It's a very complicated case, Israel and Palestine.
I lived in Syria, and my parents are still there, but all my grandparents are from Nazareth, they were born there.
We didn't get the Syrian nationality.
They look at us until now as Palestinian refugees.
I lived in a Palestinian refugees camp in Syria, they are buildings now, but they call it camp until now.
When I was a child, they taught us in school, mosques and media that Jewish took our land, and we should struggle to get it back.
We as Palestinians, Arab and Muslims are against Israel and USA, because USA supports Israel strongly.
When I was young and Muslim I looked at this conflict as a religious war.
To be honest, now I don't have any stable opinion about this issue and all the complex issues in the world.
The first time I met an Israeli person was in Greece, I was there for 18 months before UNHCR brought me to Sweden.
She was a friend of anarchists and communists Greek friends came to support the Syrian refugees who were stuck in the tents in Greece and I was among those refugees.
She was anti military working with an international group.
We became friends quickly, and talked for hours, we agreed on almost everything.
Some Palestinian refugees were angry with me, they don't trust any Israeli, but I didn't care.
After few months I began a job with American organization helps the refugees in Greece called Syrian American medical society, it's famous and you can find its page on Facebook.
There I met a doctor from USA, she wasn't religious but she belongs to a Jewish family in USA. She liked me so much, I think it was not a sexual love, she was much older than me and she was a mother and had a family.
I say that because she wanted me seriously to go to the US and she was ready to pay all the costs for that and to give me a house and everything I need.
She talked about me with a member of congress friend of her to find a way for me to go there, but the member of congress told her finally that it's impossible.
after that I came to Sweden, and it's good.
I hope that I will visit Nazareth and united states in future.
And I hope that one day all wars in middle east and world will stop, then there will not be refugees anymore.
I am sorry because my English is not so good.

Very interesting. It's not the first time I've heard stories of Palestinians and Israelis getting along. It makes me wonder where things would be without governments getting in the way. I also wonder where things would stand if the UN partition plan had been carried out.

Your English is fine, I appreciate your insights. The situation in that part of the world is complicated, I don't pretend to understand it, but I am pretty sure my country's involvement isn't helping.
