As a Palestinian who grew up in a Jewish community, my parents told me about the Israel/Palestine conflict and how I should lie about being Saudi to save face. It’s terrible finding out that many of my old “friends” wouldn’t even talk to me if they knew

That’s awful. You should be proud to be Palestinian. So, so much of the world supports you in that.

At least at college most people are pro Palestine. I’ve started telling more people I’m Palestinian, but nobody from my hometown really knows except for 1 friend and he’s not even Jewish

I’m so sorry you had to go through that. You should be proud to be who u are. I’m partiallyJordanian I hid that from my hometown too bc I grew up with conservative very white ppl. It’s not nearly as bad you went through I’m sure. Just know the right ppl will love you for who u are
