the ultimate hypocrisy

I am , in essense the ultimate hypocrisy.
Im jewish. somewhat religious, and im syrian.

Thats right. i am an Arab jew.

I am a Middle-Eastern Jew.

Although my loyalties are strictly Jewish, I have family that stayed behind in Syria, and I worry about wars, and bombings, and such.

Except there's a part of me that wants Israel to take over that little area.
But enough with the politics. I cannot even begin to tell you how many funny looks when other, more European Jews see me, and say
"you don't look Jewish at all!" or "your from Syria- so your Muslim right?"
ARGhs.

I know I'm a walking contradiction. Some people love me for it. Some people hate me.
Take it as you will.

I would think it makes you more interesting, well-rounded and a more compassionate person.

Or, all the confusion of other people would drive you insane!

Boy and I always feel like I don't fit in anywhere. I guess you must feel like that quite a bit. But I'll accept you and like you for who you are so long as you are kind and respectful to others. Thanks for commenting at the tea room!

I think most people are walking contradictions in one form or another. ;0)

That sounds like the opening monologue for a comic act. "That's right, I'm a middle eastern Jew..." :D
