"I am a Palestinian citizen of Israel, and I'm not an enemy of the state"

    In the article I read this week, a Palestinian citizen of Israel confronts the Israeli legal system and how it supposedly targets non-Jews. She narrowed in on the sad reality that an Israeli and Palestinian doing the same act would be treated like polar opposites. Despite both individuals being legitimate citizens of Israel, if each were to be in possession of a knife, the Israeli's case would be seen as a safety precaution, and the Palestinian's a threat. It's hard to agree with an opinion that is against the way Israel is run, but we experience the same sort of discrimination around the world. It's strange and new to see these similar facts presented from a different lens. Although it was difficult to read, we have to remember that there is really no such thing as perfection. People, situations, and countries alike, not one will ever be without flaws. This article was very eye-opening and offered a perspective that I wouldn't have thought up on m own. It was different to read along and agree somewhat with each opposing viewpoint.
