This entry includes accounts of racism and xenophobia encountered by Palestinians and Jews in Israel. The text provides insight into history; however, The Posen Library does not condone or promote oppression of any kind.
In this play, adapted by Shmuel Hasfari from a novel by Sami Michael, the Arab woman Houda explains why she has decided to abort the fruit of her love for a Jew who has been killed in the Lebanese war. Such a child has no chance in Israeli society and can only expect the fate of being “an outcast to both Jews and Arabs.”
