For Arabs and Jews, already deeply scarred, these tragedies deepen our fears and frustrations. But we should not succumb to anger. We need a new approach.
After the terrible massacre perpetrated on Israel and with the retaliation now being visited on Gaza, the Middle East is once again aflame. All of us bear the heavy historical weight of our specific identity, the voices of grandmothers and grandfathers, the story of their struggle, the wars that have already ended, those that go on still, and those that are within us.I am proud to be from a Palestinian family whose roots are planted in this land for generations.
Consider that scores of Palestinian Israelis were among those murdered by Hamas.In Israel these days, there is a magnifying lens on Arab citizens. In the Jewish-dominated media, people are asking whether we condemned the massacre enough.
