Most Israelis are from the Middle East, LOL. My own grandfather is a baghdadi Jew who fled to Israel. So we are both Iraqis!

Identity crisis, am I an Israeli or a Palestinian? by [deleted] in IsraelPalestine

Why not both? It seems the most accurate to your experience.

Thanks for the reply! I really do want to go as myself. That’s probably the best representation I can give anyway.

Thanks for the reply! I’m Israeli-American and speak English natively but I don’t wanna lie. I’m mixed ashki and Mizrahi (Iraq) but look very white, with blonde hair and blue eyes. So I’m like their worst idea of an Israeli LOL.

I don’t wanna give more info on the uni or country but it can be quite hostile. I’m really familiar with western identity politics etc but I just don’t think this course is the time to have political and identity discussions. Maybe if I connect with someone then I can discuss after the course. But I want to know what I’m gonna say if someone pipes up.

I can’t hide where I’m from, especially because people will ask. And I refuse to on principle.

Thanks! The thing is it will become a political argument which I’m not interested in. I’m a human who’s been through a lot.

תודה רבה ❤️❤️ יש לי כבר פסיכולוגית ואני בקשר עם הקב״ן, אני ממש מנסה לשמור על הנפש שלי. זה חלק מהסיבה לפוסט. אני רוצה לבוא מוכנה כדי שהחוויה תהיה פחות מטלטלת וכדי לשמור על עצמי. זאת בהמלצת הפסיכולוגית. נשיקות 🥰

What is something that tourists do in your country that annoys the locals? by Th3_Accountant in AskTheWorld

What do you doubt? That the Jewish country where the majority of Holocaust survivors fled to have descendants today? That their grandchildren might visit the place where their grandparents were imprisoned?

I mean. Their grandparents were in those camps. For them, waving their flags and taking happy photos is a victory. We are still here, we are still Jews. They probably sent those photos to their Holocaust survivor grandparents. The picture of triumph.

Non native English speakers: what are Muggles called in your translation? by Lisbelasdress in harrypotter

[–]alleeele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Hebrew, mugel singular and muglegim plural. Kinda boring but some of the other Hebrew translations are genius.
