrate into Israeli
society better, take care of their financial future, as well as contribute to
the country.
