Episode #12 Knowledge of the Other

What did you learn about Israelis? Actually, for us it differs. Jews are people who follow one of the monotheistic religions. But as a kid I can remember I listened to people who mixed between both [Jews and Israelis], and they considered both as enemies. For me personally, I had nothing against - it was not inciting me to do anything or to hate. But I could hear lots of hate speech about Jews. I did not learn at all about Arab culture, Muslim culture. I was practically blind to the fact that I'm sharing this place with another culture. I knew that Arabs are here, that they are dangerous for me and that I should fear them and be careful, because they want to hurt me, because they don't want me here. That's how I grew up.
