A Minority Of A Minority Of A Minority (3Ms)
Name: Bashara Hinnawi
Country of birth: Israel
Religion: Christian Greek Orthodox
Mother Tongue: Arabic
Yes, I am an Arab Christian Greek Orthodox Israeli and there are many like me.
Did you know we existed?
Allow me to draw the picture for you.
In Israel there is a minority of Arabs, and within the Arabs there is a minority of Christians, and within the Christians there is a minority of Greek Orthodox. In summary we are a minority of a minority of a minority, so when time comes and you think to yourself who does he think he is then here is your answer.
The Israeli National anthem denies my right to be there, the neighborhood I grew up in doesn´t really want me there and the first words that the children learn is who hates who, not focusing on the why but engraving the difference in their brains as if it is a given and nothing can be done about it, so beware when you leave your house there is a jungle outside and you are the default prey.
My parents were born in Israel, while my grandparents were born pre Israel (Palestine) but always being in the same region, so does that make me Israeli or Palestinian.
Soon you will understand that it doesn´t really matter.
