The Jewish Adi Moran is from southern Israel, but now lives and studies in Jerusalem. “What is happening between Israel and Hamas is terrifying. But what is happening in the rest of the country between Jews and Palestinians, especially in mixed cities, is also really scary,” said Moran. She never had anything like it before: “I was really sad and afraid it was going to get worse.”
Still, Moran takes a positive look at the coexistence between Jews and Palestinians in Israel: “I joined a Facebook group called the ‘relaxed majority’. It contains all people from both sides who want peace. That is good for me. are loud, but they are in the minority. I really believe most people just want to live in peace. “
According to Palestinian Reham Mohammad, peaceful coexistence is not a matter of will: “We live, work and study together, so we have no choice but to live in peace.”
She works at a law firm in Haifa and is the only Palestinian in the office: “Fortunately my manager sent an email to everyone that we shouldn’t talk about politics and recent developments at work. if you do, there will be problems. “
She thinks it will be difficult in the near future: “So much has happened and there is so much hatred towards Arabs. In recent years it has been good, but now it will be really difficult to live together again as before. It may never be. become more the same. “
