This video reminded me of this article.

Being an arab living in Israel who has friends on both sides (it would surprise you how little we actually mix, socially) I was afraid to express my opinion about the latest Israel-Palestine issue.

I didn't want anyone to dislike me (on both sides). I did not want my arabic friends to think I am a supporter of the attack by telling them that I dislike Hamas. And I did not want my jewish friends to think I am a supporter of Hamas by criticizing the IDF.

In the end, I said nothing.
