Israeli Arab activist Rasool Saada, unseen, is crisscrossing the country to encourage fellow Arab citizens to vote in Jan. 22 parliamentary elections, convinced they can make a difference. Numerically, he’s right. Historically, it hasn’t worked out that way. Arabs make up about a fifth of Israel’s population, but their voter turnout has been much lower than that of the Jewish majority. Many Arabs are disillusioned with politics, feeling alienated as a minority in a Jewish state and dissatisfied with their own squabbling, ineffective representatives.

Umm El Fahm is one of the ten towns being targeted for job growth and development under the government's program. In the year since he graduated from Israel's top technical college, Samer Kablawi has sent out over 50 resumes to high-tech companies and had one interview. It's a predicament that may seem typical for young graduates in a world still emerging from recession. But Kablawi notes one discrepancy: While his fellow Arab classmates have struggled to find work, most of his Jewish classmates landed high-tech jobs months ago.
