When I used to play basketball back in 4th grade [lol], I was really good friends with these two Jewish guys, Sam and Connor.

A few months after 9/11, Sam told me that his mom said that he’s not allowed to talk to me because I’m Palestinian, and one day during recess, Connors older sister [2 years older at the time] came up to me, snatched my lunchpail from me, stepped on it, and told me not to talk to Connor anymore. When I asked her why, she said “because we’re Jewish and you’re Arab”, and from then on, I never got along with either of the two…not in Elementary School, or when I met them again in college a decade later.

There was another kid on my block who stopped talking to me because his parents told him that my parents were terrorists [also 4th grade]

In 5th grade I got a week’s worth of detention for punching someone who constantly called me a terrorist, and almost suspended because I kicked another bully in the balls because he was trying to tie me up and keep me from missing my bus [ended up getting detentions instead].

In 6th grade, I was required to talk to a counselor when I poured water into the backpack of this guy who kept calling me Osama, used scissors to cut out the bottom of another guy’s backpack who ripped the zipper off of my backpack, and poured a bottle of nailpolish into the backpack of a girl who spit at me. They all got nothing

7th grade was one of the worst, but all I can say is that I absolutely hate Team America for one reason: “Dirka Dirka, Mohammad Jihad”.

These were just a couple of the reasons I was excited to move back to Palestine for 8th grade.

I wrote these out because I was going to add them as commentary to another post, but then this got long so here it is as a post of it’s own for a few snippets out of the life of just one Arab living in America.

Thoughts??
