Three key takeaways from her talks are:

Israel provides the opportunity for its citizens of every race, color, or creed to enjoy the freedoms of the country.

• BDS is a propaganda tool of those seeking to destroy Israel, without any concern over who they destroy in the process.

• The accusation that Israel is an “Apartheid” state is both ignorant of what life is like in Israel and an insult to those who struggled against real Apartheid.

Women can play a role in shaping the future of Israel.        

• Women can shape the direction of our society by bridging differences and building cooperation.         

• Primitive cultural differences prevent women from realizing their potential, which in turns limits society.

Improving the lives of the Arab minority will improve Israel’s economy, security, and quality of life.   

• Improving the education of Israeli Arab children will help them keep pace with Israeli Jewish children, resulting in the closing of the economic divide between the two groups.

• Widespread national and military service will increase ties between the Arab population and other Israelis, making connections and learning skills that can transfer to economic and civic life.
