No words or a thousand words.

You can choose the words: coexistence, normality, anormal normality, contrasts, not what you hear, not what you see…

For sure not apartheid, not ethnic cleansing, not genocide or all the other brain wash terms used so easily when some people talk about Israel.

Despite the conflict the coexistence between Jews and Arab is part of the normal daily life in Israel in all the fields, a visitor coming from abroad, unfortunately not even a sinle one now because of the war with Iran, would be very surprised that the reality is so different of what is shown in part of the TV and social media.
