Personal Thoughts:
(not for everyone, feel free to skip)

For the longest time, I struggled with my identity.

A Palestinian kid born inside Israel. Like…wtf.

Many of my friends refuse to this day to say the word “Israel” and call themselves “Palestinian” only.

But since I was 12, that did not make sense to me.

So I decided to mix the two and become a “Palestinian-Israeli”

I thought this term reflected who I was.
Palestinian first. Israeli second.

But after recent events, I started to think.
And think.
And think.
And then my thoughts turned to anger.

I realized that if Israel were to be “invaded” like that again, we would not be safe. To a terrorist invading Israel, all citizens are targets.

900 Israelis died so far. More than 40 of them are Arabs. Killed by other Arabs. And even 2 Thai people died too.

And I do not want to live under a Palestinian government.

Which means I only have one home, even if I’m not Jewish:

Israel.

That’s where all my family lives. That’s where I grew up. That’s the country I want to see continue to exist so I can exist.

Palestine should exist too as an independent state. And I hope to see the country thrive and become less extreme and more prosperous. I love Palestine and have invested in Palestine.

But it’s not my home.

So from today forward,
I view myself as an “Israeli-Palestinian”.

Israeli first.
Palestinian second.

Sometimes it takes a shock like this to see so clearly.

@aaliyadz95 @JackFought_1 the “iof” isn’t a real a real branch or the military. it’s used by pro palestinians to propagate that idea. the creation of israel was used for people to seek refuge after genocide and the land was obtained legally. history of israel doesn’t justify what’s happening to civilians

@aaliyadz95 @JackFought_1 the idf is a defensive military. if you believe that palestinians were raped and killed then obviously i condemn that. but hamas is a terrorist organization that needs to stopped and the killing shouldn’t continue on both sides especially since israel has tried to coexist

@aaliyadz95 @JackFought_1 i’ll admit there’s no proof of the rape, but regardless what they’re doing with her body is wrong and inhumane
