Israel’s secret weapon in the ongoing fight against terror and hatred isn’t the Iron Dome missile defense system, though that has certainly helped.

Alene personifies the diversity and dynamism of Israeli society, and defies the false, malicious claims of “racism” and “apartheid” that Israel’s enemies fling like errant terrorist rockets.
