Issa Ibrahim scrolls through photos on his phone showing off his infantry brigade fighting in Gaza."I'm the only Arab!" said the resident of Abu Gosh, a small Israeli Arab town holding on to its centuries-old tradition of Muslim-Jewish coexistence."My mother asked me: 'You're going to fight Palestinians?' But she understood my argument. I want to defend my country, Israel. We just want to live in peace," the young photographer and army reservist told AFP.
