Towards any anti-Semite, I am a Jew

To adherents of Greater Israel, a Palestinian

To white supremacists, I am black

In face of rampant Israeli nationalism, I am a diaspora Jew

To Jewish megalomania, a gentile

For European Neo-Nazis, let me be an Arab, a Turk and a Kurd

To Xenophobes, a migrant worker

To women haters, a feminist

In the presence of aristocrats, I am a commoner

And with smug generals, a conscientious objector

 

Oded Pilavsky, 2002
