I don`t doubt the validity of your response but you might be interested to know that when I visited Israel for a year, the one thing that I really liked, that enabled me to feel `normal` was that being Jewish for the first time, was of no importance. Everywhere else, it`s the first thing that`s made relevant because outside Israel being Jewish is remarkable - and they do remark. It seems you are only feeling what Jews feel in all countries apart from in Israel (and also to a degree in America).
The main difference though, is that I was born in the country where I live and where I am asked to identify myself. If you were Israeli, and also not Jewish, how would you feel then? |
