Domestically and internationally, President Trump finished 2017 in dramatic fashion.

Zionism was the national liberation movement of the Jewish people, not a colonial enterprise.

In Israel, Arabs, Druze and Christians have equal rights and serve in high positions in government, business, the arts and academia.
