    Israel's Labour party leader has appointed Raleb Majadele as science and technology minister - making him the first Arab Muslim in Israel's cabinet.

    I think this is a great step toward democracy in Middle East unlike the other things going on over there.

    Yes, but the point is that he has been appointed and I think it's great step toward true democracy

    I don't know much about the man, or the particular reasons for his appointments.

    If he is a man knowledgeable in politics, science, and technology, with good moral fibre, and that is why he was appointed, then I agree.

    If he was appointed to have a token Muslim on the council... I'm not so sure.
