Assalamu alaykum my siblings! I am an Arab Jew who is barred from entering the country of my descent because my family was exiled for being Jewish, despite my family residing there for thousands of years. I am rather scared of approaching cultural spaces because in the past most people ostracized me for being Jewish, assuming I was a Zionist (when I am anti-Zionist.... just no one asked). Do you have advice for how an Arab Jew can start trying to rebuild community in Arab spaces without having to relive the generational trauma? Is rekindling this relationship something you as non-Jewish Arab people may be interested in?
Actually what you saying is something i personally hope for, but it's a bit tough if Israel keeps the machine running for longer
The longer the war the more the hate between both parties
But if we can just talk about how you as a person make more friendships between people from your country, you can start by talking to people online, visiting that country once or twice and gradually you can make a progress
