More good news from Israel: First Bedouin Border Policewoman: Amira al-Hib was sworn in last week as Israel's first Bedouin border policewoman. She comes from a family in northern Israel with many sons in the security services. "An Arabic-speaking border policewoman in contact with Palestinian women at checkpoints could prevent many misunderstandings," said the commander of the Border Police training base, Brig.-Gen. Gabi Orgil. (Maariv, 16Jan04)
