Back to Episodes“If Jews were slaughtered, Arabs wouldn’t care” | Rawan Osman, Syrian Activist
Description
“If you were all slaughtered the Arab world couldn't care less and yet The Western media outlets celebrated Haniyeh as a peace loving dove” - so says today’s guest Syrian activist, Rawan Osman. Rawan was born in Damascus, to a mixed Sunni-Shiite family.
She came to Germany and encountered a relatively liberal, free society, describes herself as a “recovered antisemite” and when she came to Israel saw everyone of different shapes, sizes and colors, concluding this is a nation to learn from. Having only met Jewish people for the first time while living in Strasbourg in the city's Jewish quarter. These encounters forced her to reckon with the antisemitism she had been taught growing up.
Rawan came to Israel not only to learn but also to make a bit of a rebellious statement. “Once you’ve come as an Arab to Israel, you’ve crossed all the red lines”.
