According to "Ha'aretz" this week, Samiah Zaharaladin-Kador, has been appointed to its Board of Directors by the Israel Ports Development Company, a government entity. She is (gasp!) both a woman and an Arab!

Are women and Arabs taking over here? Or is this just another example of Israel's long-standing policy of gender and racial/ethnic equality?
