It works so well for us because nobody, and I literally mean no other state in the world speaks THE LANGUAGE.
When you grow up here you get used to being around all kinds that you previously never fully visualized as actual, walking-talking flesh-and-blood people. There's the Russian-speaking section to which I belong, the local Palestinians, the Ethiopian section, quite a lot of the Moroccan people, as well as many small _Iraqi / Druzi / some part of Europe that speaks not-quite-Russian_ escapees. They all have their quirky chains of characteristic behaviours and you sort of learn to place people in those groups pretty fast.
And yes, all of them have children that've grown up here, and fuck all knows what group any of them belong to (unless they look and act like their parents).
Israel is a sort of an ISLAND, and as anyone who visited Japan will tell you islanders are WEIRD. And sensitive to foreigners.
- Strshps1MoreTim 14y agoInteresting, do Arabs pretend to be Jews to pass the security?
- justin66 14y agoArab Jews certainly don't.
- wolf550e 14y agoThat's a strange question. How do you "pretend" something when the security personnel have your passport information, and for citizens, a lot more?
- Strshps1MoreTim 14y agoE.g. by buying a fake russian passport for $200, stating your nationality is Jewish.
- jacquesm 14y agoIt would be a career limiting move - to put it mildly - to try to pass Israeli immigration with a fake $200 passport that states that you are Jewish when you're not.
