A Country That Never Wanted Me

Israel's new nationality law only confirms what Arabs already knew: We aren't welcome.

Last Saturday night, the Jewish-Arab Hand in Hand bilingual school in Jerusalem was set on fire. Two first-grade classrooms were destroyed completely. Charred frames of the little chairs on which Jewish and Arab children had sat beside each other -- chairs where my children who attended that same school had sat -- littered the floor along with half-burned coats and books, in Arabic and Hebrew.
“Death to the Arabs” had been spray-painted on the school’s walls, along with “Stop assimilation” and “There is no coexistence with cancer.” Whoever set fire to the school cannot accept the idea of an Arab student sitting beside a Jewish student in the same classroom -- that it might be possible that Arabs and Jews would be equals. http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2014/12/03/a_country_that_never_wanted_me_israel_new_nationality_law?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_term=%2AEditors%20Picks&utm_campaign=2014_EditorsPicks12%2F3SLO
