Sal is a proud Palestinian American, born in Dallas, with dual citizenship from both America and Jordan. For years, I’ve heard about the indignity that my friend and his family endure because of their Palestinian heritage. Through years of fierce debate and discussion with Sal, I’ve seen him get angry about the issue. And when I feel myself spiraling toward the Israeli side, I remember Sal’s fear of a world without a Palestinian homeland, a soul-crushing hypothetical. Sometimes there’s only one person who can change the mindset of a Jew like me: his Palestinian best friend.
