Her writing and speaking revolve around democracy, economics, freedom, and the truth.
Dema grew up in a small Arab city in the center of Israel named Qalansawa, which once served as a trading center on the ancient route from Damascus to Cairo. She attended the ETC International College in Bournemouth, England, where she learned to speak English and became interested in other cultures, opening her eyes to the wider world.
At 15, she starred in a film about a Bedouin girl who breaks free of her culture to become educated. The first woman from her town to serve on the police force, she later worked for the Ministry of Diaspora in the Israeli government representing Israel on speaking tours across Europe and America.
Dema was the first Arab Muslim woman to run for the Knesset on the Likud Party. She hopes to represent her constituents in the national governing body in Jerusalem.view less
